From sticks to very complex sticks. The yards are now complete, with over 107 stropped blocks by back is a little sore.

The last one! The cross jack yard. The little ring on the block is for the clew line.

The Gaff. I did the entire thing from scratch as you can see the AL Yoke would have never worked. 5 to go.

As I move on with the yards, the blocks are getting smaller, and essentially I'm not very good at stropping blocks. I had a bit of an idea how to do it better. I got a bit of offcut dowel that would suit the radius that I needed. I cut a notch in it. I then hand served about a foot of .25mm cord and wrapped it around, held with a small pair of self closing tweezers, tied it off 3 times (the block is 3.5mm so fiddly). Using a bit of brass wire to hold the block I affixed the served ring with some CA, then tied off the block with cord and a small touch of CA. It worked!

The Parkin book is a dual volume with the endeavours log and a book of poster side prints. No where near as detailed as the AOTS.

RGL reacted to foxy in HMS Victory by foxy - Heller - 1/100 - PLASTIC - with Dafi's etch & resin set
Hi.
New here. I see that any medium of ship can be shown here as a build.
Mine will be from the Heller Kit, but with Dafi's etch sets.
Will also scratch build most of the deck detail from the lower deck to the poop deck.
Materials used will be the plastic, PE and resin.
Some of the etch I will be using.
Will be altering the hull steps to the later part of Victory's career.
Also using evergreen and syrin rope, blocks and other items.
Hope you find this Interesting.

Main and Fore yards complete. I have not yet attched the tackle as I will use two of them to be lowering a ship's boat and the other will be slung with the tricing lines to the stays. These are hopefully the most difficult of the lot with so many blocks to attach. Only 9 to go!
