riverboat Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share #336 Posted September 7, 2015 Small update....... main sail attached to mast. this one I had to cut down some, I wish I had left a liitle more sail to work with on the top, well anyway it's done. Just have to attach a couple more blocks to the deck then then I can start the standing rigging, This ought to be fun.... they did'nt include a belaying plan .... To be honest,I do'nt have the slightest idea where half of them tie off..... so there might be some confusion goin on in the near future Thanks for looking in......... frank DenPink, qwerty2008, popeye the sailor and 8 others 11 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

mtaylor Posted September 7, 2015 Share #339 Posted September 7, 2015 Looking great, Frank. I love the furled sail look. Belaying plans? None? Then I guess you're done? Great job.. what's the next build? :D It's a cutter.. there ought to be a belaying plan somewhere that will work. Although I did see one model where the instructions said: "Rig the ship like the picture on the box"... And I had tossed the box out long before that...

mobbsie Posted October 1, 2015 Share #345 Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Frank, Just love those furled sails mate, they also have a sympathetic look when compared to the rest of the ship.

mattsayers148 Posted October 4, 2015 Share #347 Posted October 4, 2015 Just got caught up reading your log and WOW, absolutely beautiful! The aging is superb and the furled sails are exquisite. I'll be following closely, if you've got a spare seat, to watch your rigging. I'm getting closer to this phase and need all the info I can gather. I'm going the furled way as well, gives a better view of all the hard work. riverboat 1 Quote Matt - aka The Squirrel Whisperer Current builds - Benjamin W.

riverboat Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share #351 Posted October 9, 2015 UPDATE TIME....... just a small one ....... progress is being made !!!.... bowsprit is finished and foremast is almost finished..... all blocks and lines are attached, I want to mount the yards first before the back stays are set...... the ropes coming down from the yards have to be attached at the foot of the mast the back stays would be a pain if they were in the way. Right? .... of course..... the second shot is a little out of focus (sorry).... I don't know what happened, I asked my camera and it didn't know either, something got messed up!! Any how , here's whats going on.... Thanks for looking in...

mobbsie Posted October 18, 2015 Share #359 Posted October 18, 2015 Frank, allowing a ship to get into such an appalling state tells me you only have one thing to do, sack the crew mate. Your doing a superb job on the rigging buddy and your right, the Mizzen Forestays do seem a bit large, but if that's what's called for then so be it. Only you have to be happy with it mate. :im Not Worthy: Looking forward to more updates my friend Be Good mobbsie riverboat, mtaylor and mattsayers148 3 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
