Good morning Vic. Lovely build. I am still blown away at the detail you included on such a small scale ship. Congratulations. Cheers Grant

This is my other Connie, Grant. I completed this one a couple of years ago when I was just beginning. Lots of mistakes. A guy was apparently visiting this completed build to get some ideas for his Connie. This one is a 1:100 scale. My other one is 1:170 scale. Thanks for looking in. I appreciate your encouragement. I’m spending weeks on sail making on the other Connie build. I was just looking at your Zebec sails yesterday to see how you did your reefers. It looks like you sewed two parallel horizontal lines to guide your reef points. At the scale of my current model. I’ll probably just use one line. My bolt ropes are already out of scale—too big. Oops! I’m highjacking my own thread!
