Dan Vadas Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share #1591 Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks muchly Christian, Greg, John, Carl and David . Jeer Tyes The jeer tyes support the lower yards. These would have been a fair bit easier to fit before raising the Topmasts . Two 20" single blocks, one each side, are double stropped with very long strops : A cleat each side of the mast supports the strops. TFFM suggested the following method of making the cleats to allow the lashings for the strops to be fitted more easily, but after I'd done them this way I think it would have been easier to make them in one piece. The small "feet" at the top were a real pain to fit afterward, and a needle treader can be used to pass the line through one-piece cleats with a minimum of fuss : The lashings take a little while to fit, as there are six turns around the mast for each (there are supposed to be seven, but I made the lashing line a bit too short ). The strops should be long enough for the blocks to sit beneath the tops by about half their length. The yard will sit at the level of the futtock shrouds when they are rigged : Danny Remcohe, BANYAN, avsjerome2003 and 24 others 27 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

BANYAN Posted March 18, 2015 Share #1595 Posted March 18, 2015 Nice clean work Danny. One of the advantages to come out of my recent 'error' of incorrect scaling and having to replace my top masts and rigging was the realisation that it was easier to fit the jeer/tye blocks early as you have pointed out. Still would have preferred not having to remake the masts though cheers Pat GLakie 1 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLakie Posted March 19, 2015 Share #1601 Posted March 19, 2015 After going back into your log Danny, P.100 +, I was admiring your shrouds and I have to ask if you wormed the lines before serving, to smooth out the wavy look of rope when served, or does the difference lie between using 3 or 4 strands around a core when making the shroud? I'm planning on learning how eventually myself, and it seems like a necessary skill. Quote GEORGE Don't be bound by the limits of what you already know, be unlimited by what you are willing to learn.

Dan Vadas Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share #1605 Posted March 21, 2015 Thank you for the comments John, Dave, John, Kees and Greg. Much appreciated . are you securing the block stropping (with glue or so) into the block`s groove, so it wo`nt snap out at the point later on where you do`nt have much access to tackle it once more ? I sure did Nils. I use a LOT of diluted PVA when I'm doing strops and siezings. It's very easy to clean up while still wet with a Q-tip. The PVA helps to keep the line in shape while I'm tying it. I have to ask if you wormed the lines before serving No I didn't George. At this scale, and with Chuck's rigging line, it wasn't necessary. The Quilting Cotton I used for the serving was sufficiently stiff to "smooth out the bumps" in the line.

Dan Vadas Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share #1606 Posted March 21, 2015 Stunsail Irons The stunsail irons support the Stunsail (or Studding Sail) Booms on the yards. The booms can be retracted inboard along the yard when not in use. The iron work for these turned out to be fairly easy to make. I started by cutting the larger inner rings from some tubing of the correct size (which I had in stock) using the parting tool in my lathe. The outer rings are smaller in diameter and width, and as I didn't have any tubing of that size I turned and bored some round stock to the correct size. Next I drilled a 0.7mm hole into each ring for the legs. Not having any 0.6mm square bar for the legs I made my own from 0.7mm wire. I bent one end of the wire so I could control which face I had on top, and then simply hammered the wire flat on all four sides. Again, this is a lot easier than it seems at first : I pushed the end of the squared wire into the rings and silver soldered them together. Note that I left the square stock at full length whilst soldering so that I could control the direction of the squared section. I trimmed these to length after soldering : I made the straps and reinforcing rings from thin card which I dyed with black wood stain. These are glued on with PVA : The irons fit to the fore upper section of the yard at a 45 degree angle from the vertical : Danny egkb, cog, Mirabell61 and 23 others 26 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

Dan Vadas Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share #1619 Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks once again Carl, George, Mark, Grant, Janos, Crackers, Christian, Nils, Greg and Mhegazi and also for all the "likes" . Truss Pendant Tackles The Truss Pendants prevent the yards from pulling away from the masts in a forward direction. There is one on each side of the mast. Work begins by stropping a thimble in each one. The line turns around the yard and is seized back to itself : Then each line is passed around the mast and through the thimble in it's opposite number. I've only temporarily tied the yard through the jeer blocks to prevent it from dropping - I'm awaiting some more suitable size rigging thread from Chuck : The falls for each tackle have a double block at their ends. The tackle passes through this block and through a single block with a hook stropped to it. The strop is long enough to clear the bitts. This hooks into an eyebolt at the foot of the mast. This is the fore tackle : And the main tackle : Danny Geoff Matson, Elmer Cornish, tasmanian and 25 others 28 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.
