I never would have known how much work was involved in building one of these models. Getting the time is not easy and I am determined now to get this finished. I am starting to see light now at the end of the tunnel. Sorry I havent been keeping my diary up to date so heres some pics and my progress to date. Rigging is very intricate and seems to be never ending but I am happy with my progress. A very daunting project at the start but she is really starting to come together now. Gonna get some pics up after this post so bare with me. File Attachment(s): neon attached the following image(s):

Nice to see you back neon . The rigging looks spot on m8 . A little tip when I do the rigging I mark the instructions with a highlighter pen so I know which one I have done. Martyn Building ?

Ok lads I have been very busy the last few weeks with this. I now have all the rigging stays done etc. Very fiddly making sure all the masts are straight etc but I am pleased with the outcome. I have the main sail rigged and hung. I havent decided yet but i think I will be rolling up the bottom sails like on some models i have seen here.
