You deserve a tot of Pusser’s rum to toast your success Brian. Really looking shipshape now

Or two - Sippers or Gulpers? ...

This morning was a early start and got a bit done

 

[Bri62]

When I built plastic models I never really bothered with the rigging doing the bare minimum and saying that will do, if I did the same on this model it would look totally unfinished the difference is massive, just a thought
Asking people in the know how far off finishing do you think I am ? Start August 20th 2024, go on have a guess

I would say at least another 8 months given the level of detail you are adding.

I’d say another year, but it does depend on how many hours you put in a day . Still got all the running rigging to go haven’t you?

However long it takes, it is time well spent on this, Brian. Epic modelling.

Did a bit more this morning, It's surprisingly tiring doing the rigging!!

I think you are further ahead than you think. A couple of levels more of shrouds, backstays, yards lifts, footropes , signal halliards and tacks and braces. Might sound a lot but should get through it well before Christmas.

Good luck
John
