    Hello, I have been able to solve the problem with the tackle pendants and the blocks for the yard. Many thanks to mort stoll who gave me valuable help. After solving the problem, I went back to the backstays. After the completion of the standing rigging on the main mast, the tensioning of all ropes will be controlled and fixed. Now I can devote myself to rigging the mizzen mast. Helli

    Hello, Have made a huge big mistake. I have forgotten the two main topmast tackle pendants and the blocks for the main topmast yard. Does anyone have an idea how I can subsequently mount the reasonable? Helli

    Hello, Have made a little progress again Now I have finished the ratlines on the main mast and the main topmast. After that I have mounted the main topgallant shrouds. Main topmast stay and main topmast preventer stay are now also mounted and fixed. The next work is all the backstays on the main mast. When I am ready I will report again. Helli

    Hello, We have the same fate. The victory is my first ship. It's a big challenge. But you grow with the tasks. And when I look at your work like that, I can only take my hat off to this perfection. Helli

    Hello, Now I have finished the shrouds on the fore mast. For a change I started with the ratlines. Cheers Helli

    Hello, Of course I have been following your construction report since the beginning. There were also a lot of things I took over.👍 It would be a pleasure for me if you would take over some of my ideas. The rigging is already a difficult task. After I removed the old one like it was so smeared with glue, I am making very slow progress. The most important thing for me is not to use any glue at all. But this is not so easy as it is a very tricky job. You always have to sew the thread back. Sometimes you need several different needles and especially four hands.☺️ But it's fun and I'll keep at it and continue to follow other construction reports. Helli

    Hello, Congratulations! A wonderful model. Will now probably get a place of honour! Helli

    Hello, For the shrouds on the mast I use a simple takling and for the deadeyes I use a seizing I can recommend two books. In my opinion, these are great works I hope I helped you with that. Helli

    Hello, Great!!! I will definitely follow up on the report. I'm looking forward to it. Helli

    Hello, Now I have a small update again. I have now finished the futtock stave and the futtock shrouds on the foremast. I decided to use the alternative method according to the book "The Anatomy of Nelson's Ship". Then I continued with the fore topmast shrouds. I made myself a helpstay so that I can adjust the tension of the shrouds before the shrouds are ready. It is quite tedious and progresses only slowly. But I'll keep you posted on the progress. Helli

    Hello, First of all, thanks for the likes and comments. Clearway No actually it did not hurt because I did not like the result. Of course it's not perfect now either. When I see other projects here in the forum I can only marvel and try to orientate myself on this level. But in the end I must like the result. I think if I want to build scale, such a project is primarily about building and then the result should be as you imagine it. Helli

    Hello, Again a little further. I've got all the stays in place. Here fore preventer stay and fore stay with snaking Here main preventer stay and main stay with snaking And here mizzen stay Helli

    Hi, Now i am finished with the shrouds at the lower masts. I have mounted an auxiliary stay, because otherwise the mast would be pulled too much backwards when setting the shrouds. This would have the consequence that when the stay is mounted the front shrouds would be looser than the rear ones and when the deadeyes are tightened the deadeyes would be at different heights. Cheers Helli

    Hello, Got a little further now. I think it was right to remove the old rigging. Compared to the new one. Now I make all shrouds on the lower masts and then I work my way up. I will report further. Helli

    Hello, Will gladly follow the construction report Helli

    Hello, Now I have finished rigging the bowsprit. I left all the ropes open so that I can tighten everything at the end. With the shrouds I have now also started. I made the wooden rail so that I can get the deadeye all in one height. I have seen it in a forum and find it a very good idea. So that's it again. Helli

    Hi, After i was satisfied with the samples i began with the new rigging. The first work i do was served the shrouds The lashings are complete without glue. Then i rigged the bowsprit and made the foot rope on the spritsail yard That's all for now. I will report on progress Helli

    Hi, Thank you so much! Got it! There is no reliable information, therefore human understanding is used. Helli

    Hi, I have a few hundred photos of the original in Portsmouth and also some books, including "The anatomy of Nelson`s Ship, Mondfeld ect. But alternative designs are suggested for many things. e.g .: Page 229 Page 230 This is then called "artistic freedom" But how it is "right" is not clear. Helli
