Shipyard sid Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share #271 Posted January 3, 2014 Greetings all Thanks you all for your comments . I have just taken over two hours to secure the final yard onto the foremast . I assembled the parral beads and linked them to the yard, then fitted the yard and linked the parral beads around the mast and secured it to the other side of the yard. It only needs to be made tidy. Here's a couple of photos. DAVID Kevin and dafi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipyard sid Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share #274 Posted January 6, 2014 Greetings all Thanks to you all for your comments and for viewing which is most appreciated . These photos I promise will be the last of the foreyard rigging which even I am getting a bit cheesed off with. OK here's were we are now. The final step on the foremast top yard is the tye which runs from a single block below the trestle trees down through the double block which Is lashed to the yard, it then returns up and through the single block under the trestle trees. It then terminates with a double block. The falls are a linkage between the block and a single block on a pendant lashed to the channel and belayed at the rear kevel on the forecastle. I decided to have a look at fitting the foreyard rigging but realized I would be making the yard more or less solid in position. This would be to dangerous as the yards are forever being bashed, and would end in broken rigging. I have put the rigging on but it is not belayed. Here are are a few photo which may makes things clear. So now I shall make a decision on what's next. Hammock netting, or main yards. Here's the photos.

Shipyard sid Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share #277 Posted January 12, 2014 Greetings Well here we are again with a bit of progress, after starting on the main mast. I looked at the hammock netting first, but that's all I did, looked. I started on the main yard and completed it ready for the jeers blocks and sling etc, then suddenly realized I had made it the same length as the foreyard. I then found I did not have any 8mm dowel left that was useable. The only piece I had left was so bowed you could throw it away and it would come back. So I simply made the main top mast yard out of what should have been the main yard. I when down to the local B&Q for some 8mm dowel and alas no 8mm but luckily they had some 9m, so it's the main yard tomorrow night. So here's were I am now. The main top mast yard is made and fitted but not belayed. The fitting of it is exactly the same as the foremast top yard, parrell beads and a tye . So here's some photos and time to bore you with the main mast yards for a couple of weeks. Once again thanks to you one and all for you comments and for viewing. Here we go again with photos.......DAVID WackoWolf, canoe21, dafi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipyard sid Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share #280 Posted January 14, 2014 Hello derek Thanks a lot, hope you are well . I messed up on the main yard , and made it to short, so converted it into the main top mast yard. I have got some 9mm dowel from B&Q and started to make the main yard last night. The only piece of 8mm I had left was like a banana . Were are you now with your yards,?? You should be well on , and due to post.

Shipyard sid Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share #284 Posted January 23, 2014 Greetings all Well at last I have got the main mast fitted. The truss pendants need rigging up with a block and tackle and a bit of sorting to do. So next is the top gallant to fit and on to the mizzen. I have knocked a bit of rigging loose, but it's more or less unavoidable. What I need to do is go back to the short run of shroud and ratline that I need to repair. So that's me for a week or so. Thanks to you all for viewing and your comments and here we go with some photos. DAVID dafi, Aussie048, Kevin and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have plenty to do but your Victory looks close to completion. I must say that I am very proud to be hobby associated with you. With all the help you give to so many other modellers it's amazing you can get so much done on your own project. It looks beautiful and I'm very happy for you.

Shipyard sid Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share #288 Posted January 28, 2014 Greetings all Well at last I have completed the fitting of the yards to the mainmast, with only the need to tidy up, and do something about the belaying, and there is also a lot of knocking about going on now. It would be nice to be able to work on both sides of the ship without having to turn it, as even with a lazy Susan I keep knocking the bowsprit on the overhead lamp and have loosened a few threads. Anyway it's onto the bit of repair work on the mizzen shrouds , and then the mizzen yards. I had another look at the netting but alas that's all I did look. I am not going to bore you with lots of photos of the ship itself as they are getting a bit monotonous now. So here's just a few. Thanks a lot for your comments and for viewing. Here we go...

Jerry Posted January 28, 2014 Share #289 Posted January 28, 2014 Hello David...No sense complimenting you because your work deserves more than that. How nice it must be to sit back and admire your beautiful work; it scares me to think what I have to got hrough to get to where you are. I can't even build some of my masts right. I guess it won't be long and you'll be shopping for a display case. It seems that it hasn't taken you very long to accomplish the rigging although it probably feels like years to you. You certainly nailed it.

Shipyard sid Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share #293 Posted February 2, 2014 Hello derek Welcome back, and thanks a lot. I am on doing the mizzen masts now and have two yards made, and will prob have them fitted in a about 3days. The rigging in this area is a bit confusing for me, two of the yards point out backwards to be technical. But this is part of the fun, so they say. I think you must be ready to post, and let us see were you are with the yards and rigging. Good luck . DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipyard sid Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share #294 Posted February 3, 2014 Greeting all Here we are again after fitting the cross jack yard, and damage galore!!!!! Yes there's a lot of repair work to do, and prob best left till a lot later on. The yard is fitted with a sling and one truss pendant which belays via a block and tackle at the fife rail, which you can see on the photo. The deck also looks a bit drab and will need a good tidy up and a coat of varnish later. There is one more single block yet to be fitted on either side of the yard, which is the brace block. The braces themselves cross each other and are linked up from the after most shrouds of the main yard on both the starboard and port side. Anyway that's a bit tricky to explain, but as I said earlier there's lots going on and it's very enjoyable. Here's a few photos , and thanks to you all for all your comments, which are very much appreciated.

Shipyard sid Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share #298 Posted February 7, 2014 Greetings all Well here we go again with another yard finished apart from the tye to link up to the falls, which will be done tomorrow. I have one more yard to fit on the mizzen mast which is the top gallant yard, and then I am directed to the lifts buntlines and leech lines. To be honest I had never heard of buntlines and leech lines until I started on the mast platforms. I had expected to fit the driver gaff and boom next , but as I said I am directed elsewhere. I have also linked up the two brace pendents which I was a dubious about when I looked at it on the plans, then I realized it was an angled view which became obvious.So one small spar to do then more fun with those buntlines things, and more damage. Here are a few photos. Thanks to you all for comments and viewing . DAVID canoe21, mort stoll, gjdale and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipyard sid Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share #300 Posted February 7, 2014 Greetings all Firstly mort the instructions were to use 0.25 mm black thread for the parral beads. All I have done tonight is link the tye on the mizzen topmast yard to it's belaying point which is a cleat on the poop deck. The truck needs to be connected to the aft most shroud, and on the photos you can see the tackle between a double block and a single block before belaying to the poop deck via the double block. The belaying is not tied off as you can see, and you can also see loads of repair work to do. Here a few photos showing the run of the connection from the yard to the belaying. See if it makes any sense to you. Here we go. Thanks a lot for viewing. DAVID dafi, canoe21 and Kevin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
