JesseLee Posted March 7, 2018 Author #1037 Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks guys! Denis, my posting is a little behind from my actual work progress. I tend to get behind on the posting so when I finally do it looks like I suddenly did a lot of work in a short period of time. In reality I have been working on it and not posting like I should and my pictures are building up on the camera and then I start trying to catch up with my posting.

JesseLee Posted March 14, 2018 Author #1040 Posted March 14, 2018 Still trying to get caught up with my build log posting. Seems this Lyme is keeping me in sick bay more than the shipyard. Another bad bout with it this week and had to change a starter while sick, no fun. Anyway.....Served and eyed a rope end for the Main Stay. Tried the more elaborate way to make a mouse for it. I have never done this before so I just had to find out how hard it was. Got it done, completed the Mainstay/ lanyards hearts, etc. Even though the heart looks good this way up close under magnification, I just don't see the need for doing it this way at this scale. The next one will be much simpler- winding thread around to proper shape and glue/paint/whatever.

JesseLee Posted March 19, 2018 Author #1045 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks for all the encouragement and likes! Completed the Main preventer stay, Fore stay and the Fore preventer stay. Same process as the Main stay. I did a much simpler mouse for these and can't visually tell any difference. It was much easier to do the lanyards on the Fore stays because the location of the hearts. If only the rest of it could be this easy to get to, lol. I couldn't find any illustrations on the proper way to tie off the lanyards so I just did what I could on these.
