James H Posted Monday at 07:16 PM Author Share #64 Posted Monday at 07:16 PM A small update for you, and I apologise for the dusty model. I need to do a blast over with some canned air. The tiller is now fitted to the rudder and then rigged to the wheel using a series of 3mm single blocks. A lot easier than it looks. The strops and deadeyes are now completed and secured to the channels with chainplate linkages. Then onto the boomkins which are rigged down to eyelets on the prow. Harpy will now be supplied with TWO boats. An 18' cutter will hang off the stern and this new 22' cutter will now sit on the deck. She's looking very, very pretty. Lastly, the bowsprit. I'm now currently on masts, but that's for another update! dvm27, AJohnson, RossR and 34 others 36 1 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

DonSangria Posted Tuesday at 06:13 AM Share #65 Posted Tuesday at 06:13 AM I really like the rigging of the tiller/wheel. Is it possible to rigg it as a functioning mechanism? She really looks very pretty! Jack12477 1 Quote Current build: HMS Sphinx 1:64 (Vanguard Models) Finished: HMS Beagle 1:60 (Occre) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris watton Posted Tuesday at 10:23 AM Share #67 Posted Tuesday at 10:23 AM There will be a copper PE option for Harpy, as I have just been told my copper PE order is ready. This includes the copper plates plus a special sheet for the rudder, as shown. For the finished kit version, the treenail count on the outer bulwarks will be doubled. Jim is doing a very nice job!

James H Posted Tuesday at 06:45 PM Author Share #68 Posted Tuesday at 06:45 PM I couldn't let those dusty photos remain, so I gave Harpy a blast of canned air tonight, and some delicate brushing.
