marktiedens Posted January 7, 2019 Author #243 Posted January 7, 2019 Hi everyone - a little more progress. All the shrouds are now done. The hooks on the futtock shrouds were leftovers from a previous build. Now on to the ratlines. Mark zappto, GrandpaPhil, muratx and 11 others 14 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways

marktiedens Posted January 22, 2019 Author #246 Posted January 22, 2019 Hi - a little update. Mizzen lower ratlines done. Fore & main lower ratlines half done(seems to take forever). I am using just regular sewing thread for them,a bit fiddly to work with,though. Hard to get them to "hang"just right. The thread is a little fuzzy,but not noticeable at normal viewing distance. I am coating them with diluted white glue,which lays down a lot of the fuzz. I didn`t want them too white,so a medium brown thread was used.

marktiedens Posted January 23, 2019 Author #248 Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks Michael. I`m actually trying to rush through this so I can get to a much nicer ship build. Once the ratlines are done it should go a bit faster. Mark Old Collingwood and Sjors 2 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways
marktiedens Posted January 30, 2019 Author #249 Posted January 30, 2019 Update - all lower shrouds done As I continue with the topmast shroud ratlines,I am wondering if the topgallant shrouds should have ratlines. The plans show ratlines on the topgallant shrouds,but almost every ship I`ve seen do not have ratlines on the topgallant shrouds. Any opinions are welcome!

fmodajr Posted January 31, 2019 #250 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Nice job on the ratlines Mark! I think you are spot on with the scale of the ratline line vs the shroud. Sorry, I can't help you with the issue of topgallant shrouds ratline or not. As you point out, i've seen many ship models without. thanks, Frank Edited January 31, 2019 by fmodajr Old Collingwood 1 Quote
marktiedens Posted January 31, 2019 Author #251 Posted January 31, 2019 Thanks Frank - I am leaning toward not ratting the topgallant shrouds. If you look closely,there are some shiny areas on the shroud ropes(crappy kit rope)so I am dulling down the shrouds with diluted white glue along with trying to form the ratlines a little smoother - a little difficult with this fuzzy thread. My next ship will get Syren rope! Mark Old Collingwood 1 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways
marktiedens Posted February 23, 2019 Author #252 Posted February 23, 2019 Hi - after a little break,all the ratlines are now done. I have decided not to rat the topgallant shrouds. Mark fnick, GrandpaPhil, fmodajr and 12 others 15 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways

petervisser Posted February 26, 2019 #261 Posted February 26, 2019 Great job so far Mark. These 3 masted ships with all their rigging are not for the faint of heart. The nice thing about this stage of the build is that it's easy to see some progress each day. But whatever you do, don't try to envision the whole stage...

marktiedens Posted February 27, 2019 Author #263 Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks Peter & dragzz. If I remember right, this is the 18th 3 master I`ve done - all of them different,most probably incorrectly,due to a lack of knowledge & poor plans. I wish this forum was around back when I did most of them. Mark zappto and Old Collingwood 2 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways

marktiedens Posted February 28, 2019 Author #270 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Frank - I occasionally put the reverse attachment on my vacuum & blow them clean. I don`t have any pets,so no worries there. O.C. - yes, it is a real forest of masts & yards. There are 12 ships on that table,3 more in my living room,& 1 more in one of my bedrooms! I have given a few away & it looks like I need to get rid of a few more. I`ve been thinking of giving some of the older,not-so-nice ones a proper funeral after stripping off some of the reusable fittings. If you are wondering about the Admiral,there is none. I have been single since 1980,so what better to occupy my time! Mark Edited February 28, 2019 by marktiedens JpR62, dragzz, Tom E and 2 others 5 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways
