toms10 Posted November 18, 2015 #188 Posted November 18, 2015 Jeff, Those head timbers came out nice. I found that part a bit difficult, especially the curved pieces attached to the bow.

Jparsley Posted November 18, 2015 Author #189 Posted November 18, 2015 Rigged up the anchors Broke my tiny drill bit so I can't place the front port doors but that will be the last thing on the body of the ship I need to do Next is making the masts Wish me luck lol UpstateNY, Canute, Jack12477 and 4 others 7 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
Jparsley Posted November 19, 2015 Author #190 Posted November 19, 2015 Tom I found them to be probably the most time consuming and stressful part of this build Get them off sync and it looks like crud I do have to say they aren't as pretty as yours turned out but I am very happy and glad they are done Bobstrake, mtaylor, Dimitris71 and 3 others 6 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley

Jparsley Posted November 22, 2015 Author #198 Posted November 22, 2015 Ok bowsprit is finished Tried to add a little extra rope work that that the plans didn't show but picked up from other build logs Not installing it or masts till probably late January or February due to we will be moving back to Texas I figured the ship would have a hard time making the long trip so everything mast related will be done off ship Bobstrake, Canute, src and 4 others 7 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
mtaylor Posted November 22, 2015 #199 Posted November 22, 2015 Looking good, Jeff. That's a good idea in holding on stepping the masts. I hope your move goes well..

Jparsley Posted November 24, 2015 Author #201 Posted November 24, 2015 Ok guys now this part of the build I have really enjoyed The mizzenmast is completed and ready for installation the hardest part I found was tapering the mast and getting them to match the pattern Of course as everyone knows the blocks that are supplied are of poor shape and quality so I did have to reshape them into oval type shape but overall making the mast was fairly straightforward toms10, Jack12477, Dimitris71 and 5 others 8 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
Jparsley Posted November 26, 2015 Author #202 Posted November 26, 2015 OK guys quick update the mizzenmast is completed all that's left is the standing rigging in the running rigging and all that mess need to add the sails But all the yard alarms are on I even trade seizing up the rope that holds at the bottom yard that was interesting tight squeeze any comments please let me know Bobstrake, toms10, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
Dimitris71 Posted November 26, 2015 #203 Posted November 26, 2015 Hello Jeff, beautiful work on the mast and yards...I have no experience with yards...The first time i will try to fitting yards on the masts it will be on my current build!!

Jparsley Posted December 6, 2015 Author #205 Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Hey guys and gals Ran out of my single hole blocks I've ordered them but waiting for them to come in So I took advice from a couple of chaps on another string and decided to change my mast woolings I gues they are called the brass rings on the masts and bowsprit to rope to make it a little more traditional looking So here is the out come Edited December 6, 2015 by Jparsley UpstateNY, toms10, Aussie048 and 4 others 7 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
