GrandpaPhil Posted May 13, 2019 Author #241 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) I got more done last night. I made 6 more deadeyes with 4 failures while trying to make the 6th one, lol. I removed a stay and rerouted it and added another that I had missed. I also added the fore top shrouds and left it with the ratlines half done down the starboard side. Quick note and lesson learned, I need to reinforce the mast tops better next time to prevent deflection under the stress of rigging.

GrandpaPhil Posted May 15, 2019 Author #249 Posted May 15, 2019 I only have one set of backstays left on the foremast and two on the main mast. I think that I am now done with the deadeye spacing jig.

GrandpaPhil Posted May 16, 2019 Author #250 Posted May 16, 2019 I have reached another milestone with this build. I am done with the standing rigging. Next up, I will be making some booms, gaffs and yards. Then, I will make sails. After that, I have to install everything and install the running rigging. The last thing I do on any model is to make and install flags and pennants. As a quick side note, I never expected this model to get past the hull covering phase, but I’m too stubborn to give up. So, I’m pretty pleased with my progress. I’ve never scratch built a model before so I’m very happy with it. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for a first run. I’ve learned a lot and have gained much valuable experience that will help me in future builds. Without further ado, I present the American Privateer Prince de Neufchatel with the standing rigging complete: Omega1234, mtaylor, Cabbie and 3 others 6 Quote Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)

GrandpaPhil Posted May 26, 2019 Author #257 Posted May 26, 2019 One complete set of yards, booms and gaffs!

GrandpaPhil Posted May 27, 2019 Author #258 Posted May 27, 2019 I’m in the process of installing blocks and foot ropes on my yards, booms and gaffs. I had to make a couple more cleats. I’m getting better at making small parts. That’s another skill that I will carry forward. I also inked (using thinned down paint) all of my rigging blocks and deadeyes so they don’t look too light. I’m currently waiting on the paint to dry. I’ll post pictures once I have something worth showing. mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)

GrandpaPhil Posted May 28, 2019 Author #260 Posted May 28, 2019 I’m having a lot of fun with this build. I’m working on finishing up preparing the ship and the yards to receive sails and the running rigging. I have the foot ropes installed and am installing the last round of blocks. I’m going to display the Prince de Neufchatel as running under full sail, which means that I have to make allowances for the studding sails as well. This means that I will have to install another round of blocks around the hull. I have all yards, booms and gaffs sitting on the deck in their approximate positions so I don’t get them confused. ccoyle, mtaylor, Omega1234 and 3 others 6 Quote Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)
CDW Posted May 28, 2019 #261 Posted May 28, 2019 Having fun is what it's all about. In the process, you are achieving quite an accomplishment, particularly considering the fact you've built this model from scratch. Very nice indeed, Phil.
