Hello shipmates!

 

Just a quick update on GH1 and GH2 shipyards. The fighting tops are finally all done~ I am posting some pictures of these below.

 

First up are the photos on the fighting top on mizzen mast. Significantly smaller than the fore and main mast fighting top.
 

While working on the fore and main mast fighting tops, I devised a method for a quick marking of the 8 pillar positions.  And when I started to work on the mizzen mast fighting top, I kind of forgot this method. Fortunately the memory came back quickly. So, I decided to document the methodology so that I don’t forget it next time.

 

 

 

The mizzen mast fighting top on GH1 done and moving on to GH2.

 

Pictures of both GH1 and GH2 with all the fighting tops done and put in place but not glued or fixed yet.

 

Next, I am planning to put blocks under the fighting top  structure before finally glueing things together. But, the Aeropiccola plans really lack details on rigging . Does anyone have a good picture of plan on fighting top block rigging please?

The small details make all the difference. They both look wonderful!

Standing rigging starts on page 19.
Running rigging starts somewhere on page 22.

Thanks Patrick! I am always referencing your build logs anyway~ At the moment, I just need something specific and more detailed pertaining to fighting top (base and bottom part) only. I am currently going through similar builds including your Pelican.

Both look great. I enjoyed reading along as you built your log here. Thanks for sharing.

Hello shipmates!

Latest progress report on GH1 & GH2: prep work for crow’s nest underbelly rigging (installing bolts for block attachments),  installment of stoppers for stays, deadeye fixture on the crow’s nest, and some other minor additions.

 

First the bolts on the underbelly of the crow’s nest. I started our with 4 (2 on the front, 2 on the back), but later I decided to add 4 more bolts on the front side (just in case).

 

 

 

 

Next, the stopper for stay (between lower part of main mast and mizzen mast) For this one, I devised a larger and wider single design instead of applying multiple small stoppers.

 

 

 

Same procedures applied to all masts for both GH1 & GH2.

Next, the fore and main upper stay stoppers : small single stoppers applied.

 

 

Now the dead eye fixture on the crow’s nest. I decided to follow the original plan - fixing the 5mm dead eyes with cotton thread instead of bronze.

 

Finally, minor additions to crow's nest supporting structure.

Hi Bob~ 

Thank you very much  for your compliment!  I am not sure your high level of praise is deserved, nevertheless much appreciated!
