lovely masting work Steve, Nils -
Thank you very much David, I`m so happy that I have the time to follow my Hobby again after retirement, but still some time to go till she browses down the slipway Nils Your words are much appreciated Lee, I`m sure your "Alert`s " rigging will be first class, telling by that super framing and joining work so far. For my behalf I ca`nt begin a rigging sequence without doing a hand-scetch first, in order to sort out what goes where. I seldom see this from fellow builders, but I`m sure they would do so as well. The scetch usualy bears the Information from several plan Sheets concentrated to the Need in the Moment (samples included) Nils

great look with the Barrels Mauro Nils -
Build log part 72 update on rigging the main course......., as I mentioned earlier I wanted to rig the square sails in braced mode, and starting with the main sail the angle of bracing is somewhat limited to fouling with shrouds, and main stay-sail This is the maximum (sharp braced mode) I can get out of thje geometry for this squarerigger, with loostened weather truss, and set of sail controlling lines accordingly. Am quite pleased with the geometry so far. Am using more blocks than initially intended, but it provides better appeal for the rigging. Shall probably rig the main topsail next Nils related to the pre-rigging of the yard with sail, this went quite well leech- and buntlines attached but not belayed yet. Also the ratlines are not on yet, as long as I have to operate with the tweezers here maximum bracing angle most of the controling lines come down between main mast and gallow to the blocks on deck and then to the belaying rail

Michael, thank you for your comment. I remember putting on all those sail operating lines on the two tallships but that was in scale 1:95 and only possible with Long tweezers, holding the breath for fiddeling in blocks, an making and securing mini knots, etc,... , now with scale 1:64 there is much more relief and access to the belaying pionts, but still the sequences in progress have to be well planed ahead thanks Patrick, I have a small number of crew figurines in (1:64) that will be placed on the ship permanently afterwards. Also I`m planing to place some 18th century british naval marines (red coats) scale (1:64) on the gun deck, and perhaps one or two each at the swivels at forecastle and quarterdeck Nils

Thank you very much Piet, I rigged the (pre-rigged) main course in place this afternoon, it went quite well, so that the next ones will be rigged even easier (learning curve) Nils
-
Juergen I`m curious what she will look like when all sails are set and rigged. As far as I have seen, there is at this time no other Swan Class under full set sail model build log at MSW Bob I realy Need These Little figurines for checking the scaled dimensions Popeye trust you meant the pre-rigginging of the square sails, ist just the Dance with all those lines so they do`nt get tangled. I have to gain more experience with that...., and hope that it works Pete appriciate your comment, glad you like it Nils

Build log part 71 a little update, moving on, to fitting and mounting the square sails....., starting with the main course attached to the main yard. I decided to pre-rig the square sail to the yard, and then put the yard with the sail at it`s place. Most of the lines are sheaved in to the tiny blocks, also truss tackle, clue lines for the main, and sheet line for the main topsail. Also the main yard-sling will be pre fixed to the yard. The leech- and buntlines will be sheaved to the blocks under the main top platform, before the yard goes to its place. I hope all shall go well and that the lines do`nt get tangled whilst mounting Nils first a few sights of non-complete fitting out status I decided to put flemish horses to the outer yard tips blocks, stirrups and horses mounted first trial hanging in of the main yard stern view the sail is now standing square to the ships length axis, the square sails will later on be braced as sharp as possible (Fouling with the shrouds) Pre rigged main course The vertical lines are for truss tackle The other line are preliminary lead through the outer stud sail spar supports, for easier mounting

lucky you, Bob, (great Job Janos), that figurehead is fantastic, the "dot on the i " , it gives your build, which is already outstanding, a precious looking touch of art. I hope you wo`nt paint it... Due to scarce useage of colored paint, your ship is presenting much lovely natural wooden apeal, which I love Nils

HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64
Mirabell61 replied to Jaekon Lee's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Lee, just a question, I remember you mentioned that only one hull-side will be Planked on in- and outside for leaving the Frame disposal for sight to the inside. This will be wonderful, and is completely on my wave as well......, but due to the Frames Standing quite Close this will narrow the sight very much. Do you have something arranged for a better sight inside. Will the upper deck be semi-planked, with perhaps reduced number of deckbeams or so ? Nils -
beautiful gallow- and chainpump Arrangement Alex, I love the warm wooden tones and the sharp-chissels work... Nils
