well i completed the fore mast lower yard truss pendants, and feel i have got away with it, deck blocks also forgotten, but dont appear on the plans anyway rigging them lines into position not the best phot but the yard is quite tight against the mast a large amount of lines have now been secured into position and secured, so looks a lot tidier,

i was gutted when i found out, as i had pinned all the yards to keep them in position, i realised when i was putting the leech lines in and thought, what stops the real spars from moving forward it is doable and i have now completed 2 of the 3 on the fore mast, But i am definitely suffering from not sticking to a plan and forgetting where i was over such a long term build,

So far into the build, just as I am getting very tight for space, and today I realized I have not fitted any truss pendants or parrals to any of the spars, %^%*%%%

lovely work have a look at Gill middletons build, i love the way he approached his sequence of rigging, the Longbridge book is essential IMHO i have started my build so many times i dont know where i started rigging first, and no where good enough to give advice i would point out that the bowspirit is going to be a real pain for now as it tends to hit everything

coming to the end of my 1/72 build of the Victory, and i was asked a question about it on another site, "how did 18th century sailors know what rigging went where" subject to the masters fine tuning, if two identical ship were built would each line go in the same position and tied off at the same point how were young sailors taught this as i quess very few could read so basically he is asking how would a young sailor know what rope to handle if told to do a specific job

Just caught up with your build and like the way the material hatch cover has turned out,

for rigging depending on what you intend to achieve, you could get away with 0.25. 0.5, and 1.0 mm threads

your Paypal account should be easy enough to sort out with a password reset, providing you know the email account associated with it, but nice to see you are getting back on with the build, i have just had a nice long four day weekend off with all plans to continue the rigging, absolutely nothing got done as visitors arrived (yep for 4 days}

Did you pay through Paypal, thats another protection method to avoid loosing through these scams
