DCIronfist Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share #373 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Seems I have not checked in here in a while. I may have pictures in a few days. I have got the masts and spars ready to be rigged. I am running into some tough going with holding on the lower round pieces onto the round mast. I actually drilled a hole and put a pin In to help line it up since it just would not stay. I've put in some time but really don't feel I have much to show for it so be patient and I will get pictures eventually. : :) I have also been fixing pieces that just did not want to stay glued together.....

DCIronfist Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share #378 Posted February 12, 2015 ok so I have been thinking of this area for a while now.. I found this and cut it off the body from it... I painted it with a krylon gold leaf I then proceeded to mount my dragon figurehead And here is a side view I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I was very nervous but glad I went through with it. Any and all comments are appreciated :) GTM, Shazmira, GuntherMT and 4 others 7 Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIronfist Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share #379 Posted February 14, 2015 Ok question time. I'm about to get to the scary ropes section and am not quite sure where the fore shrouds are tied off to. Would someone mind helping me with this? Thanks I am asking about line 224 Thanks again.

Adrieke Posted February 14, 2015 Share #380 Posted February 14, 2015 hello David looks very good, love the dragon head. I d colour the eyes and nostrils to make them stand out about the shrouds I am not an expert either but I assume they ll be tied around the 6 larger deadeyes augie 1 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIronfist Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share #381 Posted February 15, 2015 Yes adrieke on the bottom they tie to the deadeyes but on top they just sort of stop lol Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrieke Posted February 15, 2015 Share #382 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) lol sorry google the following : shroud pair youtube you should get a link to 3 videos : on how to tie the shroud pairs I would put the links in but I just cant do them from IE 11 Edited February 15, 2015 by Adrieke DCIronfist 1 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted February 15, 2015 Share #383 Posted February 15, 2015 Hopefully Adrieke's video straightens you out. Shrouds typically run in pairs...from a deadeye up to the mast top, around and then back down to the next deadeye. Sometimes, a single will run from a deadeye on one side of the ship to one on the other side.

DCIronfist Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share #384 Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the info. Now I have the information and must decide on doing it the right way or cheating and just running them over to other side and pairing them together that way :) Adrieke and augie 2 Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIronfist Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share #385 Posted February 18, 2015 So here is the main mast ready to be installed getting close to rigging........ GTM and Adrieke 2 Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted February 18, 2015 Share #386 Posted February 18, 2015 Looks good. Just one thing. I don't know how you've connected the spars to the masts. Normally, I leave them off until the masts are fixed in place, the shrouds all installed and all the ratlines put in. I find that the spars just get in the way and I usually poke an eye out working on the shrouds. It's great to have everything ready to go but I like to have the lower masts finished before I move up to the higher masts. Then on to the spars. Whatever works best for you.

DCIronfist Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share #387 Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah the masts are glued down hopefully not to come off lol. That's 's for the advice and I will keep the safety glasses on hand for the attempted try. I will inform of the progress..... augie 1 Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGraham Posted February 18, 2015 Share #389 Posted February 18, 2015 Hi David, I just found your build. What wonderful clean work! That dragon head is a wonderful touch. When you install the shrouds, you work with alternating pairs of shrouds, starting at the forward starboard side and moving aft. The first pair you put on should be the forward ones on the starboard side. The loop formed by that pair will sit at the bottom of the pile of shrouds at the lower masthead. On top of those goes the loop formed by the first pair on the port side. On top of those goes the next pair on the starboard side, then the next on the port, etc. The loops are seized together and wormed and served to a few feet below the masthead. I hope this makes sense. Great, imaginative build!
