I’ve started to build the bulwarks on the fore- and aftercastle. To fix the stanchions at correct angles I’ve built two casings to guide the structure and fixed these casings temporarily using the holes for the masts. I’ve cut the stanchions from pear strip and drilled the ends 0,7 mm (diameter of an ordinary pin). Using the guide casing I’ve marked the positions, drilled the deck, and glued the stanchions with CA.

Hey Don, I don't recommend to use the plans form MSB to build a model. There are lots of mistakes which I do not remember all of them right now, but some of them are really serious.

Thank you very much for the kind words my friends.

Little progress. Glued the anchor rope and the deck of the forecastle with white glue (PVA). For large and more detail photos see also: http://www.flickr.co...han_gokcay/sets (Best go into the set and choose slideshow)

Installed the deadeyes. I’ve used epoxy glue while glueing to the channels. Fixed the deadeyes in correct angle with rubber bands while the glue sets. For large and more detail photos see also: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilhan_gokcay/sets (Best go into the set and choose slideshow)

Thank you very much Pat.

Glued the cleats at the bulwarks, knight, pin rail and pump at the main deck. I do pay much attention to the sequence of these operations in order that nothing will be obstructed later.

Question about 17th century spritsail topmast
Ilhan Gokcay replied to Ilhan Gokcay's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Maybe there were too few examples carrying both. Regarding also the backstays of the sprit topmast, it would be difficult to set the jib sail. -
Started to assemble the parts. Glued the bitt and futtock riders to their places using PVA white glue. For large and more detail photos see also: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilhan_gokcay/sets (Best go into the set and choose slideshow)

Question about 17th century spritsail topmast

I'got an e-mail before the server change that there is a reply to the topic. But apparently it has been lost. I hope that the sender will reply again. -
Thank you very much Mark. Here are somo photos for the tool for bending the wood strips. Originally it is a table lamp body and already has a boring. I have attached a 60 Watt soldering iron in it. The point is that it is as hot as does not burn the wood but I can not touch it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilhan_gokcay/2020376640/in/set-72157602839388460 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilhan_gokcay/2019583387/in/set-72157602839388460/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilhan_gokcay/2019590619/in/set-72157602839388460/ Ilhan

Question about 17th century spritsail topmast
Ilhan Gokcay replied to Ilhan Gokcay's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Thanks for the responses. I don't remember exactly but I think I've read somewhere that the jib sails and staysails replaced the spritmats topsails. So that they are not used at the same time. I do also suspect that and want to be sure. -
Hello, My question is about the rigging of the 17th century. Is it wrong to say if there is a spritsail topmast then there is no staysail and jibsail. Both can not be at the same time. Appreciate any response. Ilhan

Hi Ron, you're welcome. I like your model and build log very much. I'm glad that you repost the old log. And here I resume to save the new photos. Ilhan

Hi Pat, thanks. I like MSW. I've uploaded also my two old build logs. I hope to see MSW as it was before. Ilhan

Blackened the brass parts and assembled the rudder.
-
Finished the eyebolts and chain plates. The main links of the chain plates are chain. For all the joining I used silver soldering. At this stage, I left the chain plates slightly spaced as I will put the deadeyes later after blackening.
-
Finished the knights and their blocks from pear strip. And belaying pins from 1,5mm dowel.
-
For the triangular deadeyes, I have modified circular deadeyes in several stages as seen on the photos. These are used at mizen mast and foremast.
