This is an amazing build  ,the rigging is a massive amount of work. I have a billings one , it was a model to keep me occupied while I recovered from a broken leg in 1990 gave up after the masts were fitted . Put me off boats and modelling for 25years🤭.

Thanks.
Maybe you should get that back out and dust it off.

Not a chance , sails ,rigging string and all the spars? long gone. May cut it open for rc and turn it into some sort of steamship.

I often go down those lines myself (I love doing stuff that's one off)(some may say nuts)
Hi all the next spar has all the block and tackle added.











And the sail


Added the spar and sail





Don't know why I left off here but I didn't finish the paneling when I shelved this.

More work on this one, did some more to the sails rigging and made a start on the rear boats station.




The supports for the rear boat station are too short (we'll in fact the first one is too short as the ship is wider there so I had to widen the gunwale to accommodate it.

Hi all I promise I've not given up on this, that ships boat I can only do one plank a day as I have to wait for the glue to dry.
I've added the panel ornamentation panels to the gunwhales.

You must be using the wrong glue!
