Twokidsnosleep Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share #100 Posted June 7, 2023 Bowsprit and Lower foremast are cemented in. I did a metal rod in Bowsprit and pinned it to the foremast so things won't move The two mast locked together The anchor line is in and test fitting the railing up front Then I added the Gammon rope to the Bowsprit. A bit fiddly and not perfect but it will work Jeff T, BenD, BLACK VIKING and 3 others 6 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff T Posted June 8, 2023 Share #101 Posted June 8, 2023 Gammoning looks good! Does the polyester line tend to smooth out well, or does it need a lot of tension to straighten it when it is rigged?

It holds the knots fairly well and stays put as I wound it around. A bit of fun trying to thread it through the base part but it went ok Mind you , I have not used natural fiber rope before so cannot really give a full comparison Jeff T 1 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC. I agree These polyester 'ropes of scale' are fantastic to work with and the results are very encouraging More work on the bow and you get another angle view of the gammon rope I have started to fit in the cathead block for the anchor support and the starboard forward side dasher is now glued in Edited June 8, 2023 by Twokidsnosleep Old Collingwood, Scottish Guy, Jeff T and 2 others 5 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share #105 Posted June 11, 2023 Well this was a thing. Getting some more ‘deck furniture’ ready before the ropes of rigging are in the way adding brass pins so it fits tight to the deck and won’t pull up easily I broke a belaying pin with little effort🙄 I don’t trust this styrene is areas of stress so repaired it with brass…and will replace the rest of them the same way Then testing of weathering the flat black hull Some grey cement pigments. There will be some rust as well and salt wash lines This stuff can be wiped away with water so is easy to control degree of weathering Scottish Guy, Old Collingwood, BenD and 1 other 4 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twokidsnosleep Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share #108 Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) There we go; these will look better evened out and painted, but will be very functional I thickened the beam across the two supports with a white styrene piece and it made things less flexy Edited June 11, 2023 by Twokidsnosleep Jeff T, Snug Harbor Johnny, Scottish Guy and 3 others 6 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
