Happy birthday, Oleg!
Man, that rigging is really coming together nicely. I'm still working on getting a simple length of serving to look right, but these served strops really impressed me. What are you using for serving? And what kind of line do you use?

Hi Oleg,Hi Eric, thank you!
For all the ropes I use Gutermann threads Tera and Scala, for serving I use Scala 200 and I do it by hands
Lovely work again.
What do you use for coloring your ropes?
Nothing. It's a native colour of the threads, black is black, the other one is #633
Your mast rigging is looking great - very good work
Fantastic rigging work, Oleg!

A lots beter of what I do
Oleg, thank you for sharing your build, fantastic workmanship and a great eye for detail.
As a Paul, from Scotland and with my father and grandfather telling me from a very young age that JPJ was a relation of ours, black sheep of the family was how he was described! How true that is I do not know.
My family have had a long history with the sea, uncle was a marine architect, father was a pattern maker both in Denny's Shipyard, my brother a Radio officer and I started out as a marine Radar Tech with Decca Radar.
I really do appreciate seeing your Bonhomme Richard, your model is really beautiful and I am loving her lines.
