LOL...holdout from the old days, I suppose...it gets buzzed every month or so (my hair grows way too fast) to keep it in line.
 Perhaps I could take up speed swimming or something.

     Yeah, the instructions suck...for those of you that decide to build this kit, let me know...a very kind soul on fsm sent me some large rigging plans that are much, much better than the kit plans !

Being a massive fan of Charles, I will take that as a compliment, no doubt the way it was intended.   ^_^

  Running rigging is going up painfully slow...but it is coming together!

Oh man Greg that is a work of art! I always look forward to more pics of your work. I also liked that pic of you with the instructions. I've had a similar look trying to suss out the ones in these cheapo-foreign off-brand kits I pick up.

P.S. Thanks for the kind words on my rigging of the 109 biplane. Coming from you sir that was high praise indeed.

She's BEAUTIFUL Greg!

Now let's have a few choruses of Frigging in the Rigging!  :P

Greg, really nice project and write up. I would like to do a pirate ship but it still looks a bit intimidating, I am going to add it to my list of kits to pick up in the future though :)
