James H Posted September 30 Author Share #64 Posted September 30 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! TJM, wvdhee, RossR and 36 others 38 1 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

DonSangria Posted October 1 Share #65 Posted October 1 I really like the rigging of the tiller/wheel. Is it possible to rigg it as a functioning mechanism? She really looks very pretty!

chris watton Posted October 1 Share #67 Posted October 1 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 October 1 Author Share #68 Posted October 1 I couldn't let those dusty photos remain, so I gave Harpy a blast of canned air tonight, and some delicate brushing. Here are some new pics.

James H Posted October 19 Author Share #71 Posted October 19 This is likely to be my penultimate update as the next one should show this rigged and finished. That'll be a nice way to conclude this, so until this, these are a few photos of Harpy's masting, including some photos of the yards, gaff, boom, spritsail yard and the completed bowsprit. I've concluded this with a photo of Harpy as she currently looks. No text is really needed for this as the photos are self-explanatory and perfectly follow the convention you've seen in other VM build logs. Hope you like the results so far. ] Gaffrig, Mr Whippy, dunnock and 26 others 25 4 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!
