Progress as of October 28, 2008

I have the entire boat deck done as well as the four funnels and the rigging that goes with them. I have not yet done the touch up on the paint. That will be the last step.

Bending the brass rails has proven much more difficult than I anticipated. The brass is so soft and bends so easily, it is hard to get mounted straight.

I've passed the halfway point now. I still have to finish the forecstle deck, construct, paint, and detail the entire poop deck, detail and place the masts, construct individual lifeboat davits, mount the lifeboats on the tiny, little davits, then do all of the rigging. Still have a long way to go!
