foxy Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share #333 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Thanks Bob mate. Well continuing with the T-Gallants. Mounted main and fore sails, just Mizzen T-Gallant to mount. Plus three bow sails. Then tidy up any mishaps. Some pictures so far. With folks to mount it will still be a while but getting there.

foxy Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share #335 Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Cheers Bob. Well my patience has been well and truly tested sometimes. Having finished the T-Gallants its now onto the jib sails. I had some frustration with the brass rings to hold fly and main jibs.Two pictures of the progress so far.There are still lots to do with kleats and such for the bunting lines.The sails will hold the shape better when these are applied.Many smaller things to do yet but the end is in site. PS. one question. Where the jib that goes on the stay's,(third one in) in which position is it fixed at the top.

foxy Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share #345 Posted July 31, 2016 Well progress has been slow with a wood ship taking over. But coming to the end with the davits now inplace thanks to Daniels replacement of lost etch parts.Namely the supports for the davits.Now made up it was to mount them.Also finished the rings for the jib sails.So its rigging the davits,placing the crew and making up the flag so its drooping.Then fix to the base and glass case.Not bad for over two years work.

Its nice to know that some appreciate the work we all do here to get a near representation of the real thing. But for the new art/etch that is being produced, this helps all of us to get near perfection. 'Keep it coming I say'.

Have now started again with the stern Davits, roped and one side(Starboard) will have a cutter hanging from the davit.Then its the boats now fitted.Jolly boat strapped.The Anchors was next with most done but the Davit and chain on the port side.

This is one of those models that could cause a guy to be a grumpy grandpa when the grandchildren come over to visit.

Was a bit of a pain tying the main anchor with a few choice words. So Port side should be a doddle('he say's') Frank clearway, GrantGoodale, Dubz and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
