At this point it might be nice if Chris Watton would weigh in. -

Help with depicting extra line on bitts
TBlack replied to usedtosail's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
OK, Tom, here's more information. This time from Delf's log of Speedy. The following pictures are from his log, page 23 You can see that he has mounted coils on the bitt at the foremast and coils on the hatch at the main. Maybe that's the way to go? Tom -

Gregory, They are bowlines, sheets and clews. Here is the plan view: Given this information, maybe Lester's solution is the best one -
Help with depicting extra line on bitts

Tom, So far there doesn’t seem to be an answer to the issue. I’m facing the same problem with my Sophie build which is an alteration of Speedy. Hope someone comes up with an answer. Tom -

Now I've served and rigged the lower main shrouds which will be all the progress for a while, as we are away for a week:

Isn’t it water soluble? At the very least you should be able to sand it off.

I've tried, desperately, to include pictures of my progress. Not going to happen! Nevertheless, you'll have to take my word for it that I've installed the Jeer block/tye assembly, the truss pendants, futtock staves, catharpins, and finally the fore stays.. I've got a picture or two; they're just not very good, for what it's worth, here they are. Anyway, I'm on to installing the shrouds for the main mast.

Greetings from a clueless Patrick O'Brian fan
TBlack replied to Galkar's topic in New member Introductions
Galkar, Your interest in the HM Sophie hits a soft spot for me. I, too, am a fan of the O'Brian books, and, as it turns out, my youngest daughter is Sophie. So there was nothing for it but to build a model of the HM Sophie. As you have discerned, a good starting point is with the Speedy from Chris Watton (I have a very early version; you should benefit from the up-dates). Check out my log (HMS Sophie). The interesting part is the back end that has to be bulked up to accommodate a quarter deck and captains cabin. Otherwise, the build is pretty straightforward according to the kit instructions. Tom -
,I should have mentioned that, too. Good eye/hand coordination!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
