Evening all I decided today to re - do the bobstay on the bowsprit as the original was not tidy - so I cut away the old a re fitted some fresh ropes and blocks, then I tentioned them correctly - at the same time I fitted a fresh stay from the center of the bowsprit underneath and fitted around the forecastle railng. Looks a bit more supported now. Heres the pics - OC.

So - more ratlines to be done tomorrow then they will need a tidy up of thier ends, one thing did happen while I was working on them - I managed to break off the topgallant where it meets the topmast 🤧I was able to keep it in place due to the stays - I put loads of ca around the break and that seems to have done the trick........"Phewww.....🤞" OC.

Very nice work. OC.

Evening all, firstly sincere thanks to all the likes/followers and comments - so onwards and upwards with the ratlines on the foremast, I decided to fit them by eyeball rather than making a paper mask, seems straight forward enough - just tricky as you need six pairs of hands to tie/ tention and glue the lines around each shroud, getting the spacing is fairly easy to do though - I have been rotating from side to side. Just a few pics. OC.

I used it already on the dowels I put inside the masts (to strengthen them) yep - just a case of scraping using the curved insode section of the blade, Its very sharp and did a great job, the idea is to do the same after making on the dowel each end where to start tapering it. OC.

Thats a great repair - I remember always having the same problem with kits of Harriers - with thier fron screen. OC.
