Im my push to get this blinking model finished you do work and then realise that it looks funny and the reality is i should have checked the position of the lashing before gluing it. If it had been only 1 centimeter out i would have left it but its quite a bit out... out comes the knife and trying to cut away the lashing and glue so that i can move it... sigh

In the absence of reslly knowing where to belay the ropes.. i put them midships on kevel blocks near the deck. In one book they go forward to knight's heads on the forecastle but on this model that looks weird. Im going to do similar for the fore topsail braces but to a kevel block up nearer the bow and also the fore top gallant braces. Im prepared to make a few mistakes... it is my first effort at this type of rigging.
-
Hi.. another question for this model, where do you belay the rope for the fore yard brace to? I cant find a diagram in any book that says definitely where the rope belays in 1720.. its a bit vague.

I fixed the main top mast stay and preventer stay... it wasnt easy i had to rip out the fore bitts and drill small holes for the two eye bolts and then thread the stays through the blocks and glue the bitts back on My heart rate was up though out this tricky bit as wasnt sure i could glue the bitt back on but its on.

Lees says both stays go to an eye bolt on the deck..suppose i can do that... its pretty crowded down at the base of the fore mast
-
Im wondering about the positioning of this block just under the catharpins... according to the petersson book the main topmast preventer stay goes through this block and there is a main top mast stay as well? Ive looked in the lees book and it suggests a dead eye for the preventer upto 1719 while the stay is a block to the deck... Why is the order of the preventer and stay reversed ?

I would start on here.. there is the 3d print forum on the front page you can post a question or people will offer to print stuff for you and post it. I did a few parts for people who are following my build log

Hi... im in Auckland and have been doing ship building and 3 d printing now for 2 years or so. My 3d printing skills have improved alot so happy to lend a hand when it comes time to start creating print files and printing things... Would be great to know other nz builders. Cheers Stuart -
Ive done the port side ratlines using the method recommended for scales 1/100 which is not to tie each ratlone on each shroud but juat glue them on with ca. I seized one end of the ratline to the outmost shroud then using the guide reverse seized it to the other shroud and pulled it tight. I know some people like to have the ratlines sag in the middle but im happy with the straight look i achieved. I also added the foremast carpathians for the 1720 period which is seized to one shroud and zig zag across to the outmost shroud. Fiddly as buggery but i can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the foremast. Ratlines on the starboard side and then start seizing the shroud pairs onto the main mast.

The first ratline
-
I managed to fix it by just cutting the binding cords and then ripping it off the block. But because it was too short i had to bind a extra bit on. It doesnt look that good but best i can do... im moving on as sooo much to do and loosing patience. I put on the fore top gallant yard, the top gallant lifts and belayed onto a shroud cleat... small and so cute Im basically done with the fore mast, except for the catharpins and all the rat lines... not sure what is going to easier doing them first or last
-
Um... help.. what do you do to fix this?all my shroud loops are on the mast. It looks aweful with one deadeye up so far out of line. I know i need to take it off but how do i do it as ive already cut the shroud to that size. Bloody hell!!

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!!
