Glenn-UK Posted July 7 Author #543 Posted July 7 Bits and Pieces I spent today doing some bits and pieces as I near the completion the Indy. My first task today was to build the 4 off anchors. They are now ready to be installed. The various missing armaments were then glued in place. I also fully populated the various bitt racks with belaying pins. I thought I had misplaced the Indy's lanterns and ordered two new ones. Later on in the day I actually located the kit supplied lanterns. They have now been assembled, dry fitted to the Indy and the support frames painted. They are now ready be be installed. The final task today was to add the stunsail booms to the fore / main yards and fore / main topsail yards. Tomorrow I will add the anchors and lanterns to the Indy. I will then add the knotted footropes to the bowsprit and spritsail. The final task will be to assemble and mount the Indy of the display stand so she is ready for her final photo shoot. I have just ordered the HM Brig Adder which will be my next build. I will start a build log for the Adder once the kit has arrived. Ronald-V, davyboy, ccoyle and 9 others 12 Quote Glenn (UK)
Glenn-UK Posted July 8 Author #544 Posted July 8 Anchors and Lanterns Today I installed the 4 off anchors and 2 off lanterns to the Indy. With regards to the main anchor I did toy with the idea of rigging a block through the davit, as shown in the following example. As I could not seem to pass the rigging thread through the holes in the davit I ended up rejecting this idea. I am reasonably happy with how the anchors look. Next the two lanterns were installed, a bit of touch up of the painting is required. I have now completed this wonderful kit. I will be taking a full set of completed photo tomorrow morning using my white backdrop as there are too many shadows from the sun to take them this evening. I did take a couple however for this post. and will be taking a full set of the completed Indy tomorrow. In th AON, davyboy, Dave B and 18 others 13 8 Quote Glenn (UK)
