illuminators” glued in, but I’ll think of something, maybe a clear polished dowel that slides in to make a lens..

HO model train suppliers have a window glazing material that will work here.  I forget what they call it. It looks like thin white glue and it dries clear. Just spread a drop on the openings with a toothpick.   In addition to glazing windows I have used it to make “water” in some  buckets on a model barge. It is quite effective

Good afternoon everyone, last night worked on the steel bands on the foremast. Slow steady progress…

This evening spent some time building some foremast dead eye hardware. Still some fine tuning and chemical blackening…but getting there.

More work finished on the main mast rat lines. I think I’m all half hitched out and I know there are a thousand more to go. 
 

Now to figure out the next step….hmmm…

More work on my HMS Terror. Today worked on setting up the small boats and stacking them on the deck.

Good evening everyone. I’ve been putting off starting the mast standing rigging…but no more. Started the fore mast…slow steady progress.

Thanks all for stopping by. Continued work on the rat lines of the fore mast. Port side finished and a good start on the starboard set.

Good evening all. As is the case with all good projects, one might learn more information information along the way. Dr. Betts book on the HMS Terror in hardback has not been and is still not available in the U.S.; however, I was able find a Kindle version. Looking through the book at the images and research I feel good about the “additions/ changes” I and others have made to the standard OcCre Terror kit. I did discover that there are differences in the standing rigging between Dr. Betts research and the OcCre plans I was following. Since I really just started the standing rigging, I chose to take a step backwards and fix a couple of lines, well, eight to be exact. Here is the updated model following Dr. Betts book.

I started the rigging on my LN like you, standing rigging. I had the shrouds all done (no rat lines) and someone pointed out I missed some cleats. And then as I started looking at things, discovered there was no way I was going to get lines tied to the belaying pins. Are you concerned about this?

Good morning Dave and fellow Washingtonian,

 

I believe I have all the cleats and belaying pins installed based on Dr. Betts research of the Terror; however, attaching the rigging is always a challenge. I have a little experience with my Golden Hind I finished a couple of years ago, but it will still be a challenge. I have long hemostats for reaching across the deck to attached the lines to the belaying pins. Not easy, a delicate process, and very time consuming...

 

BTW, your LN is turning out wonderful. Keep up the great work.

 

Daniel

Good evening all, more work in the shipyard today. Spent some time working on the bowsprit. I didn’t realized how much work is involved.

Good evening all. I think my eyes are a bit cross eyed with all the rat line work. Today I finished the main mast rat lines.

Well friends, the shipyard has been slow this week, maybe it’s because rat lines was on the menu. Updated pictures.
