Do not stop working on that! You have done a good job by now! I like it. More pictut , please!

 

[peterairfix]

DISASTER! The shelf that it was on collapsed destroying the bowsprit and the front end plus the tops of the fore and main masts and i am left with a pile of bits to sort out the masts are sorted.

So i can have the opotunity to do a better job.

Yeah, bummer that it got damaged Peter, it was looking really good. I'm sure you'll get it patched up and sorted.

 

[Guest]

hi peter she's looking fine hope you get back to her soon you've done a great job and not looking forward to doing the rigging myself really either.


cheers steve

 

[peterairfix]

I am now back to where i was before the accident, first thing to do has been to put some netting on the bow just under the bowsprit i will be starting with magazine number 101.


The next up after will be a long job and that will be doing the ratlines so i will be on this for some time. View attachment 109453

Sorry to hear about the damage ......... But glad you are getting it sorted.

 

[monica]

nice repair work,and glad you were able to get it sorted,


and coming along very nicely,

 

[Guest]

Was genuinely gutted when I saw what happened to this. Glad it's going, let's get it finished now! You seem to have done great work so far mate.

 

[peterairfix]

Time I pulled this one off the shelf and dusted her down and restarted as it's been well over a year since I have done anything.


So here's where i left off i had started on the ratlines and as they will take for ever to do I will do one a week.


The port side fore and lower main mast ones are complete (just!).


So this is it until next week.


Comments welcome

Magnificent Peter.


The rigging is looking fantastic and you've done a remarkable job with the repair. This will be stunning when complete.


Cheers

Good to see you got it repaired.  It's looking good.  The ratlines are my least favourite part of the rigging.

 

[monica]
