S.Coleman Posted July 31, 2017 Author #152 Posted July 31, 2017 There is a crane rigging set up between the fore and main mast which is the last step on the plans sheet No.9. Have had a good look at it before work and will start when I get home. Trying to get everything symmetrical will be a challenge. Pics will closely followed hopefully.

S.Coleman Posted July 31, 2017 Author #153 Posted July 31, 2017 So here we go. This crane/hoist set up was i bit tricky. I like things to be symmetrical but this is probaly not done on real ships. I think I got it close enough. The hooks of this hoist are connected to eye bolts in the deck either side of where the ships boats is stored. It seems go look good to me.

Ulises Victoria Posted August 1, 2017 #156 Posted August 1, 2017 Great work, Scott. I love your crane/hoist rigging. My Royal Louis has this item also, so I am taking notes!!!

S.Coleman Posted August 1, 2017 Author #157 Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks Ulises. The larger diameter rigging line is one length wrapt around the main mast and looped at either end and seized. Next I made up the two blocks attached to the fore mast and attached them to the large diameter rigging line using eyebolts. Lastly I attached the blocks and rigging that are attached to the deck next to the ships boats. Using that rigging I tensioned the whole assemble and belayed off. Ignore the large diameter rigging line that runs through the middle as this is one of the mainstays between the main mast and foremast. Hope this helps you get an idea of how I rigged mine.

zappto Posted August 7, 2017 #160 Posted August 7, 2017 Your making very good rigging, i like it is looking solid, does your deadeyes comes with the kit? Or you are using some other?

S.Coleman Posted August 10, 2017 Author #161 Posted August 10, 2017 Hello zappto. Thanks for checking in. Yes the Deadeyes are from the kit. Same as the blocks, Chain plates etc. The quality is not too bad. Just a little rub between some folded over sandpaper and they come you reasonably good.

S.Coleman Posted August 23, 2017 Author #164 Posted August 23, 2017 Well its almost time for Dad to leave. That means back to the Friesland soon.

Jean-Pierre Posted August 26, 2017 #165 Posted August 26, 2017 Your dad's question is typical and mostly is the friendliest a non-initiated can do! tThe underlying question is rather "how can you spend so much time on such a futile project... but there usually also is some respect in the question. Coming from your own dad, maybe the best answer would be: "dad, you know pretty well where I got the patience from..." Well done, and now: back to work! JP S.Coleman and CaptainSteve 2 Quote
S.Coleman Posted August 29, 2017 Author #166 Posted August 29, 2017 Haha. Can i not get a break. Have been posted to a place called Port Hedland for a little while😡😡😡. So no modeling. I was thinking of bringing up a few tools and the rest of the dowels so I can finish off the rest of the yards but it never happend. I guess you do have to be very patient in this hobby. There is really not alot to go. Just some running rigging etc. CaptainSteve 1 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
CaptainSteve Posted August 29, 2017 #167 Posted August 29, 2017 Happy Birthday for the 30th, Scott .... Having worked the FIFO lifestyle, I recommend packing those dowels the next time, along with a few tools.

S.Coleman Posted October 29, 2017 Author #169 Posted October 29, 2017 Well I finally got the ship back down off the shelf and readyed everything to continue. The diluted PVA glue was still runny in the container!! A good airtight seal. The next step is to attach the running rigging for the main and fore masts. Hopefully a pic soon.

S.Coleman Posted October 31, 2017 Author #172 Posted October 31, 2017 Thank you Zappto. Yes I only use a 50:50 mixture of white glue for all rigging.

Peter Bloemendaal Posted October 31, 2017 #174 Posted October 31, 2017 Hi Scott, I did FIFO to Port Hedland as well and lived there for over 6 years. My first attempt to wood modelling was during the first FIFO period where I thought I'd fix the boring evenings by doing some woodwork. There were no boring evenings and needless to say the modelling didn't end well... Very nice model by the way...
