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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielD Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share #258 Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) 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.

Dave_E Posted May 16, 2022 Share #259 Posted May 16, 2022 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.
