HMS Beagle by Krupi - OcCre - 1:60
Pete D replied to Krupi's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
Excellent work , great result -
Ratlines attached . Hopefully I have showed relevant steps that seem to have worked okay . If anyone has advice or criticism of the method , please go ahead
-
Upper mast attached area , prior to attaching deadeyes and working our the length of the lanyards
-
These are the shroud lines prior to attaching to the upper mast
-
I then decided to try a different method for the upper shrouds. When I worked on the upper shrouds of the main mast , I pretty much used the same system that I have just shown. It just appeared to be really hard work working in space , small , and the anchor point were really "brittle" , I was afraid I was going to snap the mast. I decided that I could do all the siezing required , before attaching to the mast , in a more comfortable space away from the ship. When done I could then attach to the mast and proceed further So I did the siezing in the conventional way in the vice

This is how the lanyards ended up
-
I then siezed the shroud , no glue , so that I could move the siezing up or down until the lanyard would be the correct length and attached the deadeye

I have continued on the process of rigging me Beagle . I thought I would show you how I went about this process. Any comments will be appreciated , as to method and process. This sequence was for the rigging of both lower and upper shrouds on the foremast. First I measured off the lengths of the lower shroud needed before attachment to the Mast

I find that sometimes the diagram and instructions and the video all give different views and methods. I feel that one should use own judgement. After all it is our model....

I had the same issue during my build , thought I had mislaid them. But I guess its an issue with OcCre. I also just bought some from a craft store and it works fine . Just needs to be straightened out

Looks good. It does help to have the right tools , like round nose pliers . Makes it a little easier

That finish looks great . I think it may be worth a try on my next attempt at a build -
Looking great , good work...
-
Looks like you're making excellent progress .
-
This was the second or third attempt before I decided to proceed . This is before I have glued or trimmed the ratlines
-
Been a while since I worked on ratlines , so I tried some before I went further . Wasn't impressed with this lot so undid it to try again
-
So I started on the rigging of my Beagle . I decided to start from the stern working forwards , as it seemed it would be easier with less to do on the mizzen mast . I attached the shrouds with a simple knot
-
Great work , good to see that my workbench looks the same.....
