Hi Janet Cornwall Model Boats for after market fittings.
-
Hello again how you probably remember I've attached temporarily main topmast main & preventer stay (see #821 pics). To continue to the other main and preventer stays I need to have the bowsprit mast in place..... What's your suggestion, 1] to place and fix permanently the bowsprit mast first and 2] fix the other fittings of the area (boomkin, etc) and 3] drill the stem for the respective holes afterwards, or to proceed with adifferent way? Thank you. Stergios

I have'nt any experience using enamel colors. To my knowledge, vallejo's matt black color is all I needed all this time...

Hi Kostas, thank you for intro comments. Welcome to the club. Any special build interest?
-
Hi again. Thank you all for the comments and "likes". Cheers.

It was a really difficult night, trying to change and adjust the docking point of the fore mast preventer stay block as to not interfere with the catharpins. Photos to follow...
-
Thank you Jason. Btw, have you looped the topgallant shrouds the same way you used for the topmast and lowermast? Cheers.
-
This "J" 5mm single block makes my building life difficult as interferes with the fore mast catharpins. I'm thinking to move it a little bit higher (photo), but I'm not sure for the later steps and especially for the placement of the yard..
-
Hi Dave, and thanks. There are three pairs of topgallant shrouds. I'm thinking (for the mo) to simply tie them between the mast using half-hitch knots and around the futtock staves as i did for the topmasts. Peterson drawings and web literature can't helm me to find the most accurate way: looped shrouds, zip seized shrouds etc...

Thank you Jason, I've seen the drawing on page 11 showing the topgallant shrouds dropped (in a loose way ?) to the deadeyes... Could you show me any relative photo from your model?
-
Hi all! Is there any specific way to tie the three pairs of the shrouds to the top gallant masts? Thanks.

Proud to have all topgallant masts in place. Sometimes I feel that I'll find time to finish her....

Knots of capstan to tie the twin "H" blocks. Watered pva to secure.

Hey guys, I've two basic questions for you: 1) should I place any sisters or blocks up here? 2) blocks H and line E should be placed above or below the respective topgallant mast shrouds? Thank you in advance.
-
Hi Jason, I'm thinking to place the topgallant masts now. I feel tha it's time for this.
-
Thank you Dave, and how did you attach those wire catharpins to the futtock staves?
-
Next step the catharpins, but really there is no space for catharpins up here. I think to leave the futtock staves as they are and to proceed to the placement of the fore and main topgallant masts. If you have no objection, I consider that as my next step. Cheers. Stergios

The procedure is done. A little touch up and micro-trimming is pending... Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone!

Well after all, I've a tendency to put shroud cleats only on the rear shrouds of the fore topmast and main topmast. I still don't know how accurate is this.

Thank you again Dave. Merry Christmas!
