The fore topsail is being readied to go on the yard, and is currently drying out. Either way, i need to get a bunch of cleats.

I turned 19 today. Woohoo! Also, the fore topsail has almost all its blocks in place, and is almost ready for the halyard.

I've been mildly sick for the past few days, and i just found out i have Covid. Guess that explains the distinct lack of modelling for the past couple days.

The only real issue was the sinus infection which hurt like a SOB, the rest in just an annoyance.

Isolation goes through tomorrow, and by then i shouldn't be contagious. Thank you all for the kind wishes of both celebration and recovery. Once i get better, i'm gonna throw a late birthday blowout (me and a few family members going to a pizza joint) 

 

I got the first two jabs in 2021 because the gov't said i had to. Other than that, nothing. And so far, my own immune system has proven perfectly capable of handling this with no issues. I guess it was smart of me to change my diet to include healthier foods.

I'm doing a lot better today. I was able to go fetch my dad some gum from the gas station and get myself a coffee. However, he is sick with covid. He is 61, but he has no underlying conditions nor does he have a weakened immune system. He's pretty sick today, but we're both sure he'll be better tomorrow. Either way, i'm taking care of him.

I'm jonesin' for my modelling fix. It's like crank for me, i just can't do without for long. So, i have a question for you all. Many of Vroom's paintings show what appears to be an extremely small topgallant sail on one of the masts.

The Mauritius And Other East Indiamen by Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom - Oil Painting Reproduction

This seems to be the perfect picture. This is the only one i could find where the topgallant sail did not have a harbor furl, his usual depiction. Our ship has topgalants on both masts, as this is a much larger ship than the relatively small Dutch fluyt depicted here. So, the question is, should i depict the topgallants as being fully raised, or should i put them in the process of being unfurled and raised, like in this painting?

Sorry for my absence, I haven't been working on the ship much in the past week. However, i did today. 

I got the fore topsail yard set with the halyard finished:

And the parrel and braces: 

20230725_164928.thumb.jpg.620e95d67d8de7ef5e4d4ae86e2c839f.jpg

I will do the bowlines next, to encourage the sail to billow. Then, the clews and sheets. After that, the buntlines.

The bowlines. Can you notice the much more substantial billow? 

I have set the fore topsail low. However, it fouls neither the lower foremast stay nor its own bowline falls.

Note the fact that none of the ships pictured have their topsails hauled all the way up. Another note: The lack of waistcloth on the Spanish vessel indicates that this may have been a surprise attack. It also seems as though they may be frantically hauling up their topsails in a bid to escape.

The fore topsail is now complete. All i had to do was the topping lifts and the buntlines, all of which belay at the forecastle. 20230729_163647.thumb.jpg.f49fe16a9669b5a39c076fc50e2b4b14.jpg20230729_163713.thumb.jpg.6e4221093ba18ee8df3aba7d439d1f2e.jpg

Next on the list is the main topsail, which should be easier than the fore, especially on the belaying front. I might even get around to painting the yard today, who knows.

Next build isn't on the table until the galleon is finished. It'll be a toss-up between the viking ship and the HMS Botany Bay.
