I started back in October and I have not even finished the copper plating. This model is kicking my butt!

 

[GGibson]

The top rails and netting looks really good!

 

[Philski]

Firstly thanks for all the likes and comments it helps to keep me motivated.
I can't believe it's taken me two years to get to this point I thought I would have it finished by now.
I've finished painting the masts and made the rails for the tops.

The rails are made in two halves and glued together with netting inbetween.

Looking really good!

Very good work on the masts and the details. They look very nice.

 

[Thrasher]

Great job. Each mast is a model in itself.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, they seem to come around quicker every year.

Happy B-Day, Tony! Just getting caught up on your build.

Great results on your ship's boats. And your Connie is beautiful—one of the best examples I've seen. You have a steady hand, Sir, which is evident in the stem painting of the scroll work.

Hi
Just a quick update I haven't done much in the last few weeks because it's to cold to spend much time in the garage.
I've started making the yards, these are pretty straightforward. When it came to the jackstays there's not enough eyepins provided in the kit so I decided to make my own.


Hopefully it will start getting warmer soon and I can make some better progress.

It's too hot in my garage to work right now. Funny how that works!

I have made all of my eyebolts for the yards as well.
