I did not add the DIY ropes at the end of the manual anymore. I’m really not in the mood to be doing that today don’t know why exactly.
And hey, it is going to sail. It’s done
It was a very fun kit to build. Thank you again @Liset for the kind gift.
And again for reference: if you’re looking for tips to build this one. Look up the posts of @TheToday and @Nita_Davis . They were of great help for me.
So let’s go sailing now to the horizon and beyond.
I struggled a bit though. I felt like I needed an extra hand to get them right and tight. But I managed to get it done by first attaching the loose end to the mast, sling the rope where it had to go and only then pulling it as tight as possible.
It looks great completed! I totally agree with you about the strings though. I’m dreading doing the strings on the little ship I’m going to build soon.
