donrobinson got a reaction from canoe21 in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
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

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!

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

Thanks so much Elijah for all the likes and your great comment. I have decided to do the sails, they are supplied pretty much all sewn so I'm hoping not to have too many problems with them.

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?

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
