Old Collingwood Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share #601 Posted February 23, 2019 I have been really enjoying the rigging the last few days - its been more pleasurable than I thought it would be, but folks you will have to miss me from tonight till next tuesday as our electric (pre payement meters) is due to run out tomorrow and my laptop needs to be plugged in due to a defective battery so we will have to sit in the dark with our candles, no tely for the admiral either (she aint happy) so dont worry folks like Terminator says - "I will be Back" Roll on tuesday.

Old Collingwood Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share #603 Posted February 23, 2019 So - with my build - I will have to continue the shrouds for the foremast - before I get around to doing that would it make sense to tension the mast by running a temporary thread down to the last deadeye (that does not have a shroud attached) my thinking is it will keep a even tension for all the shrouds sharing the same channel.

Old Collingwood Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share #610 Posted February 24, 2019 The only pearl wood kits I have seen are pirated and not welcome on here I understand and I am not skilled enough to scratch build one, I will use what I am learning with rigging the this pearl - and put it into my two other builds - the one thing I have learned from my model of the pearl - I think my Greyhound is too scale width (short) her scale beam should be wider I think as she looks far too narrow.

Old Collingwood Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share #613 Posted February 28, 2019 Evening all - more progress on the pearl, I decided before I could continue with the foremast shrouds - that it would make sense to build and fit the mizzen mast including the two sets of lifting blocks, after painting and weathering I glued it in place. Next I turned my attention to the foremast - the idea is to brace both sides and forward so its tentioned correctly for the rest of the shrouds, I did this with a length of thread wraped around the head and ran down each side tentioned and tied, this is just a temporary line and will be cut away when all the fore-shrouds are inplace.

Old Collingwood Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share #615 Posted March 1, 2019 Evening all, a bit more progress on the pearl today - my next move was to create the mizzen - main stay block, this was again done using the kit plastic blocks that where laced with black thread while still attached to the fret, after attaching and adding a few dabs of ca, I then painted the block assembly. After doing this I fitted the mizzen stay and looped and tied it off with a dab of ca - then I did the same to the mainmast with the block, after I tentioned it and connected at the block. Just the three pics including firstly the block assembly.

EJ_L Posted March 2, 2019 Share #617 Posted March 2, 2019 Carl, I was just thinking the same thing! I don't think I ever would have thought to have run the rope while they were still attached to the sprues either.

Old Collingwood Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share #618 Posted March 2, 2019 Carl, EJ what I did was to bend the one block over till it was facing the other one (carefully not to break it off) that gave a controled way to fit the ropes - I just dabed abit of ca on each end of thread then squeezed it between my fingers, this gave a finer point to the thread - I then passed it through both blocks then back through the same hole and glued both sides - then cut off the ends and pushed the small offcuts into the holes and added an extra dab of ca - it worked ok I think.

Old Collingwood Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share #622 Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Good day all, sincerely thank you for all the likes and replies, So more work on the shrouds - this is not the most straight forward part of the build - keeping the deadeyes all level when under tension is not easy, also the tops of the shrouds where they rap around the mast heads - they tend to throw out the shrouds stopping them from laying flat with each other, I guess I will need to lash some some thread around the top of the shrouds to pull them all level. So four done on each side with two each painted as they should be - two more to be done, then onto the mainmast Heres the pics - OC.
