Admitting I'm a shipyard slacky is the easy part....trying to show work, where none has been done is a trick for a magician. I just wanted to let my model brethren know I wasn't just being lazy.... My wife inherited the house, and it needed lots of TLC and some serious upgrades. Here is a pic just after I installed new vinyl windows and removed the old nasty single pain aluminum windows.. No porch roof/veranda or French doors/roof. I the pic I just removed the old 5X6 single pain aluminum window, and replaced with a 6X6...and I removed the old laundry room 2X5 window and replaced with a 3X6. getting ready for the roof. It was just a big flat ugly wall with mismatched T1-11. Had to move electric and completely rebuild the underneath of the big window...lots of dry rot.

rwiederrich Posted October 24, 2019 Author #1056 Posted October 24, 2019 Slowly returning to work on the GR...I(without images)..ran the mizzen upper topsail halyard purchase rigging....with its blocks resolving at the crab winch. I began to think about working on the main mast pennant rigging before I get to far with the braces and will find internal access a nightmare. So I made the first cap block with the internal sheave for the pennant line and I ran the silk line down to....what? I then decided to create...what seamed to me to be practical, a pennant rail, that rests along side the main cabin and the aft cabin(for the mizzen). It occurred to me that these pennant purchases needed to be of a single circular line so the sailor could raise and lower the pennant with ease. Installing the rails with their stanchions was a real trick...working deep within the miles of rigging and tackle..drilling deck holes and securing them. I still need to paint them and belay the pennant line to them....but everything is run. The line itself is extremely small silk....lending itself to scale and the purpose. the union Jack will fly at this mast. The house flag at the mizzen and the national flag at the gaff. Just to let everyone know...I will be off the net for a week or so....my father suffered a heart attack and is in need of a bypass...so I'm flying South to attend to him. See everyone in a couple of weeks.

rwiederrich Posted November 18, 2019 Author #1064 Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks everyone. It's been a while. I will add some rope coils to the pennant rail before I finish with work deep inside the weather deck. It's a real bear working that far inside and around so much running rigging. I'll probably finish up the topsail and lower topsail braces as well as the main course braces, before I flip the ship and work on the other side. Without the spanker mast mounted it is waaay easier to work the rigging of the mizzen and main mast braces.

rwiederrich Posted December 17, 2019 Author #1065 Posted December 17, 2019 The holidays have been keeping me busy with so many other things(wonder why?) My hope and plan is while I am off from work for the holidays, I plan on spending some good quality time working on the GR. I'll have several days to myself and to dedicate to the shipyard. One of my gifts to my sweetheart is remodeling her large laundry room...by adding in new built in cabinets and uppers...… Lots of painting and cabinet mods to do to customize the space for her particular use. See....she bakes cakes, and the tubs and plastic rollways just won't cut it any longer. I said ENOUGH! So that has been taking any time I ever have left. I did, however, recently add the leach lines and blocks for the jackstay yard, but failed to post images(what was I thinking?). I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and is ready for Christmas.

rwiederrich Posted December 29, 2019 Author #1080 Posted December 29, 2019 Finally I gave the boom and gaff a wash of tongue oil to even up its color and to preserve it. Rigging the sails will be done off the model as is my habit. A bit more details to finish up before then. Thanks for all the likes and views.
