Rustyj Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share #211 Posted October 29, 2017 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! albert, tlevine, GuntherMT and 17 others 20 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafine Posted October 29, 2017 Share #213 Posted October 29, 2017 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.

Rustyj Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share #215 Posted November 1, 2017 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! catopower, Erik W, BANYAN and 14 others 17 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druxey Posted November 1, 2017 Share #218 Posted November 1, 2017 Usually Burton pendant tackles were not permanently rigged, so their omission wouldn't be a screw-up! mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle17 Posted November 1, 2017 Share #219 Posted November 1, 2017 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 Ryland Craze and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyj Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share #220 Posted November 1, 2017 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. mtaylor, Canute, Trussben and 3 others 6 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyj Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share #221 Posted November 6, 2017 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. rafine, oneslim, druxey 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJSoane Posted November 6, 2017 Share #224 Posted November 6, 2017 Hi Rusty, I am just catching up on your build. What brand of red ochre did you use for the red?

Rustyj Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share #228 Posted November 9, 2017 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! mcpwilk, Canute, BANYAN 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share #234 Posted November 13, 2017 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.
