  1. I've started to add the yards and the yards jeers/tyes on the fore mast. 

     

    For the fore topgallant yard the plans showed the line attached like this.

    I then pinned the yard to the mast and secured it with a strand of parrel beads.

    The fore topsail yard was also pinned to the mast and secured with a double strand of parrel ribs and beads.

    And finally the fore yard was added pinning it to the mast and then rigged per the plans.

  2. Thank you Glenn, Derek and DocRob. This is the model I've done that had crowsfeet and I too really like the look.

     

    I've now added the all of the stays and preventor stays. 

     

    Here is an example of the blocks used in some of the rigging. These are for the fore topmast preventor stay.

    Thanks for stopping by!

     

  3. I've served the main and fore stays and mounted them per the plans. After reviewing other logs,

    (Glenn's DOK and Ron's Sphinx) plans and pictures I made my first attempt at rigging the crowsfeet.

    There were a few false starts, twisted and knotted line that had to be untangled numerous times,

    I finally completed the first of three crowsfeet.

    Thanks for stopping by!

     

  4. I've started working on the five stays. The all of the stays have a mouse on them. I've seen others make the mouse from a dowel which I copied. I drilled a hole down the center just slightly larger than the line, sanded them to shape, cut them off and painted them. I then served the lines below where the mouse will be. I then made the eye seizing it and sliding the mouse into place.

    Here are the fore and main preventor stays and the mizzen stay. Next I'll add the main and fore stays and then three sets of crowsfeet!
