Old Collingwood Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share #1055 Posted January 24, 2020 Hi all, Some good progress today - over four hours on her, I finished rat-ing the top main shrouds, then working from the top gallant down, I worked on the top gallant spar firstly cleaning up and painting the two tackle blocks, these were then lashed and glued in place then I sorted a length of lifting rope this had to be smoothed out with my normal method of rubbing watery pva in to smooth out the fray ends. I started at the top found the center point of the rope length then tied and glued around the top gallant block, then I rigged them through the tackle and ran them down each side through the lower shrouds and tied off on the bulwark hand rails. Just the three pics a couple out of focus and hand shake but I think it shows what I have done. As always - Sincere Thank You for all the likes and replies.

Old Collingwood Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share #1060 Posted January 26, 2020 There's just no stopping me - another blast on the pearl, I started on the main upper yard - firstly I attached two lengths of fuse wire around each mid section of the yard then twisted them to form a thicker section sticking down (I left the ends un twited) then I attached the foot rope (thread) at on end and added a dab of ca, I then ran the thread through the bottom of the fuse wire - then twisted the fuse wire to trap the thread, I then wrapped the other end around the opposed mid section of the center yard, and added a dab of ca. I then repeated the same on the other end - and added a couple of coats of paint. After boring out a center point hole I attached by lashing and ca to the upper main mast. The pictures show the un painted yard and with it in place. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share #1061 Posted January 26, 2020 Next - was to work on the mizzen tops, I started by attaching the hand rail, then after cleaning up, I made my usual dead eyes by attaching fuse wire around the outside and twisting it to trap the eye, then I attached the tail of the wire to the tops, this was repeated six times, then a couple of coats of paint and a bit of dry brush highlighting.

Old Collingwood Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share #1064 Posted January 27, 2020 Good day all, Some more good progress today - I made up the upper mizzen shroud ropes and attached the dead eyes (Just a bit of trivia I counted how many dead eyes I have fitted and roped up - 136) they just need lacing up and painting. I also added the two blocks to the ends of the upper main yard - then starting on the one side a ran the lift rope through the blocks and down to the bulkhead handrail where it was tied off. Added another pic of the deck. OC.

lmagna Posted January 27, 2020 Share #1065 Posted January 27, 2020 Nice progress OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share #1074 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Another good day on the pearl, first job was to paint the mizzen shroud dead eyes - when dry I started lacing them up, a couple of hours later and celebration time as all the dead eyes are now fitted After I panted the dead eye ropes and set aside to dry, while they were drying I set about securing the upper mizzen to main stay, using a simple loop around the main upper and block attachment to a loop around the upper mizzen, I left the mizzen end un tied till I had created/fitted and tensioned two upper mizzen back stays - then I pulled all three to the right tension. Three more pics to day. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share #1077 Posted January 29, 2020 Evening all, Some more good progress - firstly I painted the rear mizzen stays, then it was time to return to the main mast, It needed the lower yard making - first I started with a length of 5mm diameter dowel, this was cut to length then I slowly reduced its width and tapered both ends, then after some light sanding I worked on the foot ropes - this was made using fuse wire for the center supports, twisted and glued, then some fine black thread was used for the foot rope, tied and glued and attached at each end. After set a couple of coats of black was applied. Just the one pic showing the yard minus the paint. OC.
