Bowsprit has been mounted and just installed the Gammoning, using 40 links per inch chain. About right for scale.. I'm happy with it. Most of the hardware and blocks have been added to the sprit as well. She is a very long stick. At 68ft on the full size ship, must be something to see up close. Now have to be very careful working around the bow and moving the model, don't want to break that baby. Cheers! Dennis
