Blue Ensign Posted June 29, 2014 Share #1112 Posted June 29, 2014 Great progress all round mobbsie, I love those bow shots a couple of pages back. You mention the Hardknott pass, I call it scary pass, always manage to meet another 4x4 coming the otherway right at the point with the rock face on the inner side and the unfenced drop on the other. You can guess which side I usually find myself on Cheers, B.E.

mobbsie Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share #1114 Posted July 31, 2014 Hi Guys I cant believe my last post was on the 26th June, jeez time flies. I have been working on rigging the Mizzen Gaff and Boom, making, fitting and rigging the Mizzen Mast. I have gone as far as I can at the moment so now am starting on the Main Mast Yards and rigging. My one gripe is the quality of my 0.75mm Natural Rope supplied with the kit, it's not just hairy but it has bits sticking out of it's entire length, applying wax does the trick for a short time then when the rope is passed through a block it's back to normal. The only thing I can do now is replace it, I'll do that whilst making the Main Yards. Before I go any further I will apologize for not posting progress pics earlier but I sort of got carried away, one moment it seems not enough to post and the next it's done. OK enough yak, here are some progress pics. The Mizzen Gaff and Boom. The Mizzen Mast Yards and Rigging The Braces are still to be rigged but that's for later. So there we have it guys, your right up to date, apologies for the quality of the pictures but in my defence I will say that I'm working with old equipment and old eyes.

dgbot Posted July 31, 2014 Share #1120 Posted July 31, 2014 Mobbsie I finally got around to going through your log. The Aggy for a beginner. You had more courage than I do and You really did a nice job. Building and redoing when needed in such a short time. That you have gone this far in such a short time is incredible. Keep it up you are an inspiration to everyone out there to never give up and to have fun. As for accidents this is nothing new. Years ago I split my finger to the bone and it cost me $800 no ins. A friend of mine was carving out a hull for a lifeboat and his xacto slipped and into his hand. 10 stitches and a sliced muscle. 6 mo of physical therapy and he was as good as new.

mobbsie Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share #1127 Posted August 30, 2014 Hi Guys, Just a quick update to let you know that I haven't fallen of the planet. Rigging continues, all the main yards are made painted and fitted, the rigging is now completed on the main as far as I want to go at least at this moment in time. I thought I would be clever and just put pegs on the ropes before tying off, so with all the yards rigged and a multitude of pegs hanging came the first headache. I ended up almost making lace, the pegs got spun around each other and so the lace making had begun, the second headache was once all the lines were untangled where the hell do they go, they are all now tied of and trimmed so lessen learned, tie of as you go and avoid a whole lot of headache pills. It still isn't getting any easier tying around the belaying pins, even with the approved tools and a few homemade efforts. Next job is to make the fore and sprit yards, this will be done over the next day or so. I have a few pics to show and as usual please give your honest thoughts and opinions, all are welcome. These are the main yards prior to painting Lace making As I have said all these lines are now fixed and trimmed but no pics yet.

gjdale Posted August 30, 2014 Share #1137 Posted August 30, 2014 Fantastic Mobbsie! I love the way you have made the yards themselves - they really do look first class. As for "lace-making", I think you've got it right when you say tie off as you go. It's hard enough trying to get one line at a time to go where it's supposed to - no need to add an extra degree of difficulty. Patience is key from here on - don't want you poking an eye out, or snapping off topgallant masts! mobbsie 1 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted August 31, 2014 Share #1139 Posted August 31, 2014 Great work on the yards and rigging, Tony. That is an excellent rule of thumb... tie off as you go. When it can't be done for some reason, I tape a piece of paper to the fly end with the pin number on it. Makes it a tad easier to figure out where it's going. riverboat, augie and mobbsie 3 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobbsie Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share #1140 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Thanks Guys for your very kind comments and remarks, also for the likes. Frank, to answer your question mate, I mark the centre section and reduce the yards to their thickness outside of these marks, I then just place the yard in a vice and file/sand one side flat, I then turn through 90 degrees and repeat until all four sides are done, I then repeat the process on the quarter turn then turn that through 90 degrees, no measurements, it's all done by eye. Simpler the better for me I'm afraid. Augie, Good job we have to put rope coils around the belaying points, covers a multitude of sins, and your right about the language, they didn't teach me that in school. Grant, I cant promise anything mate, I think I must be the clumsiest guy on the forum. Sjors, Yes I'm still modelling all be it very slowly, it's alright for you young whipper snappers to race ahead but us senior citizens need time Mark, A good idea mate, but from now on if it cant be tied off it don't get fitted, if I have bits of white paper hanging I know for sure I'm gonna bounced by some cotton cannon balls, no names you understand. :D Nils, You flatter me mate, but please don't look too closely OK, it's now time to get back into the loft and start turning out the Fore and Sprit yards. Thanks again and be good. mobbsie Edited August 31, 2014 by mobbsie Mirabell61, riverboat, Sjors and 1 other 4 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
