S.Coleman Posted April 6, 2017 Author #94 Posted April 6, 2017 I tried fabric glue but that just didn't have the bond. So a very tacky white glue (PVA) dose the trick. I just hold the ratlines on the shroud until a bit if a bond gets underway and then I let it go and wait for it to set. Alternating each side.

S.Coleman Posted April 7, 2017 Author #96 Posted April 7, 2017 Ok, here's where I get confused. The previous photo shows the mizzen futtock shrouds looking way out of wack. But yet as I checked they are fine. See how photos draw your attention to possible errors.

S.Coleman Posted April 7, 2017 Author #97 Posted April 7, 2017 Soon i shall have all the standing rigging complete and I can move onto the yards and the running rigging with them. It might be a little bit exciting for you guys looking in. We have the holidays coming up so plenty of time to work on them. Cheers for all your likes so far.

S.Coleman Posted April 10, 2017 Author #100 Posted April 10, 2017 Bit of an update. Things are going a little slower. Fore mast is receiving more shrouds and doing the futtock shrouds as I go with them. Things look a bit like a birds nest but still have to tension things up. coxswain, Tallshiptragic, CaptainSteve and 2 others 5 Quote Regards, Scott Current build: 1:75 Friesland, Mamoli Completed builds: 1:64 Rattlesnake, Mamoli - 1:64 HMS Bounty, Mamoli - 1:54 Adventure, Amati - 1:80 King of the Mississippi, AL 1:64 Blue Shadow, Mamoli - 1:64 Leida Dutch pleasure boat, Corel - 1:60 HMS President Mantra, Sergal Awaiting construction: 1:89 Hermione La Fayette AL - 1:48 Perserverance, Modelers shipyard

S.Coleman Posted April 12, 2017 Author #103 Posted April 12, 2017 Well guys. I'm off on holidays tommorrow so won't be any posts of the Friesland for about a week. But I have Model shipworld on my phone so I'll still be reachable. Here is today's progress. More ratlines on the top of the main mast and more ratlines on the top fore mast.

coxswain Posted April 12, 2017 #104 Posted April 12, 2017 You're doing a great job here Mr. Coleman! Your choice of colors and sharp paint lines are really doing justice to this model. I've always been put off by Mamoli's box photos that seem to show an older, dusty model - you've restored my faith in them - I sold mine before I knew there was a fire at the factory - looking forward to seeing the rigging! Steve M Tallshiptragic, S.Coleman and CaptainSteve 3 Quote
S.Coleman Posted April 13, 2017 Author #105 Posted April 13, 2017 Thank you for your kind words Steve. I do know what you mean about the box photos. They do look rushed and tacky and old, But the model you build out of it is so much better looking. Some of my photos look blurry as I do all of my model ship worlding on my phone. Thanks for looking in.

The lower main yard starts off as 6mm and is Tapered down to 3.5mm the mid yard starts of as 4mm and is tapered down to 3mm with 2mms carved out at the ends. The main lower yard has to yet have its ends turned down.
