[linton]

Foremast structure done and dry
mounted. Continuing with main and mizzen mast. Still lashings and running rigging points to mount. All seems to be going well.

Masts together now. Just dry fitting for now, lots of rigging points to mount. Then Ill start on the spars.

I've mentioned this before - but I remain fascinated by this color scheme. Lovely work.

Very good progress
I like the overall appearance of your model very much - now with the dark masts also - very good

Started yards this week.

Still progressing, albeit a little slowly. Masts in now. Loose fitting backstays for later attachment to deadeyes.

Been reading this book recently. Very interesting although the print is quite small.

Very impressive work. This is a ship I wouldn't mind building one day.

Well , the festive season is winding down and I am past another distraction that has slowed the build down of recent times. Hoping to get into again shortly. Stand by..

I did post this elsewhere. It comes from an army/navy journal dated 1899.
