Day 31 to 34 - 16 Works
OK, time for all the riggings!! ^^
So far, I've done the shrouds and stays but not the back stays yet. I didn't take many photos during the progress, so I'll be showing only the results.
I worked on them every night after dinner, and each pair of shroud took me around an hour to finish. Total of 10 pairs.

Then, I continued on the stays.

I was planning to make a bull's eye block myself for the mizzen stay because the kit isn't providing any. But since I've 2 deadeyes left, I will use them instead. :) I wonder in a real ship a deadeye is used for mizzen stay? Because what I've seen from most of the pictures, a bull's eye is always used.
Anyway, since it gives better detail then it's OK for me. :D

| Took Me Sometimes |
Tying the deadeye on the main mast with all the deck fittings on really took me sometimes. >:(
Anyway, here's the result!

I accidentally knocked my flagpole off when I was doing the stays =.=" Anyway, just need a little work to glue them back.
Finally, just this morning I've made more lanterns for my ship. I put one in between the hatches..

and 2 will be set on the crow nests.

Seriously, the smaller lantern looks a bit weird to me in this picture.. lol! I think I'll change it upside down like the bigger one, just to make them look standardized. :)
