    You certainly did put, but just add 4 more, so I'll be safe for my next Vanguard Model kit 😁

    Build days 171-172: 4 hrs / Total 359 hours As of today, Mizzen and Main backstays are complete. I have run out of 3mm deadeyes just 4 pieces to go as well as 0.75mm black thread. I don't remember wasting so many 3mm deadeyes, but apparently the kit did barely contain any surplus. Now I'll need to head to the local hobby store to buy a small box of them, in order to continue with the Fore backstays . Photo 894: Not much detail one can see from a distance however I still add here a photo for evidence.

    I guess it's probably they haven't updated the Euro pricelist for a while. Turkish Lira devaluated significantly against the foreign currency in the recent years. For those considering them from outside Turkey, I'd recommend ordering them from known online hobby shops or global vendors such as Amazon etc.

    They have a webpage at: https://www.tersanemodel.com.tr I had met the owner, Mr. Kudret Altinkeser, many years back. A professional dedicated his life to ship model design and manufacturing. My build log of its Bosphorus Sandal kit is here:

      Hi,

      Unfortunately I don't have it anymore. I must have thrown the papers away long time ago.

      I wish I could help.

      Regards

    Build day 170: 2 hrs / Total 355 hours Main breast backstays. Photo 893: I realized I had forgotten to insert the pins while installing the deadeyes. It was a bit tricky to do now (I was even using hand drill to widen the holes), but I managed. Photo 894: Preparing the blocks. Photo 895: Main breast backstays in place. Photo showing starboard side.

    Build day 169: 2 hrs / Total 353 hours Once again, a long break. Today I made the Mizzen Back Stays. No photos to share.

    Build day 168: 1,5 hrs / Total 351 hours Photo 892: Main mast crowsfeet is complete (more conveniently than the earlier ones thanks to Glenn's note above). Moving to next step, the backstays. This brings us the 907th step in the construction manual. This is the progress on my rigging. Green=complete, Yellow=current:

    Starting from outer end felt more convenient at first glance and that's how I did, never thought of the other way :). But now when I think of it, starting from inside and moving outwards will make easier to do the finishing knot. I will try your way with the Main Mast crowsfeet

    Build day 167: 1 hr / Total 349,5 hours Today I continued with the Foremast Crowsfeet. This time I wanted to take the photos of each step and share the entire process. I will be happy if it serves as a guide to those who build similar. Except for the block structure on the stay, the structure uses a single thread. I used a mirror stick to see the whole better when inserting the thread from under. It helped a lot. Here are the photos: Photos 872-891: View from under:

    Build day 166: 1,5 hrs / Total 339,5 hours Crowsfeet. I have never rigged a crowsfeet until now. It took me some time to gather my courage. I start with the one on the Mizzen mast. The photos show the progress. Overall I am happy with the result. Photos 870-872:

    Having recovered my hand surgery (nothing too serious), now it is time to resume my project. It has been a while and I have realised I had really missed it.

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.
