Good evening everyone big lesson learnt i didnt mess up, but i did try to go my own way on this build and work fwd to aft on the rigging, well im not clever enough for that, and lost my way, i will always remember the fact the sequence of rigging is for a reason, nothing is lost or damaged, just looks a mess at present untill i catch up so i am back to plan 16 with just some upper ratlines to do, and then move onto 17 and progress the main and mizzen backstays

good morning everyone day 359-48 i have never ever classed myself as a good modeler, messy/untidy, and lack of attention to detail spring to mind, but i love the hobby, and the satisfaction of (i did that) i also share my attempts with others that are interested, therefore most of my posts are shared with two other forums Flory, and Locate and cement, formally All Scale Modeller) , and Facebook, in the forums which are mainly plastic i have been asked to detail some of the rigging lines, so here goes, main yard/spar with all blocks and lines ready to fit, the mast and spar have been drilled and pinned the pinning allows the spar to be placed intro position, and ease handing the spar is support by large blocks called Jeers and slings to keep the main spar against the mast, a series of ropes called truss are used, and the lines that keep them in place are called the truss pendant the line above it stops the slack in the line and is called the nave the jeers and now laced up

indy day 355 - 48 good evening everyone appologies to anyone following my logs that this has not been so informative or descriptive, been a combination of puppy training, DIY, and taking advantage of building where i can rather than posting, saying why i haven't done anything lol anyway good progress was made with the backstays and the jeer pendants lift stays etc, and although it took a while i got the truss pendants to look ok, a lost a couple of days when that broke and i had to remove the yard and do again i will tomorrow try and do a line recognition photo, someone asked me to do one like i did with my Vic build

good evening everyone, day 344-48 sorry about the pants photos, but now the freezer has moved out of the mancave, and its waining, so no wheelie bin, plus the mancave has had a bit of a sort out so i have to find somewhere to take the shots for tonight spent some time tidying up the front end, but even tonight i see the spirit yard is not sitting right i will label up a lot of the lines in the next day or so but today was sorting out the fore mast truss, i have to cut the lines to the jeers to do that, serves me right for not doing it in order (again) horses still to be sorted, but in the right place and lots of loose ends still
