Twokidsnosleep Posted February 19 Author Share #171 Posted February 19 I am getting the upper deadeyes put in so I can add the upper shrouds I followed this diagram; added a black wire and a brass collar, then made the wire round to accept a rope Of course I hade to untie most of the standing rigging ropes that I have shown previously the three stages I have a kagillion dead eyes to drill and stain now for the lower shrouds Old Collingwood and Scottish Guy 2 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twokidsnosleep Posted February 23 Author Share #173 Posted February 23 (edited) Here she sits on my desk. I have all the lower port deadeyes installed and secured and am mentally planning the next steps Did all the standing rigging, none in their final state and can be altered or removed if needed Thinking it is the shrouds that should get started now?? I was going to do back to front starting with the mizzen mast Here we go testing out 0.8mm ropes of scale rope for shrouds on the Mizzen mast. I tried a black 0.7 and it is too small, better suited for threading the deadeyes and the rat lines. So this is a tan 0.8 that I will stain darker. I am just getting the length and evenness of the shroud lines dialed in here. Yes these lines are temporary and just tied off of the lower deadeyes Edited February 24 by Twokidsnosleep More photos added Old Collingwood and Scottish Guy 2 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 25 Author Share #174 Posted February 25 Mizzen mast’s lower shrouds are done. Wow this is tough, picky work tying these ropes, very time consuming.

Does give them a nice grungy used look and takes away the shiny new toy look.

Twokidsnosleep Posted March 2 Author Share #177 Posted March 2 (edited) The upper mizzen mask shrouds and dead eyes are done. Awaiting the other ropes to do rat lines There is a large degree of asymmetry and randomness in all of these and hoping that transfers to realism.

Twokidsnosleep Posted March 3 Author Share #178 Posted March 3 (edited) Here is a little video of a staining technique changing the shrouds from a light tan to dirty brown The black was too black, the brown I had dark and wrong diameter and the tan too light….so I decided to stain them Edited March 3 by Twokidsnosleep oakheart, Scottish Guy, Old Collingwood 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 March 14 Author Share #180 Posted March 14 (edited) Maybe a bit too thin of ‘ROS’ rope, but I think it will work. I thought I ordered 0.4mm but apparently nope I muffed it. Tying clove hitch knots here This is a 0.5mm tan rope at the top ….and looks a bit thick.
