Hennie Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share #151 Posted October 11, 2016 @Sjors I know you only give comment and pls keep doing that in the future ;) I saw that the Stays of the main mast and the stays of the fore mast have two seizes. 2.0 and 2.5mm. I think 2.5 is a bit overdone. When I visited you and Anja in Bleiswijk, I saw you used the 2.5mm rope to fix the Closed Heart blocks of the main stay to the bowsprit and you used the 2mm rope for the stays and that looked really nice! I decided I wil use the 2mm for the main and fore mast stay and the 1.5mm rope for the main preventor and the fore mast preventor stay. I already ordered some 1.5mm rope at Morope. Got a mail back he is on a vacation to Sweden and he will send me the rope within 2 weeks . So when I finished the shrouds and the main stay, I will have to do something else. Well, I will start to do some ratlines of the mizzen mast and main mast... :) So no chance to get bored :D Hennie Elijah, Piet, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennie Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share #156 Posted October 12, 2016 @W.Joe @Scott @Elijah Thx for your nice words. About the painting: of course its a reproduction. Cant afford the real one :D Dont know the artist but whats more important, the ship on the right is the HMS Agamemnon fighting against a French ship.

Hennie Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share #157 Posted October 31, 2016 As you can see I didnt update for a few weeks. Thats because I am very very busy with things in and arround my house.

Hennie Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share #158 Posted November 20, 2016 At last, after 6 weeks an update.... I did some roping on the main mast. I am really satisfied how the snake looks (my first time). I have decided that I will use black rope for the ratlines. Ratlines of natural rope are almost invisible against a white wall. And they say you have to blacken the ratlines with Indian Ink! The only reason they advice using natural rope is that black rope is a lot stiffer. Well, I use black rope (0.25mm) of Morope and this rope isn't stiffer as I found out.

S.Coleman Posted November 20, 2016 Share #161 Posted November 20, 2016 Most beautiful work. I love the seizing around the hearts in your last photo. That crows feet rigging sure has come up great.
