    Because you can't stand the heat in the trailer (38 degrees)

    I built this lifting device.

    Hello

    And a little further again.

    Now I have everything ready on the port side of the foredeck.

    In the last 1.5 hours I have laid 4 ropes of the rigging.

    It is not so easy to see now.

    Hello Flaxbyback
    Thanks for your feedback. At the moment I can manage a bit more because I'm off sick this week. I have a stiff neck but I'll be back at work next week. It's not so easy to follow the rigging on the plan, so it takes me a while to understand it. But somehow I get the hang of it and the second rope of the Hapune is also finished. It works. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Things are slowly moving forward.

    Today I laid the first rope from the Hapune over the main mast to the winch.

    I agree, it's definitely worth it. I didn't give up on my deep-sea tug either and I'm very happy about it today. And it doesn't have to be perfect, just authentic.

    Here are before and after pictures of my "OCEANIC"

    Great ship. Remove the dust with a damp brush or a used pot sponge. In any case, there is a real gem under the dust. The work will be worth it.๐Ÿ‘

    Is that a Mountfleet Models model? It looks an awful lot like my Britannia.

    Great pictures, great ships. Even a liquid gas tanker, cool. Am I seeing this correctly, you have a small crane for launching the ships? Do you have a picture of it?

    Hello
    Didn't have much time this week.

    But now I've finished both shrouds.

    I dipped the shrouds in stain so they're a bit darker, now they just need to dry and then they can go where they belong.

    Hello Alessandro
    Thanks for the flowers. I saw the template on YouTube and thought it should work. It's a bit fiddly to thread the steps into the rope but it works. I imagine steps made of rope would be even more complicated. I take my hat off to you.

    Hello
    I started with the shrouds today.

    First I drew a template on strong cardboard and then tried to tie a knot to the step, but that didn't work. After a good hour and lots of cursing, I did it as it says in the description.
    Poked through the rope and inserted the step, then fixed it with superglue.

    The first step doesn't quite match the drawing, but the ropes are weighted down at one end with 0.5 kg weights and when they are no longer there, it looks different.

    The ends of the step will of course be shortened later
