daddytotwo Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share #31 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I have all the cannon Glued and rigged to the gun deck. I didn’t like the little “nubs” on the walls to attach the breaching rope, so I glued eyebolts to them. They won’t be seen, but I know they are more secure this way. I also added extra rigging to the guns that will be visible. I didn’t have room to use hooks and blocks, so I just tied them off and added some coils.

daddytotwo Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share #32 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) After some touch up and camouflaging the LEDs and Wiring, I got the top deck and stern glued in.

daddytotwo Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share #33 Posted April 17, 2019 The stern was really a pain in the *** to get aligned and glued. After some shaping, putty, and sanding I got it all painted. Now it’s time to work on the top deck. The other times I tried this kit, the Pinrails in the bulkheads and the monkey rails were always breaking and screwing up my rigging, so I decided to modify them and add some after market Belaying Pins.

daddytotwo Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share #34 Posted April 17, 2019 Next I got the guns glued to the top deck. I have the Breaching ripe o. On side, and am starting to do the gun rigging.

daddytotwo Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share #35 Posted April 17, 2019 I spent about 2 1/2 hours doing the back rigging in one gun. I’m sure I will start to get faster at it once I do a few more.

Ozark Posted October 13, 2019 Share #36 Posted October 13, 2019 Hello Daddytotwo Your ship looking awesome. I'm glad you are using all the after market stuff. I see you got the scale decks, wood deck. How did you like it, was there any issues with the installation of it. from what I saw, It looks like it went ok. I also om interested in getting the dead eye kit. How is the quality on them? Are the holes drilled correctly? Keep up the awesome work, Ozark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
