Rustyj Posted October 9, 2017 Author #185 Posted October 9, 2017 Hi all, I've completed the Bowsprit Guys. The thimbles are made from Albion Alloys thin walled brass tubing, 1.6mm. The guys are .025" rope served with #100 thread. As you can tell photography is not my strong suit. Need to work on it more! Next up is setting the mast and hanging the boom and gaff. druxey, mtaylor, GuntherMT and 20 others 23 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout

Rustyj Posted October 15, 2017 Author #194 Posted October 15, 2017 Hi All, Bit of a catch up here. I've set the mast and have rigged the gaff and boom. For the parrel I too used left over beads I had on hand. Mine were black though. So far so good and still having fun!

Rustyj Posted October 22, 2017 Author #204 Posted October 22, 2017 I've installed the Burton Pendants. They are served their entire length with a single block seized on the end. With the shrouds the forward shroud is served its entire length. The rest of the shrouds only have the portion around the mast head served down to just below the cheeks. The serving was all done on the Syren "Serv-o-matic". The deadeyes were turned in and light brown rope was used for the lanyard. As recommended the lanyards were just tied off so they can be re-tensioned later if needed.

rafine Posted October 24, 2017 #206 Posted October 24, 2017 Rusty, in looking back at your photos, I just noticed that you had the shrouds wrapped around the the top mast, rather than the head of the lower mast. Sorry, but I don't believe that can be right.
