patrickmil Posted February 18, 2013 Share #35 Posted February 18, 2013 You almost have this up to current now, don't you? I do remember some rigging being worked on before the upgrade though. Again, it's incredible about the weathering you do on your Supply.

Bahamas Diver Posted February 18, 2013 Share #37 Posted February 18, 2013 I agree with Sherry about the barnacles. You should describe your process for making them. I would be interested in learning your technique.

riverboat Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share #40 Posted February 18, 2013 Hi David: I'd be more than happy to explain the process of the barnacles, but It'll have to be after I finish with this posting crap. I'll tell you,if it han't been for the help of Aldo (rdsaplala), I'd probably still be crushing stone!! if I forget, drop me a PM. OK? Frank Hi Aldo: Thanks for your comments, looks like they like our barnacles!!!!! Hi Augie: Wish they were real, woud've saved me ( and Aldo ) alot of time. Man I'm getting re- posting out, I've got to get this finished, I've started to add the sails (furled) to the fore yards and I want to get back to them , they'er kind of fun to do. Hope fully I can caught up today. Frank Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

riverboat Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted February 18, 2013 Ok, back at it again, I'll try to keep things in sequince, so many pictures ,I don't know where I'm at half the time. First picture showing attached blocks to foremast top. Jib traveler, alot of the rigging sequince is not covered in the kit. DanVad's log has been a tremendous help as was Petersson 's book. next three pictures: fore shrouds attached and the ships boat finished start of fore shroud ratlines This one shows the fore mast stave being attached, after it was all finished (Imean all finished) I realized I installed it wrong, t should have been on the front of the shrouds not in back.I made sure I did it the righr way when I did the main mast. showing burton pendants Cartharpins on foremast Cleats shown attached to foremast shrouds dafi, canoe21, Mirabell61 and 1 other 4 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

riverboat Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share #42 Posted February 18, 2013 getting close..... lower rigging of forestay start and finish of foremast crowsfeet Following pictures will be of the mainmast rigging and the final stages of the standing rigging. I wanted to show this first picture to show the tacky glue, ( Aleene's) this works great when you attache the deadeyes to the shrouds.... it holds immediately notice how I attached the stave this time...... in front.... Not like the fore mast which is wrong!! catharpins lower main shrouds finished Had to throw this one in..... My first Inspection crew... the Capt seemed to be pleased!! I think these last few pictures will pretty much bring us up todate, so following this , I will bring an update as to where I'm at , Thanks for looking!!!! this picture shows the backstays bundled up.

popeye the sailor Posted February 19, 2013 Share #49 Posted February 19, 2013 beautifully done Frank......so glad to see your up to date. I'm still in the works with mine.....so far the America is the only one I have up and running. I also put the Gundalow and the M&M fun ship in the finished forum.......but in the worng one.....have to see if they can be moved. I like you dead eye jig.......I was wondering how I was going to do it on the Goth when I get to it. I had tried to order the dead eyes from a place in Florida......but they were a bust {idiots}. I'll order them from model expo, or somewhere a bit more well known and established. superb work on your rigging, my friend......your furled sail looks great! keep up the good work!

patrickmil Posted February 19, 2013 Share #55 Posted February 19, 2013 Now we're all caught up. The furled sail looks very nice. Your rigging is excellent as well and the color really matches up well with the weathering. It looks like you'll be done in no time so have you given any thought to your next project?

riverboat Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share #56 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Sjors : Yeah. I'm caught up to where I'm at in the build, I'll have some more updates after I get all the foremast yards sailed and attached. Aldo, you'er my mentor, without your help the barnacles would of never come to be. I like the morope too, it has a really nice look. The rigging my friend, is not as good as it shoud be, my foremast rigging was really a learning step. I'm more pleased with the main mast rigging, well ,I guess you live and learn. Patrick : Thanks for the comments, Iwas concerened with the look of the sail, thats why i posted the picture, to get some kind of feed back. I still have quite a bit to do, but when it's finished I have Krick's Alert that i plan to tackle. (no ratlines ) I popeye the sailor 1 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.
