Hi - a little update. Mizzen lower ratlines done.  Fore & main lower ratlines half done(seems to take forever).  I am using just regular sewing thread for them,a bit fiddly to work with,though.     Hard to get them to "hang"just right.  The thread is a little fuzzy,but not noticeable at normal viewing distance.  I am coating them with diluted white glue,which lays down a lot of the fuzz.  I didn`t want them too white,so a medium brown thread was used.

Update - all lower shrouds done:Whew: As I continue with the topmast shroud ratlines,I am wondering if the topgallant shrouds should have ratlines.  The plans show ratlines on the topgallant shrouds,but almost every ship I`ve seen do not have ratlines on the topgallant shrouds.  Any opinions are welcome!

Thanks Frank - I am leaning toward not ratting the topgallant shrouds.  If you look closely,there are some shiny areas on the shroud ropes(crappy kit rope)so I am dulling down the shrouds with diluted white glue along with trying to form the ratlines a little smoother - a little difficult with this fuzzy thread.  My next ship will get Syren rope!

Great job so far Mark. These 3 masted ships with all their rigging are not for the faint of heart. The nice thing about this stage of the build is that it's easy to see some progress each day. But whatever you do, don't try to envision the whole stage...

Thanks Peter & dragzz:). If I remember right, this is the 18th 3 master I`ve done - all of them different,most probably incorrectly,due to a lack of knowledge & poor plans.  I wish this forum was around back when I did most of them.

Eighteen! Wow, that's incredible. I hope you don't run out of models you want to build. Your build logs are great learning tools for the rest of us.

Mark,

 

As Peter just said - your logs are indeed great to follow. So 18 builds !! - hmmm, I'm only my third and already the Admiral is asking me where

I plan on putting my current small build - as there is certainly no more space in our home haha

 

Cheers,

 

Michael

Frank - I occasionally put the reverse attachment on my vacuum & blow them clean.  I don`t have any pets,so no worries there.

 

O.C. - yes, it is a real forest of masts & yards.

 

There are 12 ships on that table,3 more in my living room,& 1 more in one of my bedrooms!  I have given a few away & it looks like I need to get rid of a few more:D.  I`ve been thinking of giving some of the older,not-so-nice ones a proper funeral after stripping off some of the reusable fittings.

 

If you are wondering about the Admiral,there is none.  I have been single since 1980,so what better to occupy my time!
