foxy got a reaction from etubino in HMS Victory by foxy - Heller - 1/100 - PLASTIC - with Dafi's etch & resin set
Sorry for the delay in posting pictures, had a spot of time in hospital.
So its back to the Victory again.
With a picture of the mouse and eye for the main stays.
Was very small to make, but I think it came out all right.
Next its the sails in progress with 8 more to make.
Still to add the tassle's and blocks.
More to come soon me thinks.
Frank.

Well after a few hours work the foremast shrouds are done.
Plus the main and fore stays/preventer.
Plus some more etch arrived today and a surprise from Daniel, most welcome it was too.
I am sure you will recognise these two navel chaps.

Thanks Keith mate. Yep had a very good time and plenty of beer(bier)
Have now started the foremast shrouds.
For the shroud ropes I am using Syren black and brown .25(.63mm), and the seizing also.
I am using the Heller deadeyes,but the wood ones with grooves would be easier, you can turn to the correct way up.
With the Heller ones this is not so easy.
First I sand off the outer rim of the deadeye and for the top ones you have to make sure there the right way up and secure with CA, this takes a little longer.
As all here know its P&S for the ropes.
The seized DE shows a gap, but this is covered by the seized rope around the top.
For the smaller DEs I use a thinner rope, this seems to work ok.

Well its on to more of the rigging.
With the bowsprit up and running, plus more later to add.
The shrouds a restarted with P&S main masts done, except for the ratlines, these will be put on later in the build.
As a first attempt I am well pleased.
Then its the cloth sails.
Just tie ons/loops and blocks to finish this one.
Thanks to a very good friend for making these with her sawing machine.

Cheers Keith.
Having lots planed it should be a great holiday.
Will soon be on shore leave so these be the last pictures till about twelve days time.
This afternoon I started on the safety nets For'd.
After three or was it four attempts i managed to get at least one correct.
The other might need replacing.
Having started the Bowsprit, this is as far as I have got.

Cheers for now.

Thanks Daniel and David.
Well before i go on my well earned leave, some more progress.
Its to the bowsprit i am now concentrating on.
Some blocks from Scale warships resin heart blocks added.
Then looked at the Boomkin, the Heller one is very flimsy, so looked at wood first, then found some plastic rod and brass rod to give it strength.
This I glued into the tube and then to the lathe I went to taper it.
In the picture the bottom one is the new, also at the top is some brass rod and Dafis etched parts for the safety net here in the bow.
Push fitted to Dafis Resin Knights head.
Plus a couple of pictures of the overall state of build in the bow.

Horatio: So my dear Hardy, this is the place I ought to fall?
Thomas Mastermann: Yes Sir, we thought that a brass plate would help you to identify the right spot.
Horatio: Oh, that is so kind of you all.
Thomas Mastermann: Your humble servant.
Horatio: Oh my Hardy!

I spent a few more hours on the Vic today. As you can see all the strings hanging from the stay sails, which the rear ones still ned to be ran to their belaying points. It can get a bit confusing with all those lines laying around, but I found it easier to attach all the lines first then start belaying them off one at a time.

Well having drilled out the holes yesterday for the Hammock Irons it was to that I applied this morning.
Shortened the HN for the centre by two.
Added the two HN to the forecastle end.
Next it was a trial fit of the boats.
One other will be hanging from a davit later.
Then its a touch up of paint for the Irons and railing.
The banisters will be painted wood and netting added.
After all the netting is in place,(will do the same as the centre).
Its to the Bowsprit I be going.
