Build log part 86 taking plans for positioning the ships boat, here dry fit trials. There will be two spare topmast spars horizontal over the fore-ballustrade and the main gallows, on which the boat shall rest. The main stay-sail between the two masts is arranged and rigged in hight to enable free flying to either side without fouling the boat, and the hight between deck and the horizontal spare masts allows sufficient full hight crew`s move on the gun deck Nils the boat will be placed with a little assymetric offset to the port side I think the spare topmasts here are only interim dummies.... the lowest stay-sail can swing free well above the boat the boats bow in the background peeping through belfry stool and the vertical lines Hight for crew on gundeck is sufficient, even with hats on.....

nice work on stanchions and rails Dimitris, Nils

Carl, thanks for your nice comment, with this model it was the first time I tried out the metal plating (rivet structure), like I do now on all historic models that resemble the steel built plated hull before the welding technique took over .... Nils

Thanks Martin, The shroud cleats are made quite simple, like I had shown earlier in this log. I thought about something in wood, but that would have been too prominent in this scale Nils

Update status 23rd April 2015 Build log part 85 the port side running rigging is nearly complete. except for braces, bow lines, sheets and tacks of the lower large square- sails and likewise for the two spritboom sails. Also all the coil ends to the lines have to be put on the pins as well....... Nils the two bowsprit sails also have cluelines, buntlines, and the yards bear lifts and braces. The blue rubberband is just preliminary, to position the yard the operating lines go to the port side bow pinrail at the bulwark, Stb side will be likewise lines and blocks for topsail and topgallant sail most of the lines going down to deck are lead through blocks to their belaying points. There are 28 shroud cleats mounted per ship side

Hey Nenad, you are flattering me, but I`m glad the shipmodel finds your interest. Thanks a lot for dropping in and catching up and your appreciation, all the best for a further good Progress with your CS. I like the pig stays you built recently, I made some for my "Pamir" model as well Nils

Hello Lawrence, thanks for dropping in and catching up, I`m glad you like it. In the moment there are some lines for which I`m trying out the best functional rigging solution, also I ran out of blocks, but order is placed with Chuck`s shop already. Nils

Hello Karl, hav`nt heard from your side quite some time, but what you present in your update is highest notch of masterly shipwright work. Am very impressed, it looks like the actual thing. I love the character of natural wooden surfaces, the wood speaks for itself, and your finish is fantastic..... Nils

Many thanks for your nice appreciatians and comments to Patrick, Carl, Boyd, Popeye, and all the recent likes...... Patrick, yes, I guess its turning in on the final run, I`ll have to order some more blocks though.... Carl, you`re not alone with the feeling that the ship is larger, but please be assured its strictly scale 1:64, and sowith not larger that the kit based models here at MSW Boyd, before I began, I once saw a model of the "Bounty", partialy unplanked with view into the ship. The fact that the model was carrying a full set of sails impressed me so much, that I knew what I was looking for with the Swan Class Popeye, thanks for your word, the case will be appr. the size of the one for the "Gorch Fock" Nils

Update Build log part 84.... All sails are rigged on, at the moment clearing the lines to the belaying points Nils already thinking of the size of the glass case all the port-bow sprit related operating yard- and sail lines are belayed to the appropriate pins at the port bow bulwark. Stb. side will be likewise dry-fitting the anchors to the fore port channel as long as I´m working from the weather side the leeward lines are kept slightly taught by the weight of the pegs belaying the lines from this side, before the yards are braced to the other side
