Iv’e decided to stop work on the Great Republic and finish the Glory of the Seas. She is far from finished and needs my attention…
I’ll begin finishing the rat lines.

I spent some time last night finishing up the ratlines on the Glory of the Seas.
Now it’s onto the backstays.

I posted these images today 4/5/17…not march 27.

Very impressed with your clipper ship model, which displays professional workmanship.
Happy modeling Crackers [Y][Y]
I spent several hours working on the mizzen and main mast backstays.

I have a question ;
What happened to the pictures ? All I see is a little black square with an X in it . Hmmm? T.B.
Gary,
I see the pictures just fine.
I reopened the files and reposted them. I can see them both.
Some earlier files were hosted by another site and are no longer available. but those are some of the earliest images…but I did attempt to replace some of them to keep the log fluid.
Thanks for the input.
Rob
Rob,
Nice to see an update, I have been enjoying your threads and all the research you do on your subjects.
Scott
Thanks Scott for your fine comment. Many of these clippers had varried histories and many captains…who took it upon themselves to make cosmetic and structural changes.
Researching the time pariod and changes at the time that you want to model your ship can be daunting…especially if you want to be as accurate as you can.
Again thanks for your comments.
Rob
