Or; as an alternative, there is one plank called thick stuff just above the Wales, and you can do three anchor stock below. I still regret not doing that one plank.

OK, pointy end of the ship done finally. I've pretty much replicated the AOTS for all the stays and running rigging.

Thanks gents, things will slow down now, I want to get the mast tackles done next, and time to bite the bullet and make up some blocks with metal hooks. Then the fish hook davits (which are constructed but unshipped) to run off the foremast tackle, then the 4 anchors, the stunsail booms, do up chucks lantern, then wrap it all in glad wrap and start on the yards. So, same time next year then....

Topmast blocks added. The jeer blocks slung under the shrouds required me to make eyelets and sling them. It looks really busy (it is) and because of the close ups looks somewhat out of scale, but by the time the topgallant shrouds are added and eventually the yards, the tension of the blocks should look correct.

Mizzen topmast stays. This was the most difficult as the thimble that goes on the end of the stay had to be put on whilst it was rigged. fat fingers and backstays do not mix. Now to have some fun and rig the blocks under and over the shrouds.

Bowspit cap, and horses and netting. As I said to slog I attached the blocks first to the cap. I've been dreading this part for years, but it came off quite easily really, only a days work in it for the netting.

Last post of the year I promise! Bit of serendipity today as I actually read the plans and looked at the replica and the Topgallant shrouds have no ratlines! I'm finished with them! Shrouds and backstays in place. Lots of work on the bowsprit before I can add the last stay. next year it is.

There is a sense of achievement finally fitting the topgallants. The topgallant futtock shrouds and thimbles were attached first which gets really fiddly seizing them properly to the Topmast shrouds. Strangely, the masts ended up aligned! 12 shrouds and 4 backstays to go. Finally given the Endeavour's strong ties to Australia, a boxing day BBQ is always on the cards, so the BBQ photo.
Hope you all had a happy Christmas.

I used the CC Photo etch fret. The crows feet thingy does not have enough holes! You'll have to do one by hand.

Cheers Captain Slog. The back is an old injury that comes and goes, it's a good excuse when the grass needs cutting and the cricket is on .
Have a good one,
Rowan D.

Thanks Jan.
I started to prepare the mast. The most difficult task for me was to make cheeks and front fish.

Um, not sure what you mean, but this is how I did mine,

Ok, the whole mast tapers for the cheeks, with the green bit being full circumference. I did it on the lathe. I filed the sides above the green for the cheeks so they are fairly flush. The woulding was filed into the cheeks and used ratan for the hoops. The metal bands were just cut to appear as if they go under.
