Harvey Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share #61 Posted July 25, 2015 Hi Serving machine worked well not going to fit a motor I will turn it by hand for now. That is the last of the serving on the fore mast shrouds Pendant of tackle fitted and the start of the shrouds,the serving is hard to see. canoe21, gjdale and CaptainSteve 3 Quote Harvey Current Build: HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share #65 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) HI Thank you again Grant and captain Steve and GuntherMT for your likes and comments. Have not done much in the shipyard but I have finished the shrouds and the lanyards, Not totally happy with the lanyards the way I have tied them around the shrouds, so I will leave for a couple of days before I make any decisions, but might redo with a thicker rope and see if it sits any better. Things must be getting serious because I have glued in the bowsprit, I was leaving as long as possible so the ship was easer to turn on the work bench. Picture next time when I start to rig it in.

Harvey Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share #67 Posted February 2, 2016 Hi After a 4 months break (not by choice) Managed to get some time in the shipyard and done a bit more on the rigging. Hope it won't be so long again. Sorry For the bad background I will try and post with something more fitting next time. challenger86, Kevin, gjdale and 3 others 6 Quote Harvey Current Build: HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share #69 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Tried to get a better background could not find anything better that the back of the plans. (Not allowed to white wash the wall) But it does give a better view of the rigging so far. Can't think of much more to say so here are some pictures.

kruginmi Posted February 9, 2016 Share #70 Posted February 9, 2016 Could you provide more details on how you approach 'splicing' two served lines together? I am looking at your shrouds over the mast. Thanks in advance, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share #71 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Mark I did not splice the served shrouds, Got a shroud marked where the serving should be and served the middle then wraped (Think the correct term is frapped) round to make a loop just big enough to go over the mast here is a picture of one that went very wrong. Hope this helps if not let me know. canoe21 and CaptainSteve 2 Quote Harvey Current Build: HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share #72 Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Bad news, was hit by some chain shot (A pair of scissors) As I was not happy with so much of the rigging, so decided to start again on some of it. I could give a list of what was wrong but we haven’t got all day. So hard to cut the lanyards on so much work but had to be done.

CaptainSteve Posted February 17, 2016 Share #73 Posted February 17, 2016 Brave move, Harvey !! 'Tis never an easy decision to cut-out work you have spent hours on. But, once you have re-done the shrouds and are happy with them, then you will wonder why you waited so long. I applaud you. (All I'll say further is, been there, done that ... in my case, many times) Harvey and canoe21 2 Quote CaptainSteve Current Build: HM Granado Bomb Vessel (Caldercraft) My BathTub: Queen Anne Barge (Syren Ship Models) Log: Queen Anne Barge (an build log) Bounty Launch (Model Shipways) Log: Bounty Launch by CaptainSteve Apostol Felipe (OcCre) HMS Victory (Constructo) Check It Out: The Kit-Basher's Guide to The Galaxy Website: The Life & Boats of CaptainSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share #78 Posted March 26, 2016 Hi Taken a long time but finally back to where I was before I cut off some of the rigging to start again. Glad I did looking much better and a lot cleaner. Also took the time to redo the netting on the bow Seventynet, canoe21, CaptainSteve and 2 others 5 Quote Harvey Current Build: HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share #80 Posted March 26, 2016 Hi J The netting came from one of my daughters old party dresses (when you are a ship builder always on the look out for things to use) Painted it on a piece of glass with clear mat varnish to stiffen it when dried cut to size and stuck it on with varnish and the rope hope this helps CaptainSteve 1 Quote Harvey Current Build: HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share #89 Posted April 10, 2016 Hi Doing the ratlines, taken over a week so far because I have got to this stage before, with 0.25mm rope but it was too thick and looked awful. So I ripped it all off and started again with 0.10mm I think it look much better. Still a long way to go but getting there.
