augie Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share #729 Posted May 23, 2013 OK, I'm BACK!!!!!!!! The relatives have headed back East with Syren none the worse for wear. She did manage to survive a Tsunami started by an errant can of Coke. Whew But you folks have been having so much fun in my absence that I feel I must contribute something --- even a minor update. So here are the mainmast lower yard buntlines and falls. Yes, they're hard to see. I know I promised an overview shot but I want to finish the buntlines on the foremast first and set the next yards. And tomorrow I simply MUST go catch some fish But it's great to be back tying knots and herding the spiders ! popeye the sailor, fatih79, Dubz and 7 others 10 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff could cause serious damage if it splashed in your finishes. John PS.

augie Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #745 Posted May 26, 2013 With Frank getting back on his feet and Sjors turning his attention to the Spanish fleet, I thought it would be a good time for a small update with some long promised photos. The main and fore lower yards have been completed with the exception of the braces and sheets as I would surely entangle myself if those were in place. The spaghetti all over the deck are those ropes ready to be deployed later. The main and fore topsail yards have been pinned in place and are ready to be rigged. We'll set the rigging spiders loose after celebrating the Memorial Day holiday here in the US. I gotta tell ya that this rigging is a slow process but I haven't had so much fun since........planking......or was it coppering? popeye the sailor, mtaylor, newbuilder101 and 15 others 18 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
