1/96 scale USS Constitution build.

[Tim A.]

Unbelieveable! I am overwhelmed!

Thanks Duke. It's a struggle...lol.

The Fore Topgallant yard ready to install after I trim the gasket ropes on the furled sail.

 

[moon puppy]

I like this look much more than unfurled.

 

[Tim A.]

I like this look much more than unfurled.

Putting full sails on this ship would be frustrating for me. I'm like you though, I like the furled look better anyway.

Ignoring breeze and tide until she is properly prepared to fly once again.
Placid, yet yearning for wind and wave.
Tugging at her hawsers until the will of Man lets slip the Lady for her sole purpose.
Serve the cause of American Liberty with devastation and defeat to all that oppose such upon the high seas.

Thanks Tim! Your grand Lady inspires me. I could keep still no longer.

Thanks, she's a hand full. At this point I'm not sure whether I'm enjoying spending time with her, or just determined to muck through and stick with it to the bitter's end!...see what I did there?...lol.

You are a very humorous Man! To watch this vessel develop, It appears to be a labor of love.

I don't what happened with that last reply. But, your right, I can't get enough of building.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Man, I am overwhelmed! I could do this, but it would never look nearly as great as this!

I've decided to do the fore-lower yard before the fore top yard. I might brail up the topsail which means the sail may drape below the fighting top and make the lower hard to rig. Working on the Jeer, clew and sheet blocks on

the lower yard.

 

[Rhino]

For those of you less nautically versed, I shall translate:

Hmm.

No I won't.

 

[moon puppy]

I caught Yard!

 

[Tim A.]

I caught Yard!

I kind of know what the different ropes do. However, I wouldn't know which one to work when unless the captain slapped me up side the head, and told me to "PULL THAT ROPE DUMMY!"

 

[Tim A.]

The fore lower yard is on. It was a fiddley process...
