Re: Andrew's Minor Victory
More rigging. I really have to be in "The Zone" to rig a kit, and I was surprised that I managed this today - as I was up at 4 am and again at 5 am with Young Master Hyperactive.
I also added detail to the bowsprit.
This needs painting and a few lines rigging.

Re: Andrew's Minor Victory
Keep going, a couple hundred more lines & it'll look just the part 
I can recommend a couple books to guide you ...

Re: Andrew's Minor Victory
Sometimes the "rigging zone" appears unbidden.
And you seem to have found yourself well caught up in it Andrew
This is getting better and better.

Re: Andrew's Minor Victory
The bowsprit is now painted black. A few rigging lines need adding.
Will The Zone be with me today?
Then I need to add the ship's boats.

Re: Andrew's Minor Victory
The Zone was NOT with me today 
I have added a few lines around the bowsprit and between formast and midmast. Enthusiasm for more rigging has dropped, so I may just concentrate on finishing off the upper deck now.

The little jolly boats.
Actually, jolly little boats!
In for priming along with a few cannons.

Probably best not to eat any chicken satays at the workbench whilst you're waiting for the cannon and boats to dry!AndrewR wrote:

Re: Andrew's Minor Victory **Finished**
I added the boats and used an umber wash on the decks.
At this point I decided to quit whilst I was ahead. I will stick down the etched bits though.
