Progress has been made on the masts, shrouds, rat tails, etc.
This required a lot of time and patience, involving the tying over 1000 clove hitches.
Now in the process of getting to know the ropes.
Working off the drawing is proving a challenge, having limited knowledge of ships rigging.
That said things are falling into place.
Please note I have found it difficult to get decent photographs due to the scale of the boat.

Since my last post, I have spent hours and hours working on the rigging with reference to the drawings.
I have great admiration to the ship builders of that time. How these ship rigging is put together must have required a lot of knowledge and design skills. All the different sizes of ropes, blocks and understanding how to control the stresses in the rigging.

This model kit was in a job lot bought on eBay. Lots of bits were missing but there was a good set of plans.
It turns out this is a very rare kit of the 1940s.
I really very please how it has turned out.
I hope you all enjoyed the build.
