Okay, todays offering,
These are the two boats supplied, I had previously painted the hulls and top frame and rudder - but not the oars, ran out of white enamel (well it had dried out completely in the tin) so had to use the offering from the helicoptors - those pesky little capped tubs with paint a brush and glue kits (which incidently is what this kit is), complete waste of time for the white, runny like milk, but it's got used, will need to buy a fresh tin later and go over the oars again.
Fitted the shrouds on the foremast, first the bottom ones, hopefully how I fitted these I can do to the main mast - the mizzen is a different story. fitted the next part of the foremast and the crows cradle and then fitted the upper shrouds, these shots show the shrouds with their tails threaded through the miniscule holes I had to drill, some breakouts but once the thread is glued in place and cut back it doesn't look to bad, and when painted - .
After painting the bits black (another tin of painted needed - doh), I fitted the yards, and the final photo is it placed on the warped main deck, when the main mast is done it will be supported on the main deck as well, with the relevant bits secured in their relevant areas, so when the test in water is conducted the boat will be weighted approximately so that when the brass front bit is on I will see what extra weight is needed to keep her upright.
