Dyed the sails. Playing around I ended up using a 2:2:1 ratio of RIT Tan : Scarlet : Cocoa Brown. Started with a 1:1 of Tan : Scarlet but that seemed too red. The end result is redder than the others, but I like it, and from what I’ve seen online for ships of this sort there seems to be some variability. 
 

I’m also showing some linen fabric I dyed in the same batch. While probably closer than I had used an old t-shirt the shade is a good bit different.

Oddly, the sail size isn’t 1:1 with the plans. I was hoping to use it to determine where to tie on main sail rings. 
 

The boom is 1:1. 
 

I think Chris Watton said he didn’t use sails from where he got them originally. This was from agesofsail so it could have been an old model from their inventory.

Added shrouds and deadeyes. Have one more pair to go. 


I know my seizings are  too long. I was trying a new approach and once I had the first pair and realized, I didn’t really want to take them out and start over.

More progress with the rigging.

 

I use flat (without teeth) alligator clips to hold the ends of the lines (that will be tied off later on pins and cleats) so I can tie everything tight into place later in the process.

A lot of the rigging on this “interacts”, making it important it seems not to prematurely tighten a lot of it. It’ll be quite the acrobatics to tie some of this off.

I’m done with the Vanguard Ranger. It’s my second Vanguard model after the Sherbourne. The first couple of photos are in progress shots, but the rest are of the completed model. I still have a few clips holding some rigging while it dries (the tied off rope has a coat of diluted white PVA), but I’m done. I’m going to try to take some nicer photos with my Nikon - maybe next weekend - still need to do the same for my Sherbourne that I finished a while back. 
 

My next Vanguard model (in my stash) is the Zulu ‘Lady Isabella’, another fishing boat. For this one (and the Erycina, also in my stash) I’ve ordered from Vanguard the nicer sails instead of using the ones that come with the kit. I’m thinking of also getting blocks and line from Syren.
