    Next step the foremast topgalant yard.... Or leave it for later and start with the mainmast lower yard...??
  4. drtrap
    Despite my tries some pics are uploaded and 180 degrees rotated... Is that a browser problem, or something different?
  5. drtrap
    The same for the lower 5mm single block of the tackle of the topsail foremast yard rigging...

    Wishing a Happy New Year to everyone! I'm attaching some pics from my consecutive procedures for the rigging of the topsail foremast yard, in case of interest for newer Snake followers Thank you

    Trying to find my way for the foremast topsail and especially the topsail yard tyes attachments... :(( I think I need a couple of suggestions from a mate of a more advanced level and skill. The most important: * looking at the plans I'm seeing at the same exactly place the attachment of both the foremast backstays and foremast yard-tyes... Which one is the right? Pettersson plan (page 40) cannot help on that. What;s the advice of more experienced people? Jason, Jim?? Thank you

    Hi guys First of all let me wish you the best for these holy days and a Happy and Safe coming New Year. I'm attaching some pics showing my progress regarding the rigging of the lower foremast yard

    Jason, you a master! A master of naval architecture and in the same time a master of photography!! Cheers Stergios

    Next step is to maintain the right proportion for the sling and the relative attachments

    Hi guys, I'm still here after so many days. Trying now to start and establish the right steps to attach the lower yard of the fore mast. A couple of pics trying to set according to Petterson the slin of that yard. Thank you

    Hi Phil Unfortunatelly the full gallery of those pics is lost those-days of the msw data-base black out. What exactly are looking for?
  17. drtrap
    Cheers Jason. May I ask you, finally have you worked the yards from top down or the opposite? Thanks Stergios
  18. drtrap
    Echo that, Vane! Thank you

    So sad to realize that I have'nt place those jeers blocks in advance... Once again so dissapointed with the plans of the model and the company in general

    Hi guys. I have accomplished the bowsprit mast and the relative fittings. Pictures to follow… Shifting now to the last session, the yards. Thinking to go with the main (lower) yard of the fore-mast. What’s the best option to start with? Dry-fixing the yard on the mast (using the predrilled yard hole and relative mast pin) as my 1st step? Something else from your experience? Thank you
  21. drtrap
    Nice work Eamonn!!
  22. drtrap
    Now it’s quite visible from you photo, Jason. Many thanks for replying se promptly!

    Now i’m seeing a starboard (only) hole, probably for the 1mm stay..
  24. drtrap
    Hi again Jason and thank you for the comment. Finally I'm seeing that I need to prepare one (or maybe two ?) additional lines for the topmast stay and preventer stay despite the fact that the plans show only one single line (no mouse, nothing to help... ) ... According to Petersson one mouse is needed for each stay and probably the "classic" procedure by "serving" the ropes... * I dont know whether you have any different opinion. * The point I can't understand till now is the way we attach and tie those lines on the bowsprit mast... Ani idea? Thank you

    Hello to everyone. Just a couple of pics from my recent stages. I have finished the rigging of the bowstring mast [some details in need of touch up for later].. Next and final step: the yards. I'll start from the foremast working upwards on each consecutive mast. I've left for later only the ropes of fore and fore top-mast stay and preventer stay, just to have a better working-space for the fore mast yard. If you believe I go wrong, I'll be glad to see your comments. Cheers
