Old Collingwood Posted February 17, 2019 Author #573 Posted February 17, 2019 I spent a couple of hours on the pearl this eve - It struck me that the shrouds will obscure and work that needs doing inboard, this included the spar lifting tackle, so after researching how this is done on the pearl - I firstly seperated two lengths of thread found out where they are tied off/lashed on the deck - this is along the front bulkhead railing containg some belaying pins, so I did a couple of twists around the pins and added a dab of ca to secure. I then ran the rope upwards and through the one side of the block - then I rapped the loose end round and secured with some tape till I later when I fit the yard - I repeated for the other side. Just a few pics showing what I mean - popeye the sailor, Oliver24, Canute and 5 others 8 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.

Old Collingwood Posted February 20, 2019 Author #587 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Then I cut the mainstay rope from the rig and placed it around the mast - I then tied and glued the loop and let it set, I then turned my attention to the bowsprit and looped and lashed some rope around it, I then worked on two double blocks still attached to the sprue (I thought it would help working on it still on the sprue) I used some fine thread and fed it through both ends of the blocks then tied a knot in the middle - I then moved the knot along and hid it inside the block holes - this was repeated for the other sides of the block, a dab of ca secured the threads, this assembly was then cut away from the sprue and painted, I then attachetd the double block to the mainstay/bowspit end and tied/glued the end - this was left with mainmast mainstay end dry fitted to the block - hope that makes sense.

Old Collingwood Posted February 23, 2019 Author #596 Posted February 23, 2019 Hi all, some good progress today - I made and fitted the mainmast lift rope, this was tied and glued to the side handrail with a loop hangng down, same as before I then ran the other ends of the rope up and through the blocks, and looped and taped to be connected later. I then turned my attention to the two stays - first I added some thin rope around the block ends, then I tensioned the stay - added a few drops of glue then lashed the ends with thin rope - after I ran a bit more glue and trimmed the ends, so fore and mainmast stays now fitted and tensioned.
