Looking very nice indeed. I wonder how many miles of rope it took to outfit a ship like this.

HMS Prince Nearly There
So I’ve finished rigging the ship using a bit of artistic license in places. I cannot guarantee that this is an accurate rig of how it would be in real life and I do know that it’s only half the rigging the actual real ship carried but I just wanted to give it an effect of having rigging It’s not a museum piece by any means
All that’s left to do now is repair two lanterns the middle ones usable but the two outside ones weren’t so have to reconstruct those they’re still in the process of being built and the flagpole which is currently being painted before it goes onto the ship at the rear or the Stern
As you can see the model has now been transferred to a perspex case to protect it from dust because dust will kill the rigging completely it may not look very elegant but it will protect it so the next time you see some pictures it will be in the finished state and in the completed model section for Maritime ships gallons etc meanwhile here are the last set of pictures showing the complete rigging
