silkspan , it's pretty easy to work with bertie , as for the beer , I've heard you have a great range of quality one's to choose from , should be an enjoyable experience . 😜

thankyou for the nice comments guys , got the bowspit sail attached today , might have to shift a few lines , as they are a bit crossed over , no biggie though . I hope my 4mm deadeyes turn up soon , I'm running out of stuff to do , in order .

also started some rigging on the bowspit .

thats looking great jeff . -
simple would never be the right word S-boat55 , the main , and preventer stay is finally on , not too happy about this though , the front four shrouds have all come loose , sorry about the picture quality .
-
got the main shrouds in and the lanteen spar and sail straightened out . still got to make some rope coils for the belaying pins .
-
I not really sure if the lanteen spar had parrels or not , but I thought that they looked cool .

nice work mate .
-
thanks jeff , well a mans not a camel now , 😆 .at this stage I don't think I will be doing reefing points , as I will be doing mostly furled sails , or being drawn up sails . but I intend to still do all the clue , cringle and reefing lines .
-
silkspan attached to my sail making device , { patent pending } , here it has the paint , glue , and water mix applied , after it has dried cut to shape.. glue the rope edging in with pva glue and attach nothing is fixed in place yet , I have to wait for the main shrouds to go in .
-
nice work beefy , but I still get sore eyes , just looking at it . 😄
-
nice work jon , I have the hood , but in 1/350 .
-
generally it's the bottom part of the mast , burton pendants , shrouds , preventer stays , in that order , then just keep working your way up , i leave the rat lines till I've finished the inside running rigging and sails , if I do them ! so I can work between the shrouds more easily . hope this helps beefy , if you need more info just let me know .
-
couldn't believe it , found the right size syren thread behind my desk , just enough for the mizzen mast , so I have started the lanteen spar , everything is loose at the moment , I will post pic's of the sail when it is done .

their's a lot of swear words dmitriy , and each country has a different version of them too , 😆
