Santissima Trinidad by ECK - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:90

[ECK]

Hull and ship's boats done. Foremast completed and mainmast started. I leave the bowsprit until after setting up the shrouds as it gets in the way and I am always snagging it.

[ECK]

Thanks, I consider it an honor

 

[ECK]

Another few weeks, yards all done. Starting on the shrouds

[ECK]

Bit by bit shrouds going up. I find the knotting rather relaxing once you get into the rhythm of it. Occre instruction very poor here as do not make note of the catharpins needed for the upper shrouds. Also do not give distance between ratlines. I use a piece of 2x5 to space and straighten knots here

 

[ECK]

Yards and sails attached. Plans are very poor marking locations for tying things off, some points missing and others on opposite sides depending which picture you look at.

 

 

[ECK]

So the riging continues. As the model picture on the box has the sails furled, I have decided to do the same. Again , instructions not always the greatest for placement of lines.

 

[ECK]

So next are the staysails and jibs.

[ECK]

So at last finished. I do like the geometric symmetry of the rigging

 

And now for my long awaited next project, build diary to follow:
