I then started to work on the top dead eyes and shrouds

This is a simple jig I made to keep the lanyards equal

I started to work on some of the main mast shrouds .

I then started some work on the bow

Trimmed and glued

This was the second or third attempt before I decided to proceed . This is before I have glued or trimmed the ratlines

Been a while since I worked on ratlines , so I tried some before I went further . Wasn't impressed with this lot so undid it to try again

So I started on the rigging of my Beagle . I decided to start from the stern working forwards , as it seemed it would be easier with less to do on the mizzen mast . I attached the shrouds with a simple knot

Also checked everything was parallel to each other before glueing . Looks a pretty site now that one can see it all coming together

And now I thought that I could finally attach the BEAGLE....

Attached the bowsprit also . Its seemed out of allignment , but I guess it was the angle of the photos

the moment of truth. All yards are now attached , no going back . And then the masts . Too late now if I see anything missing....
-

The moment of truth ....... dry fitted all the masts with dry fitted yards into the deck ......and went in search of a white wall to check everything was in alignment.... all the perpendiculars and horizontals

I also dry fitted the yards to the mainmast with the same pinning system . Once everything is in alignment it should be easier to glue everything in place.

I followed the same process of checking the detail work on the mainmast yards . You will notice that the saddles do look a lot cleaner , as I was a lot more careful with them when varnishing
-

I then dry fitted the yards to the foremast . I used pins to attach to the mast to work out the heights etc . Made the pins out of some of the pins supplied in the kit , just cut the heads off.

This is how I checked that I had completed all the detailed ropes and blocks on the fore mast yards before I tried to dry fit them
-

Complete mizzen mast , with completed booms and top yard attached . I attached these first as it seemed simpler than the attachment process of the yards to the fore and main mast
-
Fernando E reacted to Pete D in HMS Beagle by Pete D - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:60 Scale
Started work on the mizzen mast , and constructed the booms
-

Completed the main mast , dry fitted
-
Fernando E reacted to Pete D in HMS Beagle by Pete D - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:60 Scale
Started some work on the main mast . Pretty similar to the foremast , so tried not to make smaller errors that cropped up in the construction of the fore mast . These are some of the blocks

You will notice that the saddles on the yards look a little "grubby" . I had thought that perhaps the paintbrush that I had used had maybe not been cleaned properly , but after multiple attempts at cleaning , and resorting to a new paint brush the varnish with, I realised that some of the stain tends to come off the wood during the course of varnishing. I did contemplate starting again , but decided to keep these. I will be more careful when I work on the main mast yards.

All the foremast yards completed with ropes and blocks .

Change in plans . Decided to work on the foremast yards . Involves a lot of sanding the yards into shape as well as the saddles .
