    Fore and main lower yards.
  2. marsalv
    Spritsail yard.
  3. marsalv
    Thank you guys. Before installing the yards on the mast, it was necessary to make the belaying pins.
  4. marsalv
    Before installing the yards on the mast, I added a few more details - mast and shroud cleats, spare masts and yards, rigging of the rudder.

    Thank you guys for all likes and comments. Today only answer to the question from dvm27. The footropes are fixed in position with CA glue. Unsightly excess glue is removed with a debonder if necessary.
  6. marsalv
    All the necessary blocks are attached to the yards, so the yards are ready for installation.

    Thank you guys for all comments and likes. The running rigging I started by installing the blocks and footropes on the yards. I chose the fore and main lower yards first, which are the most difficult.
  8. marsalv
    Standing rigging completed.
  9. marsalv
    Gradually I continue with the next level - top masts.
  10. marsalv
    Futtock shrouds and crowfeets. This completes the lower masts standing rigging. I will continue with top masts standing rigging.
  11. marsalv
    Thanks . Installation of stay tackles and tops.
  12. marsalv
    Thank you giampieroricci, I try to match your model at least a little . I continue with catharpins and bowsprit horses.
  13. marsalv
    Lower mast futtock staves and ratlines.
  14. marsalv
    Lower stays.

    Thank you all for the very positive responses, they are embarrassing me a bit. To dvm27: It is not an exact copy of real splice. The ends of the rope are cut to a length of approx. 2 - 5 mm (depending on the size of the ceiling), the number of threads is then reduced by half on each side. Subsequently, the ends of the ropes are connected to each other and with the help of PVA and fingers, a connection is made. Finally, wrapping is done on the joint thus formed. So even if it's fake, the result doesn't look bad.

    I am very pleased with the positive reactions to the use of a CNC milling machine in the construction of the model, but to be honest, I myself would need a lot of lessons from more experienced people (at least as far as 3D computer modeling is concerned). To Vladimir_Wairoa: I use French Sajou threads, which are waxed (at least that's what the manufacturer says), so I don't have so many problems with "hair" on the ropes. I continue making pendants and lower mast shrouds.

    Thank you guys for very nice comments. Preparing to make these blocks was quite a challenge for me. But the result exceeded all my expectations. Uncritically, I have to admit that I myself am very satisfied with the result.. To Hsae - The blocks are made with a CNC milling machine, not from Proxxon, but a commonly available Chinese milling machine. The material for the blocks is pear. The construction of the model moved to the next stage - rigging. I start by attaching the bowsprit.
  18. marsalv
    And here are the results of my efforts.
  19. marsalv
    A few more "special" blocks remain to be made before I start rigging.
  20. marsalv
    I finished the remaining yards.
  21. marsalv
    Thank you guys for nice comments. Now it's time to make the yards.
  22. marsalv
    To No Idea: As garyshipwrighter partially answered you, the small blocks are intended as a stop for gammoning and collars (fore stay, fore preventer stay, inner and outer bobstay) - see enclosed picture. I finished all the masts and tried installing them on the model.
  23. marsalv
    Hi Richard, I will be very happy to follow your construction. In the 1:24 scale, a truly impressive model will be created. Will you be building just the hull or the whole model?
  24. marsalv
    Thank you druxey. I continue with bowsprit.
  25. marsalv
    I started assembling the masts.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
