I really like the shroud fairleads; they sit perfectly and look the real deal - take a bow cheers Pat Yeah……those fair leads are smaller then a 1/16” and with 3 leads through them that thread like needles. Tiny stuff. I had to add two more belay pins at the rail to accommodate all the additional lines coming in from the mizzenmast yards. Calculating the sequence of line install takes as much thought at actually installing the lines……so I have no mishaps with tangling and crisscrossing. Thank for the confidence.

rwiederrich Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share #2921 Posted June 6, 2022 These little guys(No more then a 1/4" long) are problematic in their installation. But they have to go in pretty much as the line gets belayed....because of space restrictions. I can spend an hour just planning out the next series of installs. Do I run the mizzen yard pennants and their braces down to their main mast blocks and then down to their belay pins......or do I do the same for the main mast yard pennants and their braces down to the mizzen mast blocks and down to their belay pins.........or lastly...do I run all the haulyards and their purchases for the main mast yards first? This mental process takes time....but really what is happening, is I'm trying to devise the easiest systematic process for install of all these elements, in the easiest sequence. For my mental stability's sake. I chose to run the main mast haulyards first....because, I had to reach deep within the build to add the deck eye bolts for the haulyard origin and the return blocks on the opposite side, mounted on the pin rail cap. 8 holes drilled for 4 eyebolts and 4 blocks-n-eyebolts. Thank the Lord I have small 90deg drill heads for my dental hand pieces......Or I would never have been able to successfully drill the holes for all those eyebolts. Foot long sharp tip tweezers are essential. One final note. I'm not sure if I will be adding the stay sail rigging....most of the time, these sails and their rigging where un bent and brought down while the vessel was in port. I'm still thinking about it. All of this before I install the backstays Rob Keith Black and Dave_E 2 Quote Current build: Build log: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25382-glory-of-the-seas-medium-clipper-1869-by-rwiederrich-196 Finished build: Build log: of 1/128th Great Republic: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13740-great-republic-by-rwiederrich-four-masted-extreme-clipper-1853/# Current build(On hold): Build log: 1/96 Donald McKay:http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4522-donald-mckay-medium-clipper-by-rwiederrich-1855/ Completed build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/475-196-cutty-sark-plastic/ The LORD said, "See, I have set (them) aside...with skills of all kinds, to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts."

rwiederrich Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share #2925 Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks everyone for the fine compliments. I spent time running the rest of the main mast haul yards as well as the starboard mizzenmast braces. All these internal lines must be rigged before the back stays. I opted to work this side as much before I flip her around…….since that is becoming a real task. While I was thinking, chose to drill out the hull fairleads for the main upper and lower topsail yard braces. Here is a few pics of what I have done thus far.

ClipperFan Posted June 10, 2022 Share #2933 Posted June 10, 2022 Rob, Unless someone has stood on the deck of a tall ship and stared straight up at the apparently bewildering latticework of complex blocks, tackles and practically limitless lines, they cannot fully comprehend how incredibly faithful to an actual sailing ship your work is. Looking intently at these images brings me back several years to when I was standing on the deck of the venerable Frigate USS Constitution "Old Ironsides." I remember craning my neck backwards as I stood behind the main mast. There's something just so relaxing to view those lofty masts and powerful yardarms. I get that exact same feeling now as I review your pictures. Well done indeed. 1 hour ago, rwiederrich said: My goal is to get the main mast rigging all done on the starboard side today.

The more lines that go in...the more and more I need to be diligent not to tangle or cross them.(I almost get crossed eyed). Praise God, I have had only one line I had to remove and re rig due to slight crossing, and that was a main topgallant brace...I failed to recognize it had to have a greater range of motion, because the yard is hauled down. When she is raised the brace would interfere with the brace from the mizzen counterpart. All is well. I think my plan is being fruitful...by doing all the internal work first...to include braces, downhauls and any stay work....and leaving the backstays for near last. Once I figured out the sequence...even though it appeared to work against what seamed to be the logical next step, things move along quite nicely. The real work will come when I need to introduce all the rope coils at all the belay points....using ft long tweezers......
