I hve rigged up the fore topsail tie and the fore topsail lift. Its getting lot of rope up there and a bit messt but i have all the inportant ropes in there. Cant imagine doing a sailing rig on 1/100 scale boat... too many ropes. I scaled the heaxagonal section and 3d printed that and stuck it on. Im going to put the final set of lifts on the top gallant after i have completed the topsail shrouds. Im hitting the wall a bit knowing that i have to repeat all of this again with the main and mizzen mast. It looks good but wow what alot of work to do it!!

I might be doing this all wrong but ive tidied up alot of the line down at the fore bitts.. my belaying plan is not following any sort of accuracy, im playing with what the kit gave me in terms of instructions. The only thing i am doing is rigging the fore lift near to the edge of the ship on long blocks as per lees book but in the paterrson book it goes to a block on the fore channel. Once again if i had more space i could do that. I put the block on the rail instead. I will be putting coils of rope over each belaying pin so probably wont see them I didnt tie the truss pendent correctly but just glued the lines on approximately and also rigged the nave line and belayed it on the fore bitt.

I managed to rig up the jeer blocks okay... very fiddly but hey this is rigging. They a little lopsided but im not going tk change it... its close enough for me today. Now i have the fore yard no i am going to start belay pinning down at the base of the mast... again quite a lot of tricky stuff to wind around the belaying pins down there.. might have to cheat and just spot glue it and then put a coil of rope over the rope.

3D printing material question

I have found the phrozen 8k resin to be the highest detail and pretty strong due to the number of "nano particles" in it. But it is brittle and dont think it would like machining post print. -

I may be doing this all wrong but its getting pretty congested around the fore top area so i rigged the jeer blocks onto the spar before i rigged it up and then poked the stirrups up under the for stay and then im going to stap them to the mast afterwards. The parrel is so small and delicate i basically just stuck it on for the look. It isnt going any job with holding up the spar. And i had a bit of a mistake with the lift blocks but i have followed the 1719 pattern according to lees book

Working at 1/100 scale there was no way i was going to make realistic parrals for 1720 rigging with wood so i once again turned to the 3d printer. Ive gone it.. they very delicate to take the supports out of and i broke 5 just to make one so print off heaps of clones. But i have realised it doesnt end in a parral, the trucks dont have a end parral! So back to the printer again. I must say i love that it takes about 10 minutes per print these days with the rapid resin. 1720 it was indeterminate if the yards were left on place or lowered so thats why the parrals are needed.

Hi Keith- im up to rigging the truss pendants... where is toni's tutorial found? On this website?

This is what happens when you try and do things at 9pm at night, tired and cant be arsed getting it right... pull it off and start again!

What i do love about model making with ships is that there is many ways of making something with different materials, different manufacturing techniques both additive and subtractive and there isnt a right answer. In making a yard i could have turned the wood and shave a hexagonal central region. I could have left it round. Ive experiemented with making two hexagonal parts on the 3d printer which sheath the 4mm dowel to create a hexagonal centre piece. The hard part of this is paint to colour match or maybe i paint it black.. if its black it tends to hide the detail so im trying for a wood match this time... if it looks dumb i will paint it black and white or grey dry brush to bring out the hex shape.

You can go into too much detail. I didnt turn my top gallant masts but i did add a "stump" pole using the 3d printer.. think they look pretty cool on the foremast at least
-
Ive fixed the broken chain plate with a piece of rope.. much more 1720! To be honest if your considering this kit maybe just go with the rope... it looks so much neater. And now... what colour do you paint a white metal belaying pin??!? Again rubbish with a capital rub.

While im sorting out the mess with the dead eyes i tried out my new tool, a drawing pad by Huion. It takes a bit of time to adjust to it but i was starting to get better towards the end. Ive made some kevel blocks for the ship and they look okay. Im just going to paint them black and stick them on.

My fix for the broken chain plate hasnt worked.. the glue keeps breaking when i try and rig up the deadeye. Im thinking if i can drill it out and and use a piece of rope around the dead eye and through the hole in the channel and then use a panel pin to hold it down? Its a pain the butt.

And i did the spirit yard guide ropes this morning

Did i tell you the white metal chain plates that come with the kit are rubbish? If i had my time again which i wont i would either 3d print them from strong plastic or make my own with rope as it 1719 and iron wasnt used for chain plates yet. I broken my second one rigging up the foremast. My fix for this as i nailed the chain plates down, is to bend some 1mm brass wire around the deadeye and then super glue it onto the broken stump of the plate and wind black fishing fly fishing silk around the base with more super glue. Dont use the kit ones unless your very careful!!
