jmcsys Posted December 15, 2015 Share #212 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I know this post is WAY late in the log, but I could not help but comment on your dingy from page 1. I dont know how much experience you have with 4 yr olds yet, but I've gone thru 3 of them. My children always acted like they were in their twenties. Now that they actually are (and beyond), they act like children again. In any case, the little things I made for them when they were small (and that they were'nt too impressed with at the time), are now worth more than gold. If yours is anything like, she will in time treasure her dingy too (assuming it survives playtime and the ravages of an admiral trying to clean and make space). Joe Magnificent build BTW.

Jparsley Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share #216 Posted May 11, 2016 Sorry guys after a five month hiatus I am finally getting back to the old girl I'm at the point where all that is left is the shrouds and the rigging So I started the pains taking process of making the shroud line on my machine Slow since it isn't motorized Any ways I have the shroud lines ran on the lower middle mast My question to you all is should I do the rat lines or wait till I have all the shroud lines in place on the other masts Once again sorry for the long wait Bobstrake, MarisStella.hr, heksanol and 2 others 5 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jparsley Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share #218 Posted May 11, 2016 Thank you mark It is good to be working on her Been waiting to recieve my period ship building book that I ordered in March I don't know enough about rigging to do a great job I'm winging it lol Should I start the rat lines or finish the lower shroud lines on the other masts first Canute 1 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 11, 2016 Share #219 Posted May 11, 2016 Jeff, I'd go with stays and shrouds and the bowspit lines before rats. Do all the masts from bottom to top before doing any running rigging. And then work one mast at a time for the running. I tend to hold off on the lower ratlines until the running rigging is mostly done as my fat fingers catch on everything. Many hold off securing the deadeye lanyards until the rigging is almost done as the shrouds tension may need some adjustment. For the shrouds and stays, go from the lower to the upper. For all this, including the running rigging, you'll have to try it and see what works best for you. Still waiting on the book? You might also check Tom's build out on the rigging... I'm not remembering how he did it.

Jerry's Admiral Posted May 23, 2016 Share #221 Posted May 23, 2016 Good morning, Jeff.. Just thought I'd catch a glimpse of your site. Nice job on the Connie..Couldn't help but notice the square blocks compared to the round ones, the only kind I've ever seen before. The gun port lids reminds me of Jerry's Victory.

toms10 Posted June 27, 2016 Share #236 Posted June 27, 2016 Jp, Just checking in to see how she is coming. Glad to see you back at it. I put all the standing rigging in first to "lock" all the masts in position including the shrouds. As far as the ratlines, the next time I do them I will wait until the running rigging is complete. It seems it would be easier to work and get into the belaying pins and such. If the running rigging ends up pulling something out of wack or loosens up a standing rigging line, I think it would be easier to retie the standing rigging line than redo the running rig line. Just my opinion. As Mark said earlier, everyone is different and you just go by "feel". Tom mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure. Finished: Charles W.

mtaylor Posted June 27, 2016 Share #239 Posted June 27, 2016 Jeff, Are you speaking of the sheer poles? (See the picture.. circled in red.). The easiest way is a spot of glue on the pole and hold it in position until things set up a bit. Then do the lines. More difficult is to tie some string to the pole, clip it into place and then tie it to the shrouds.
