The Danish Ensign hoisted "Dannebrogen"
-
More sails.
-
Bowsprit rigging.
-
Over to standing rigging.
-
Here is this gaff finished and the mast winches.
-
The boom dry fitted and a bit naked. I later trimmed down the reeve boards at the end. Here a bit more crowded with tackles of various functions.
-
Ironwork for the mast. Comparison between suppliend and scratch made jaws.. Soldered, blackened and waiting to be installed. Dressed with blocks also.
-
Over to mast and spar making. The supplied rod for the boom was too thin so I made my own. Provided mast hoops was of plastic, replaced. Other mast rings and boom rests also plastic, needed replacement. And yes, the mast had the shape of an bow that would make Robin Hood happy...replaced.
-
Chainplates installed.

ok, I guess the sw has the limit at 25 posts a page. The old one had 10 so this is better. Need to keep the posts a little shorter though. A quick "how to" I turned the dead eyes. There are various ways of setting the diameter. Since I only have a wood lathe, this is what I use. Mark the thickness of the eye.
-
I would assume that the sw wanted to change page now, but not. Interesting. Next was produce the dead eye strops. To drill holes in dead eyes this is a fairly common setup (with variations)
-
I tried my luck at some jigs also. First a jig to aid drilling on narrow strips.
-
Other small stuff that I did apart from cleats, were blocks and bulls eyes. For the bullseye I used a rod of suitable diameter, drilled out the centre and squeezed into an eye bolt. The main sheet horse and block All of a sudden it appeared that I had a visitor in my yard... The crowbar was a bit worrying I thought... Next up was chain-plates and deadeyes.. After blackening.

I can't really see how it works until you have something in three dimensions. Note, I don't say that it don't work, I just can't figure it out from the plan. -

The ships boats are just (like the rest of the build) exquisite (Mozilla's spell checker helped me with that word ) a silent "oh, my gosh" sips through my lips when I browse all you images. Great!

Yes, the common truth, "you don't know what you've got until you loose it" was very apparent during MSW's downtime... Michael, I did an ordinary search for my log, using some keywords, like Regina, Wintergreen, and so. In the resulting list, there was some kind of preview pane that had a link called "cached". It was the full first page of my build log. I now tried to find yours and Google came up with this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4tYLYwcToxEJ:modelshipworld.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php%3Fp%3D346150%26sid%3De3072b6fbd26850c1dd798e1389e7f17+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=se&client=firefox-a Looks like the last page of your log...

Thanks Carl! I'm not done with the rebuild of my log yet so there will be more to follow later (read tomorrow). /Håkan

Hi Robert, thanks for the kind words about the pins....boy, which wood? The first attempt was from ordinary tooth picks, but they turned out to be too soft. The 2nd and final attempt was made from the same wood as everything else scratch built on my Regina. Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure of what it is since I inherited the slabs of wood with the workshop...my best guess is pear (probably Swedish though). It is very close grained and hard. /H
-
Robert, glad you are back! If you keep this speed you will be done in no-time Orestes looks great in that soft light. Cheers! Håkan

What I also replaced was the pinrails. I did not use the very soft supplied strips of wood or the turned brass pins. The scale is 1:30 (close to 3/8" - 1'), and easy to work with. A long way down the road I realised that I was too close in tolerance between the pin and the hole...some careful work with the Dremel's flexi-shaft and a small hammer solved the obnoxious pins though. A insane close-up of cleats I can only take credit for the actual performance of the work, not for the steps of doing things. All the ideas I picked up through various logs on the old site, through work of others.
