Extraordinary work, Mustafa. A masterpiece!

I’m signed up to follow this build, but I haven’t received a single email notification of a new post! I’m up to speed now, though. Sorry I haven’t been around to share the journey and cheer you on.

Once again…magnificent work!

Thank you very much for your interest Dave.

Thank you so much Shota. Yes, I hope I will finish her soon After the rigging of the topgalants/royals, I will make and mount the yards. In total there are 14 yards on the masts.
I am planning to build HMS Alert from scratch after I complete Essex.

I am looking forward - sounds also very interesting and I would like to make already a reservation for a seat in the first row
BTW: very good work on the rigging....

Happy christmas friends. I am sharing what I did on Essex since my last post. Not too much proceeding because the rope, blocks etc. production continues alongside the model.

 

[mtbediz1]

Thanks so much for the likes my friends.
The main lower yard has now been mounted and I've begun the running rigging lines. The jeers, sling and truss pendant have been completed.

Hello friends. I watched a few videos on the internet on how to make rope coils for the belaying pins, but I couldn't get the image I wanted in the trials and I developed my own method.

Dear Mustafa
your method looks great, well done
Your ability to develop your own creative methods is very impressive

Thank you so much Shota. I like to think about how to do a job in the simplest way. Being an engineer definitely contributes to my work as well
