You might want to take a look at Prince de Neufchatel by Coyote_6 – Constructo – 1/58 scale - American privateer. I ran across his build log and he has rigged his just recently. I will be following his procedure which appears to me as being the most accurate method. Cheers, Peter Thanks Peter, I'll have a look. Many thanks. Cheers and Regards, Harry. petervisser 1 Completed Builds: A/L Bluenose II A/L Mare Nostrum Sergal/Mantua Cutty Sark A/L Pen Duick A/L Fulgaro Amati/Partworks 1/200 Bismarck A/L Sanson
hof00 Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Author #152 Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Hi All, Time for a small update.... Fitting of Deck Funiture progresses, only a few Deck Eye Bolts yet to place and a couple of Blocks on the Aft side of the Catheads. Thanks to @petervisser for his suggestion on Anchor Stowage. (I have done one up and one down.) I removed the Focsle Mooring Bitts in order to be a little more accurate with the Capstan placement, I also decided to install Capstan Bars for a little added interest. (Vertical Capstans are A/L as the kit supplied ones were pretty nasty.) I made up a couple of Gratings, one in front of the Ships Wheel and one for the Aft Companionway. The only things left unattached at the mo. are the Vertical Capstans and the Skylight structure/block. The Skylight continues to be a point of indecision for me as I am not happy with the way the Roof Windows look. (Photos show structure with a Brass frame around these and one without for comparison, feel free to comment. I have a couple of ideas yet to represent these Roof Windows a little better perhaps? (I might just be better to leave well alone.... 🙂)) Shroud Chainplates and Deadeyes assembled, (No photo sorry), and I'll assemble the Backstay Chainplates soonish. The Chainplate material is a "Soft" white Metal, and I overstressed a couple of these so had to replace with ones made from Brass wire. I think that's it for the mo. If I remember anything else, I'll update. Apologies for a couple of "Out of focus" pictures but I think that you'll get the idea. 🙂 Cheers....HOF.
