The Lower Main sail is installed completely.  I chose to show it partially furled due to the large size of the sail.  I believe that I'm working towards displaying the model as she begins her voyage to distant shores, releasing sail to a fresh, gentle breeze off her port quarter. Dennis

The sails look extremely realistic, not an easy effect to capture on a static model. Excellent!

Thankyou sir.  I sure wish I could be shrunk down and stand on deck to belay a line to a belaying pin.  I have special riggers tools that I made to help me reach into tight areas, but still, must very carefully thread my huge hands in to make a delicate attachment.  As the sails go on, the rigging intensifies so much so that it nearly boggles the mind %% .  Tks for watching, we are getting there.  Today, I'm working on topping lifts and braces for the main upper Topgallant.  Dennis

At last, the main Skysail is mounted, just needs the back braces and the main is done.  I need to correct some of my terminology with respect to the main sails.  I discovered that the kit is not accurate in calling out the names of the sails.  Using Underhill's plans, the correct terminology for the main sails is as follows, starting at the bottom and working up: Main Course, main lower Topsail, main upper Topsail, main Topgallant, main Royal and main skysail.  Cheers, Dennis

Isn't it just - I could not do this in a million years  O0   I honestly think that rigging to a standard that looks real is a talent on its own.

Merry Christmas to all and best wishes for a Happy New Year.  I just got out of the hospital over the holidays, so not so much model work got done.  Now home and back at it.  Just installed the port fore brace to the lower mizzen yard.  Those braces will now run forward instead of aft and posed a real challenge getting inside all that rigging now in place from the main. Both glue lines are rigged as well.  My goal is to finish this project before I leave this earth and so far, the good Lord is giving me Grace to do just that.  Cheers!  Build on!  Dennis
