Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Rustyj - FINISHED - 1:48 Scale

[Rustyj]

Ok lets see here moving along I placed and the lower backstay and the fiddle block is from Syren Ship Modeling.

 

 

Oh wait a minute I seem to be forgetting something.

 

Oh yes my brain cramp that Bob was so observant and luckily pointed out. Thanks again Bob!

 

I removed all the lower shrouds and  burton pendants. Of course I had to re-make all of them!

So I got a lot of additional practice on the Serve O Matic serving new shrouds and pendants.

So now the new set of shrouds have been re-installed correctly and I'm back on track.

That is until the next brain cramp occurs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Derek C]

Very nice and clean

[rafine]

Sorry again to have been the bearer of bad news, but this looks much better.   BTW, you are hardly alone in having brain cramps. I thought that I had the monopoly on them.

 

Bob

[Rustyj]

Thanks Derek! Thanks for all the likes. Hopefully nobody will have to "unlike" this time!

 

Bob I can't thank you enough. Keep up the quality control, Please!

[Rustyj]

Here I have completed the sling.

 

 

Then I served the fore stay, seized the splice and the lanyard wove through the 5-hole deadeye at the other end.

 

 

 

I noticed during the turmoil of the shroud screw up I forgot to add the tackle to the burton pendants  so I'll go back and do that next! 

[albert]

Very nice work Rusty.

[mobbsie]

Good fix Rusty.

 

I love your rope work mate, really clean and tidy.

 

She's looking a real treat, a real credit to the skills your showing here.

 

Be Good

Usually Burton pendant tackles were not permanently rigged, so their omission wouldn't be a screw-up!

[Thistle17]

Looking back to our recent meeting I can't believe we missed the rigging problem Bob highlighted. Many eyes were present but few were seeing as we were focused on the model beauty. Knowing your demeanor I assume you took it in stride with little frustration. And with your usual expertise and dispatch you have moved on! Great work Rusty!

Joe

[Rustyj]

Thanks albert, mobbsie and all the likes!

 

Thanks druxey, Chuck mentioned that the burton pendant tackles were "normally' not

rigged but thought it would be nice to show them rigged so I'm following his example.

 

Joe, there are so many oops in my builds that I chuckle more then yell. That is when it's

found early. If that had been found after the ratlines had been done some creative cussing

may have been in order.

[Rustyj]

Well after the shroud debacle I'm back on track and all of the pesky ratlines have been added to the shrouds.

 

Also all the lines were re tightened prior to adding the ratlines. Now I have to remove the excess and add the rope coils.

 

 

 

 

 

[Chuck]

Looking really good Rusty!!! 

[Rustyj]

Thanks Dirk and Chuck! Also all the "likes" too.

[SJSoane]

Hi Rusty,

 

I am just catching up on your build. What brand of red ochre did you use for the red? And I didn't see how you colored the wales and other black stuff.

 

Best wishes,

 

Mark

 

[Rustyj]

Hi Mark. All the paints I used were Admiralty Paints.

Red Ochre, dull black and flat black were the colors. 

 

Thanks Rusty

[rafine]

I'm glad that I can get back to just saying "beautiful work Rusty". 

 

Bob

[Rustyj]

LOL no one is happier than me Bob! Your job isn't over until i finish though. 

[Rustyj]

The topmast shrouds and the topmast stay have been added. All lines have

had their tension adjusted, tied off and the rats nest of excess line has been

removed. Rope coils have been added too. That completes the standing

rigging and we're heading towards the finish!

 

 

 

 

 

 

[alde]

Nice clean work. She looks great.

[Thistle17]

You are a "trip" Rusty! Your work makes my heart skip a few beats when on dispaly! Your work speaks volumes for your craftmanship and due diligence.

[Rustyj]

Thank you for the kind words Al and Joe. Also thanks for the likes. 

[BANYAN]

That is really nice work Rusty; another gem from your dockyard - be sure to give the crew an extra rum ration!

 

cheers

 

Pat

[Rustyj]

Thanks Pat, 

 

The crew has a bit of a taste for Irish Whiskey right now but will definitely appreciate the extra ration.  

[Rustyj]

I've completed the Foresail Halliard, Jib Halliard and the inhaul and outhaul.

 

Hard to see in these pics but they are there.

 

Sorry Bob but you're really gonna have to strain to proof these.

 

 

 

 

Here is the lower yard sling and the sling in place on the yard.

 

 

 

As I made both yards earlier I'm hoping to make a good deal of progress in the next couple of days.

[rafine]

Nothing to say but "perfect" Rusty. 

 

Bob

[Rustyj]

Ah thanks Bob. That makes me feel much better! Thanks for all the likes too!

[BANYAN]

Nice work Rusty; the detail on that lower sling is stunning.

 

cheers

 

Pat

[Rustyj]

Thanks Pat. Just following Chucks teachings! 

[Rustyj]

The main yard has been placed and the braces and lifts attached and tightened. 

 

I'll add rope coils once I finish the top sail yard and make sure everything is snug.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[druxey]

Sweet! She is looking very nice indeed, Rusty.
