WOODEN TWO-MASTED SAILING SHIP

It is finally finished. The ghost ship sails away. All the wood work and sail work and rigging and even the forgotten archor are all done.

As I mentioned previously, there were no plans/instructions, and therefore all mast and boom and yard measurements are made up to look proportionately correct first against the hull, and then against the masts and remaining space.

The modeller thinks about sailing away (with a parrot).

WOODEN SAILING SHIP NOW WITH ALL SAILS

This is a progress report on the two-masted sailing ship which was on a two week break in the shipyard as I had far more pressing things to do, and rigging sails scares me.

As I mentioned previously, there were no plans/instructions, and therefore all mast and boom and yard measurements are made up to look proportionately correct first against the hull, and then against the masts and remaining space.

As of today all the sails are in place. I intend to spray paint a very light coat of sepia on the masts/yards/booms/sails as a final colour treatment. I am also considering adding more ratlines using string which has been hardened with CA glue. This is still work-in-progress.
