Martyn Some very detailed painting your doing there and achieving a very professional result. Hope it's not not giving you too much eye strain looking at all those small parts. Mine are causing me grief - just wish I could find a decent optician that wants to help me see rather than just take my money. You will have a stunning model when complete - very well done. Happy Modelling

She certainly looks a lot different with the cannons and masts in place, rigging is fun but very time consuming but am sure you'll love the task.... .. Great work once again Martyn.... Regards Alan

Thank you all for the nice comments Next bit of the build fitted the bling to the side of the hull and finished rigging the cannons Now on to the mast's . Fitted the foremast with the rings to the lower mast so it fits the hole  Next the deadeyes . I made a jig to fit the deadeye so I could tie the thread round and bind them with the thiner thread Thanks for looking in rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Looks splendid, looking forward to seeing the rigging going up “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Martyn, great start to the rigging.... It's a fun part of the build but will say it does at times feel very repetitive. Thoroughly enjoyable though.... ..Great job... Regards Alan
