Terrific looking bridge. I am impressed with your signal-flag line work. Lots of good camera angles as well. We couldn't get a better view if we were there in person.

All I can say is "wow!" Jim. That's fantastic.
Nice rigging work. Those signal flag lines look like they're right out of an old black and white photo book.

Sorry for the delay there... I finished the mast last night around 12:30. It became top heavy towards the end and fell off onto the floor after I had everything on. Luckily, it didn't do much damage and it's on the ship now. I took some pics to post and then promptly fell asleep before posting them! I'll get them uploaded after work tonight. That mast was a pain in the butt but I'm overall pleased with the final results.
Then it's time for boats and guns :D

Thanks for all of your compliments, this thing is taking a lot more time and energy than I thought it would and they really help
Here are the pictures from last night. I'm getting to the point where I really want to get this ship outside and get some sunlight and sky shots. The masts are again made from peeled lollipop sticks. It's so much easier and cleaner than using the thick kit parts. I ended up peeling the flag to get it thinner so I could bend it around. The signal lines on both masts ended up looking like there was a wind from the port side (didn't try and do that), so I figured I could make it look intententional by putting the flag in the proper position. Well, I think I'll go out of number sequence now and build the barge, or whatever that boat is called, so I can get the boom mounted on this mast. Then, we go for the guns!

Hi Jim,
Another excellent job on the aft mast, have to remember that trick with the flag, I was wondering what I was going to do with the thick cardboard rendition from the kit. Your rigging is just down right amazing and the rest of it matches up to make a real beauty of a model. Looking forward to the next update. Jay Massey treadhead1952 Las Vegas, NV |

Terrific work on that mast. And lots of images! You outgun everyone for quantity of images. Sounds like you are itching to get to the guns. I'm looking forward to it.
