I like the looks of your treenails. So often they are far too pronounced taking away from the rest of the model. Great Job!

Your rigging is very impressive. You are a very brave man with that dremel, good call on the bumpkins. Nice work

donrobinson got a reaction from captgino in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Hello all, first up Thanks for all your visits, likes and gracious comments. Trabakul now has a new home on the dining room table as rigging has started and there is less chance of her getting hurt and even a less of a chance of me using the table to entertain.
Bowsprit was first, this the little fitting made to hold it in place
The little supports on either side and a strap with rings( I used eyebolts)
Chain installed
Lower shrouds completed
Next up is the upper shrouds and then ratlines.
Enjoy and Take care

Thanks Dave. My arms are getting a workout now with the upper shrouds and tieing them off, good part is they don't have ratlines!

Had my mill and lathe for two years before I bought the DRO this year, would not be without it. I would highly suggest to buying it.

Lawrence: Thanks, I was a little apprehensive about installing them as, unlike you, I don't have a wonderful Admiral who could sew them. The ones in the kit are almost completely done so I think I can get away with using some of that iron on sewing tape. At least that's the plan
Darrell: Thanks, great of you to stop by

And finally the last of my updates, this first one is showing block and bracket installed for bowsprit
This one is showing a piece I missed on the plans, rather important as it supports the rudder
All the masts (full length is not in picture), bowsprit and spars are made.Some of the rigging is complete, the lower spars have a bit of a complicated rigging with a traveller and also a mouse of sorts
A close up of the aft lower spar showing the rigging
Masts are just temporally put together for picture
That's about it for this update, all plans for being outside are on hold as we are getting snow today so I'm hoping to have a productive day in shipyard, after laundry and dishes are done
You all Have a good day and Thanks so much for stopping in

Nothing too exciting here, I just thought I would show how I seize a block to a hook.

Thanks Dave. I was hoping you would say that, as that is what I use also and have had no problems yet.

The chain plates look good Dave. Do you use silver solder?
