Many thanks to Boyd, Bob (Rafine), Michael, Bob (Cap`n), Mike, and all the "likes" Boyd, thanks for your fine comment. I saw that you`re putting nice detail beneath your Bounty`s decks, very nice looking Bob (Rafine), I`m glad you like the rigging, but must bear in mind that you have even a smaller scale with your "Essex" rigging, well done, looking forward to seeing some update pics soon Michael, its quite struggle with fiddling the lines through the sheaves of the 3mm blocks, (thinned out the ends) , but yes, two tweezers and two scissors are in use alltime. Cap`n Bob, from time to time I have to identify which line goes to or come from where......, so gently pull at the other end and see which one moves.... It is my intention not to have lines from the crossing between foremast-bits and the bowsprit enabling free access (rounding) to the front forecastle deck Mike, thanks for looking in, its a pleasure to have you following the progress. All the best for your current Colin Archer project Nils some of the mostly used rigging equipment.....

Build log part 83... Update Sprit and jib-boom sail, ready to capture the slightest breeze... Nils I put the braces on the sprit- and jib sail yards the 8-hole saddle on the lower sprit boom, enables a little order to the many lines looking like a ship now..... only the foremast topgallant sail is still missing.....

Congrats to finalising your "Pinco Genvese" Hartmut, the ship looks very well built and the rigging with set sails corresponds beautiful to the all round Appeal. I like it very much, It`s a lovely ship, which may encourage the one or other member to look into this direction with the next build. Regards to your wife, I understood she signes a great deal for the wonderful sail sewing Job...... Nils

Thanks Popeye, no, not done then, but still to do all the remaining shroud cleats, brace lines, bow lines, coil Ends and all the fine Tuning, presume it will take me to late june this year when all is done. I also have a command of 38 British Infantry figures (1775-1783) in scale 1:64 who can be appointed as redcoat marine infantrists as well, if I pick a few out for maning the Pegasus battle stations. Arm positions, weapons, hats, etc,... are variable and can be Chosen, so I can also have one or two at the swivels Nils

Little update..... Build log part 82 am still busy with the rigging, the foremast still needs the topgallant sail, and the two spritsail yards and sails are being prepared...... Nils the two yards are not rigged yet. Here the sails are ready, the lower spritsail with the water-holes here can be seen where the thimbles come to use, appropriate lines are belayed at the shroud cleats at the fore-bits the lines for sheets, clues and jeers are not permanently belayed yet, as the sails still have to be moved during rigging (access-wise). The tackle outside of the shrouds belongs to the shifting-backstay here mainmast rigged with all 3 sails, except for brace-lines and bowlines

Hi Boyd, these are solid brass CNC turned and drilled stanchions and the wires are also brass 0,4 mm. These priceworthy stanchions come from "RB Models" webshop in different sizes, for different number of wire lines and comprize the mini borings in the round part. Machining these myself is unfortunately beyond my capability Nils

Yeah, certainly Boyd, go ahead, I`ll be pleased if it can be of any help to your`s Nils
