Amazing. That's the model not Dave's loss of words.

Interesting to see the two models side by side showing some of the differences you mentioned.


Haddock

Progress is slow but steady, bit like me!

First shot is the foremast fitted with some rigging.
Next is just a better view of the rigging.
Then we have the mainmast built and rigged.
Fourth shot is a thing on purpose to assist in getting masts to be set up plumb in both axes.
Finally, both masts fitted and another thing on purpose to help with the rigging. There are twenty individual pieces of standing rigging
and forty four pieces of running rigging, mainly signal haliyards, all are secured by passing through holes in the deck.
Hopefully, this should make it easier.
There's another eight miscellaneous pieces.
This could take a while.

All hail the ship rigging master. Great work Tony.

Looks like the thing on purpose for rigging works. Foremast part rigged, signal haliyards yet to do.

The pictures probably speak for themselves.

All ship shape and Bristol fashion. Lots of rigging there.

Excellent attention to detail, and a bloomin' steady hand.
Nice, very nice.
