brilliant link, I am going to give this kit a go for my next adventure and the detailed photos will be a superb asset.

Telp reacted to EJ_L in Fitting the yards to the masts
Yards are secured with parrel beads that attach to the yard, wrap around the mast and connect to the yard again. Depending upon the ship, era and yard defines how these are actually rigged. Look up "parrel beads" in the search bar and you will see many builds with them.
If you are looking for a "dummy" attachment to hold the yard in place while you rig, then I recommend drilling a small hole in both the mast and yard and inserting a tiny pin, wood or metal doesn't matter, then gluing them together. This will help add strength and hopefully help to prevent accidental knock off.

Telp got a reaction from mtaylor in Fitting the yards to the masts
Hi all
I tried searching for an answer but I cannot see anything. Can anyone give me any tips on securing yards onto the masts, I have seen them wrapped by rope, or maybe by using pins, but would welcome any good tips. I am dressing the yards and masts prior to fitting to the ship which hopefully will make the task easier as I am also placing things like blocks etc.
Many thanks

Telp reacted to S.Coleman in How to proceed with masts etc.
I tried building masts and spars on the ship but turns out its 100 times easier to get as much done as possible before fitting to the ship. I build up everything for the masts, Then install them on the ship. Then I get everything done on the spars then attach them to the masts. Best of luck.

Hi all
I am not sure if this goes into my log build or here, but I will take a chance.
I will soon be looking at starting on the masts on my HM Brig Supply, I am after some advice please as to should I place the masts at the start or build the mast furnishings and yard arms then fit the masts. I realise that some rigging has to be completed on the yard arms as such so I was checking how others proceed at this same point, Would welcome any feedback from supply builders who may have info to offer on a good way to work.
Many thanks

Telp got a reaction from Beef Wellington in HM Brig Supply by Telp - Caldercraft - 1:64
The build has been progressing at a steady pace, I am working now from the bow to the stern, all decking finished as I used cotton as caulking, I would have preferred maybe thinner cotton but once I got going I thought it best to carry on.
I laid the whale planks slightly too high so the dead eyes and strops will need some adjusting when I finally fit them. I decided to stick with just a varnished hull and used a light wood dye on the deck finished with Danish oil then buffed off. I am pleased so far as I made some stupid mistakes at the start and now rectifying those issues. I now have two weeks off work and a week in the Canary Islands so the ship will be asleep for a week or so. Updates again soon.
Thanks all

Thanks mark, after looking at a few other builds I think I will try the off route.

Terry,
It will boil down to what works for you. Many of us find it's easier to work the masts and yards off ship. Get as much done as possible and then step. Others go the other way and build the masting and yards up in place. I personally find getting as much done off ship works best for me.

Ok, here are a few now pics of where I am, the lady is in the cradle with a cloth to protect the finish as much as possible, those of you in the know will see some issues with the build and I have done my best to work around them. I have learned a lot from this build and as I move on I am becoming more competent with what I am capable of.
Any ways, I will now update more as I move on and I seriously will be seeking help once the rigging starts.
Thanks all.

Hi all, been a while due to a number of personal issues which needed my attention, so apologies for not updating a lot more. I am back into the swing of things now, the attached pic is a few weeks old, I am now on the final deck fit of the quarter deck and lots of additions have been done now.
I am keeping the hull in varnish as I like the look, I have found some of the wood in this build pretty dire to be honest but I have soldiered on and she is getting there now. I am going to take a few updated pics later but I wanted to just say I am alive and my build is now back to reality. Thanks all.

After a few attempts to put a set of self made Windows at the stern, I finally went for some Windows I got cheap off the net, now painted and glazed, I just need to do a few fine cuts and sanding tasks to make them look a bit tidier. Thank heavens for dolls houses :-)
