rwiederrich Posted January 27, 2019 Author #752 Posted January 27, 2019 Rounding up a few more finishing details...like rope coils and paint touch up and adding the lower topsails reef points....then its time to move onto the main course. This is the largest sail ever bent on any clipper's main yard....no wonder her original crew number was well over 110 able seamen and 30 boys. With the size of these sails...you needed lots of hands.

vossiewulf Posted January 27, 2019 #756 Posted January 27, 2019 I'm kinda with Dowmer that that hook looks a little too light. Any chance you could find a size between this and the one you thought was too bulky?

rwiederrich Posted January 28, 2019 Author #757 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the acute observations. I used the average size wire I always use for these applications...because the detail is small and will only drive crazy those pesky ship model people.....I'll let this one slide. (I really hate redo's). However, if a blaring error pops up, I'm counting on all eyes to identify and alert. I know....it's what we do. Again, However, with that said, I will avoid using this light, wimpy wire for the remaining main and mizzen stays...not only for accuracies sake, but also for the sanity of my MSW friends.

rwiederrich Posted February 1, 2019 Author #775 Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks Michael. I threw that little jig together when I was building the Glory of the Seas yards, it's nice to move the clips around for different size yards. I use three different sizes of Alligator clips, with or without teeth..depending on what I'm working on. Saturday will be another big build day...so I hope to finish off the port mainstay and work my way up the mast and add more stays. After some study of how I want to progress, I realized, they need to be in place before I rig the fore mast halyards and their purchases. Once this is accomplished...I'll either move to add the jib stays or proceed to building up the mizzen mast yards and rigging. I hate to add the jib stays too early because they could be in the way of construction movement of the model.

rwiederrich Posted February 1, 2019 Author #778 Posted February 1, 2019 Reviewing some of my detailing...I owe an explanation to some why I use so much paint on rigging and such. From my own experiences and from that acquired by way of serious study...it was made clear to me that much standing rigging was coated in a heavy preservative. I've even assisted in its removal on the real McCoy. So, I've adopted the practice of coating my seizing's with ample preservative (paint). I hope my lazy, quick-shod technique of covering a multitude of sins is not a deterrent for the more ardent discrete of you. I truly am standing(or sitting at the work bench), with some of the most skilled, detailed acute, modelers ever assembled in one forum, and to have as many likes and positive comments about my build is truly amazing to me...I am deeply humbled and moved.
