Hi all just a few more pics to show what im at - been working on upper deck furnishings,finishing launch and cannon blocks. Lower deck chain pumps built from scratch but have housed this on mahogany strips as fiddley.  also on with masts and mast heads and bowsprit one question - how do you fit the rings to the top of the cannons to take the thick restraining rope ca glue dosent seem to work keep falling off  Ant antswain attached the following image(s): Current builds :

Hi Ant, Coming on well and a good idea on how to stop the cannon rigging ending up like a birds nest. Keep it coming Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Ant, fully rigging the cannons is a very fiddly process but I believe it is very much worth the effort as can be seen with yours.... Lovely work and very nicely done.... Regards Alan
