A good plan of what went where.

It seems that everything goes everywhere!!!! Pretty simple really eh?

Almost finished i have the masts on and all the main building is finished only the rigging(oh joy) and the sails to go.

It's the ratlines that always got to be a drag. The running rigging is less boring

great job so far Peter, look forward to seeing it rigged and good luck with that

As I seem to be in a rigging mood I thought it was  high time i finished this one as it's been sitting on the cupboard for the last two years so here's the result of a couple of days rigging and cleaning two years of dust away.

Looking great Peter, imho think it would look a lot better if you gave the coloured paint (not the gold) a matt coat as they were not painted with gloss paint.

Really good Peter, I like these old sailing ships but do not envy you having to do the rigging etc.
