HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) by Gregory - Corel - Scale 1:50

[Gregory]

 

Test fit on the boat..   My rope is more of a hemp color as seen in the pictures previously..   Phone camera wants to make it lighter..

I will be blackening the bolts on the tackle fittings..

Very crisp tidy work on the lines and blocks. Shaping up beautifully.

Been a while since an update, but I have been slowly going forward with rigging..

 

 

A lot of hooks blocks and tackles.  Not really tying anything off at this point.  Yards are made, but not ready for prime time yet.

It is looking really good. Great job.

Coming from the Warhammer world here, this looks fuggin incredible.

Thanks for dropping in.  Makes me feel amiss in not updating more often, but   work progresses slowly.

I have completed most of the standing rigging and the running rigging is coming along.

 

 

I used the laser to cut the spars.  I make them with two parts that I finish individually then join together.

For me it makes for easier handling than one long piece..

 

 

Ready to be hoisted.

A pennant that will fly from the top of the topmast that still needs to be completed.

 

Setting up the shrouds...

 

There is quite a bit of other rigging completed..   I just need to take the time to make some pictures that I am ready to share..

I’m not to the rigging portion of my build yet, but I’m going to follow yours because you are doing a fabulous job of photographing your rigging work! Looks great! Thank you! 👍

Nice work, your yards look great. That’s a clever jig for aligning shroud lines. 

[Gregory]

Thanks Glenn and Dave.

 

Glenn, your build log of Cheerful is my source of inspiration for many rigging details.  Your close up photography is priceless.

  I'll try to provide some more detail and a chance for you  to avoid my mistakes..  😃

 

I mentioned earlier that I have the Cheerful plans, which I am following fairly closely.

Make sure you check some of the Cheerful builds..   They are my go-to for Cutter rigging.  Particularly Glenn's which I mentioned above.

 

I'm having to deviate from a pure cutter rig because this model has a bowsprit plus a jib boom.  I will be improvising and deviating from actual practice in some respects.

I'm using these hooks from Crafty Sailor.

 

 

The Main Stay.

 

 

The ensign.

 

Thanks for stopping by..

I’m very glad it is of help, that is my primary goal for my logs - to help others as I’ve been helped.

Well, hard to believe it's been almost three years since I worked on Resolution.

I was in the home stretch with rigging when the cat decided all that 'string' looked like something that needed special attention only a cat can give.

The mast snapped right below the trestle trees, and fortunately nothing else actually came apart or broke.

 

I feel pretty sure I can get the mast back in position and repaired without having to actually  re-do any of the rigging that was already in place.  I had just started the ratlines so I hope to be able to continue with that in the near future.
