I know its been a long wait for those following this build but happy to say I now have the chance to actually move this build forward... So, its onto issue 123, this one proved to be quite long with a lot to do. Issue started with the painting of some more bling and adding this in place, including the lion sitting on top of the bowsprit, this I thought looked really neat perched the way it is. Fitted the 2mm brown thread around the lion and superglued into the bulkhead above the doors. Next moved onto constructing and fitting the 3 crosstrees and flagpoles, mounting these on top of the masts. Made up the futtock shrouds, fitted these and set about adding the ratlines. Fitted more stays to finish the session off... Have to tell you, it feels good to be back working on her.... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Moving forward a little by adding the backstays to the 3 masts. Also added a little rope work hanging from the bulwark belay pins, just gives a little more authenticity... Next up is to start fitting the mainsail.... Happy building all.... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

It's been a while since I looked in on this, it's looking great. Feels like the final stright now should come together quickly Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
