They are so small.... and they look really nice in place.  Are you going to leave them natural color or are you going to stain/paint them?

Thank you Pat and Nils and thanks for all the likes too.

Michael I will leave them natural.

I did apply one coat of wipe on poly to seal them though.

Hi all,

 

I've completed the Bowsprit Guys. The thimbles are made from Albion Alloys thin walled brass tubing, 1.6mm.

 

The guys are .025" rope served with #100 thread.

As you can tell photography is not my strong suit. Need to work on it more!

 

Next up is setting the mast and hanging the boom and gaff.

Photography may not be your strong suit but you can sure build a ship model. Actually your photography isn't too bad either.

The heart is happiest when the head and the hands work together.

Thank you Mike, Chuck and alde and all the likes.

 

With the pictures I just take them on whatever surface the model may be at.

I don't set up a dedicated area to take them. Maybe someday I will. :)

Hi All,

 

Bit of a catch up here. I've set the mast and have rigged the gaff and boom.

 

For the parrel I too used left over beads I had on hand. Mine were black though.

Thanks Ben.

 

It's been awhile since I've rigged something so it's taking a bit of time to get back in the swing of it!

I've installed the Burton Pendants. They are served their entire length with a single block seized on the end.

 

IMG_2484.thumb.JPG.dbe27b465fe2afc1ec5ba24397d74a9d.JPG

 

With the shrouds the forward shroud is served its entire length.  The rest of the shrouds only have the portion around the mast head served down to just below the cheeks.  The serving was all done on the Syren  "Serv-o-matic".

 

 

The deadeyes were turned in and light brown rope was used for the lanyard. As recommended the lanyards were just tied off so they can be re-tensioned later if needed.

Rusty, in looking back at your photos, I just noticed that you had the shrouds wrapped around the the top mast, rather than the head of the lower mast. Sorry, but I don't believe that can be right.

Thanks Ben,

 

Hey Bob don't be sorry! That would have been a really big oops to put it mildly.

I look and look at the plans and it never sunk in. I was just getting ready to add the backstay

so your timing was perfect. Thanks!!!!!
