Looking good Kevin, add weights to those pendants and  coat them with pva, it will help them hang straight, and impart a more realistic 'heaviness' to them.

 

B.E.

ty, i will do that, first though i will make up the required amounts of shrouds then reapply them, hopefully a lot tidier,

w believe this to be our next Puppy, aged 3 weeks, we have first pick of the litter boys, and from our daily updates this is the one we like, of course he may not like us

good evening everyone

day 191 -6 foremast standing rigging

with the lower shrouds completed onto the futtock shrouds, the deadeye assemblies are slightly different to that of the Caldercraft Victory in that the futtocks actually keep the deadeyes from pulling out rather than a catch that locks them into the channel

the futtock staves are just a piece of 1mm brass rod

I worry that Kevin will drop the ship on his way out to the garden! Which would be such a shame as it's looking so good.

i hope not to have a SD14 moment, that still brings tears to my eyesIMG_2354.JPGIMG_2355.JPG

a little bit of thread drift, created by myself

This is Apollo, a nearly 5 week old  Show Cocker Spaniel  and yes he picked me, will be coming home with us in 4 weeks

good morning everyone

gardening, and puppy arrangements as well as PC gaming have got in the way of the Indy, never mind though its not a race, even though next build is planned LOL

 

on table 201 -7 days

 

when i put  the Catharpin's in everything around the futtock staves looked bulky, so i redid the futtock shrouds and Catharpin's again and again it  was 4 times before deciding to leave them, not brilliant but not looking quite as bad

then made a decision that may bite me in the future, to go ahead a put the bowsprit on, as this was already made up and ready to go

good morning everyone

thank you for comments and likes

day 204-7

apologies for not interacting with the forum much recently, lots going on in the background, nothing at all bad, just busy

before you all laugh at me about my way of rigging this build, i vowed i would start at the front and work aft, most lines are still just temp and still to be fixed into position, today the foemast mast yard will be mad up, then hopefully get the ratlines done

it might all just bite me on the bum

 

the line between the fore and main is a temp backstay as non are fitted

Your build is fun to watch, your work is lovely!   Gonna be fun not breaking the sprit or knocking over the model while maneuvering with the rigging.   

Hope you do not get bitten 😀

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

good morning everyone

 

thank you for comments and likes

 

days 207-7 fore mast yard

 

i am aware i am doing this all the wrong way around, and that certain things need to be done first, however i wanted to know to myself that i was still able to do certain tasks, having now proved those tasks i can go to the conventional way of rigging my build,

i will still continue to work forward to aft, but concentrate on getting the Ratlines done before the yards
