I'm some impressed. Great job!
So did mine! But enough boat talk...
Spring has sprung. So have you been on the bikes yet this season? I saw several out about a week ago when Ohio got hit with temps into the upper 60's. But then again, we got ran over by storms and tornadoes last night (three killed) just North of where we live. Spring. A blessing and time to watch the weather.

This has become a very nice little ship Kurt, congratulations for the completion of it
Are we talking bicycles or motorcycles now? Not that I mind you hijacking my thread.
I'm eager to get out on the motorcycle and ride until the wheels fall off! I'm also window shopping for and e-bike as a future purchase. Looking at the BoomBike Zeegr S1 or the Philodo H8 because I want some off road performance wthout the high price.Definitely talking motorcycles!Are we talking bicycles or motorcycles now?

Unfortunately, I missed out on this whole build. It was quicker than your last one, Kurt.
Glad the build log could help. Best of luck with your build!
I do not have plans for sails on Halcon. My model was completed without sails. If I were to make sails, I would measure the yardarms and the distance between the yardarms and create plans.
Nice job Kurt. It inspired me to build "the envelope" up in my closet! Cheers, Magic Mike
Just don't expect too much in the way of accuracy for this kit, and there are NO rigging instructions, so use Lennarth Petersson's book and it'll turn out okay. You'll need the attached plans below I got from an article on Baltimore Clipper rigging on MSW Forum too. Disregard installation of that large cannon in the center of the deck. That's a error, and was probably meant to be a mortar, not a carriaged gun. Show us what you do with this kit!

Kurt, Did your kit come with Channels?
No. There are a few missing parts you have to make from scratch, and you have to add all the blocks, rigging thread, and cannon barrels.

The final touch . . . made from printed paper.
And a printed paper label glued to wood and attached to the base.

Great looking kit with lots of work in a small space.
