Blue Ensign Posted June 8, 2013 #702 Posted June 8, 2013 So just a couple more pics this morning. Another look at the mizzen stay collar lashing and the lanyard. I came about as close as I dared get to an actual rose lashing (I did have to look that up online, found this link: http://www.frayedknotarts.com/tutorials/roselash/roselash.html), ok maybe not quite, but it works. The kit says to use 3mm deadeyes, but I used a couple of hearts I had. They may be a bit oversized, but they are more correct (I think). I've also snugged up the shrouds and tied off the deadeye lanyards. When that was all done, I gave the lines a coat of matte medium so things don't get too fuzzy while I'm gone. Andy Neat work on the Mizen stay Andy. Lees (Masting & Rigging) indicates the use of deadeyes up to 1805, but Marquardt ( 18th century rigs and Rigging) qualifies this as relating to large ships. Antscherl has gone with 5" hearts (2mm at scale). I suspect Lees who was Senior Curator at the NMM based much of his work on the close inspection of contemporary models, but hearts or deadeyes are a minor point in the ovearall scheme of things. B.E.

realworkingsailor Posted June 8, 2013 Author #703 Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks BE It seems with some things there are definite hard and hast rules as to how they where done, but with others, there's nothing certain (and lots of conjecture and opinions.. ) Personally, I like a little variation here and there... keep things interesting, or at the very least give people something to talk about.

Landlubber Mike Posted June 25, 2013 #707 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) This is not so much of an update, it's a nice sunny day, so before I go back to work tomorrow, I thought I'd head outside and try to take a few photos. Andy Very nice work Andy! I have the Pegasus on my shelf, and your build is an inspiration. So is it weird of me to look at the third picture in Andy's post referenced above and say that the Pegasus has a lovely backside?
