Update here a little update on the foremast topsail and the lower squaresail. My technique for rigging is to pre-rigg the two yards, hang the yards with the attached sail into the slings and then sort out the lines, rigg and belay them to the appropriate terminals. Buntlines, reef lines, leech lines come on a bit later. all the bow lines will go on last, when the braces are set Nils I use mini rollers (diam. 2,5 mm) from RB Models webshop as thimles here thimbles attached for the truss tackles foresail attached to lower yard self explaining..... the scetches for the mainmast yard rigging come very handy again here these two pre-rigged foremast sails are ready for hanging into the slings

Cutty Sark by NenadM
Mirabell61 replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
I know Nenad, the correct eyesight is very important. I remember during my early job employments a had to read many commercial fils and specificationn, this ending sometimes in headaches in the afternoon hours. First time I became glasses for compensating (I did`nt recognise I needed them before) was with 32 years, and since then I ca`nt do without. Nils- 4,152 replies

Gary, an amazing model, neat, clean precise, very well done. I love the color composition you have chosen on all. The dull brick red (not too dominant) goes excellently tother with the light natural wooden deck Nils

Thanks Popeye, BTW, why the yellow funnel ? the original funnel is black, which I`m not very fond of, so I Chose Yellow, being next to blue, one of the national swedish Colors, also the bowpost Flyer is not the swedish flag but the town ensign of Gotenburg. The wheelhouse of my model (Bridge) is representing the 1914 version Cheers Nils

Carlos, after looking at that picture of the "Bohuslän" I was thinking of adding "eyebrows" over the windows and some of these wooden bumper-lugs hanging outside, when I open the glass case for ammendments next time.... Nils

Michael, thank you so much, your Kind comment is gladly appreciated.. The rigging is the first thing to attract ones eye later on, so I`d better put some concentration on it. Also it takes longer than I thought. Trust I would`nt have the Patience to do a rigging for a heavy frigate like "Agamemnon" or "Victory". When all is complete at least I can say that I`ve once tried an 18th century rigging. I admire all those members, for example with their 1:48 scale square riggers where even most the Standing rigging ropes are precisely served...... Nils

Thank you very much Martin and Bob, your appreciations are well accepted... Martin, the rubberband is simple, but it does a good Job to get the Yard away of the working area when knotting ratlines . Bob, its going on quite well now, I just had to pull out my scetch for the mainmast lower Yard, and had the number of blocks and sizes for the foremast lower Yard. Am working at it this afternoon, will probably have a pic or two of the making sequence tomorrow Nils
