Maybe the used hydraulic splitters, but they looked sawed in half either way lots of work. Are you going to split up some for your build ? Bob M. -
Well now it has been awhile. I am putting this Pegasus back on the bench as of today. I have to get everything back in order for building the masts , the point that I stop. It will take me some time to get the ship yard running smoothly again but I just want to finish the Pegasus. It was a gift from Emilio Marletti of Amati Models, I want to finish it for him. May the fun never stop. Thanks my friends, you have given more than I can pay back. So with that news, going to set up shop see you in a while. Knocklouder 😁 Kurt ⚒️

Part of my problem is I have two sets of plans, Mantua and a set from the Paris Museum. To me it looked like Rodney was following the Paris plans. They show wooden blocks for sail booms, the Mantua shows iron studding sail booms. It looks likes I could make them and include them but it is a detail I will over look. I got in contact with my good friend about Sail boom irons This is what I found And right here on MSW: (looks like wood to me!) This log talks about wooden sail booms. This picture show studding sail boom irons. So I am at the three yard line, and the all the yard lines that run aft will be added. So close to the finish line lol Got some outside commitments to attend to for the next couple of days so progress will slow, but you can bet I be back rigging as soon as I can. Thanks for stopping bye. And thank you @archjofo, for help me learn about ships , I appreciate it emencily. Knocklouder Kurt ⚒️

Mine never lined up either, I just filed the back of the suports so the fit the deck. Then the holes lined up. I would have to go check my log to be sure, most logs have this problem . Bob M.

Yes it was according to the plan, Rodney had three yards made this way out of wood, I know I left some details off in the middle of the yard, I just went with what I saw. Are they supposed to be irons? Bob M

Well moving the blocks around only help a little , still have some lines touching, but what can you do. 🤔 It will do for me. We attached the lower main yard with a couple of two hole blocks , ran the line to the belaying point. I ran a few more yard lines this time keeping better track of where they were going. Rodney has a bag full of brown pins and a bag of white. I went with the darker ones. For now I just run the line to the right place then thread the line through the hole and pin it. I will tie them right when I put the rope coils on, wink wink. There is an awful amount of rigging on the ship , glad there is no sails . Six yards to go, four are very easy so might get her done tomorrow, the yards lol. Still have a ways to go , the ship's boat and the anchors need to be done. Plus there is work on the stern windows that needs to be looked at. Thanks for popping in. Knocklouder Kurt ⚒️

This is the place to be , I did a simple Google search for your model Bombay Star, I entered Bombay Star model ship, got two model company's with loads of info for her. Hope this helps, welcome aboard MSW/NRG Bob M.

Amazing talent Sir, Bob M.

Some great logs for that ship right here on MSW, good luck on your journey . Bob M.

So we backed up to the eight yard and will start blocks on all four yards. Kurt tells me we are moving some blocks. That and a big thanks to @archjofo for his log. He showed in his log exactly what I needed to do. So I will move these blocks forward. Hopefully that will do the trick, thanks my friend, and you thought I was not paying attention to your log lol. I have a bit of untanglement shell we say lol. Nothing is glued, and will be moving lines around so that the runs are smooth, I hope. Another roll of thread is coming to an end, but we got stock lol. Good thing, because this has a lot of rigging and I am no where near done lol. Thankfully I have MSW to help, on to the main mast. Appreciate the likes and comments , ya'll have help me with many things, thanks for putting up with me, lol but I love building ships it's the best hobby. I am sadden by all the lost time I could have been modeling in stead of receiving all the benefits of computers and internet pictures and logs. I can almost read now lol., but I still don't know how to use the form lol. Later my friend's, Knocklouder Kurt ⚒️

Raising the yards according to the plans, looks pretty simple . I have looked at some amazing logs on rigging, there is no way this shakey old builder will ever come close to those, but the fun is in the tieing lol. Short cuts will be made , I seem to shake to much for a few things I would like to do but really having a blast modeling. I started belaying ropes to their right number point, lol some have four lines to one number. 🤣 I will figure it out later. All the yards are hung, I just pined them on in the right spot. The pins hold the yards in place while I rig them. Something I pick up from my Duchess build, its a great trick for me. After they are riged , I cut the pins thouch up no one will see. Looks are deceiving, there is a lot of blocks and seizing to be done. This is the part of the build that is up to me how good I make the rigging, but there is WAY to much information about rigging to understand all of it. Thanks to the many logs here, I can make a go of it. At least there is no sails, I may roll some up for the diorama, but that will have to wait until I finish painting this one. Lol That is for another log and another day my friends. Thanks Knocklouder Kurt ⚒️
