mikiek Posted July 7, 2016 #271 Posted July 7, 2016 If you don't have some already, a craft/hobby store has beads small enough. That's where I got mine. The package had brown & black beads of several sizes & shapes. Don Quixote, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

Don Quixote Posted September 18, 2016 Author #273 Posted September 18, 2016 Well, long time no work on me ship. Granddaughter was here during summer vacation. Amazing 14 year old. I have done a little work here and there, and finally remembered to bring my phone into the garage with me. Messed it all up, but I'll do better on the main mast.

mikiek Posted September 19, 2016 #274 Posted September 19, 2016 Cool Scott!! Must be nice to see some ropes on the sticks. How did you keep the top mast straight and aligned with the fore mast?

Don Quixote Posted September 27, 2016 Author #275 Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) They're not. I have a bunch of magnets and a 1999 pickup truck. I taped 2 8.5x11" pcs of paper together lengthwise and drew 2 parallel lines apart the same distance as the diameter of the mast and length. Set the paper on my truck and the magnets on that. Put some on the side and underneath an all around to hold them in place...

Don Quixote Posted September 28, 2016 Author #279 Posted September 28, 2016 There's one site I do, do. And take that for what it's worth. Called nextdoor.com. It's a site dedicated to..., You guessed it, your neighborhood. It goes by the name of your neighborhood. Ours, bridleridge.nextdoor.com. Someone says, I found a dog. Another says, I found a cat. Another says, "I think I saw a cat... burgler... Another says, "Well, I'll be dog gone!" Then someone gets upset about dogs being gone and everyone gets upset that everyone's upset and... It's the most entertaining site their is. I mean if last nights debate wasn't entertainment, this site is. I can get them fighting over whose dog poops in whose yard. I've been kicked off 2 times, but they always let me back on. ID10T's. One time someone was complaining about dog poo in their yard so I uploaded a movie of a monkey tossing poo at a zoo. (Hey that rhymed!) Said I, "This is what I would do to the person(s) if I caught them." That was the 1st time I got kicked off. Now I just watch to see who's getting kicked off next. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

Don Quixote Posted December 7, 2016 Author #282 Posted December 7, 2016 Well, sorry for the long delay, friends. BUSY summer. Which is just now ending here in California. Upper 50's. Rain. 2 more months of this crap. Anyway, here's the latest. Sorry there's not a lot more, but I was negligent in taking pics. I'm intimidated by the rigging so I'm putting it on hold while I build the Rattlesnake. Soon as I get the log started I'll let you know.

mikiek Posted December 8, 2016 #283 Posted December 8, 2016 Don't blame you regarding the rigging Brian. I'm probably going to do the same thing. Canute 1 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

mikiek Posted December 8, 2016 #286 Posted December 8, 2016 Well I have a start on Constructo Enterprise but I expect the same rigging issues there. I am also building a PanArt Gunnery Station Cross Section (no rigging required). But for a serious build I have 2 kits that have the lateen sails. The triangular fore to aft type. The rigging is very simple - Amati Galley Arrow or Occre Cazador. Both are interesting departures from the square rigged builds. Ya know some times I feel like I'm wimping out by not rigging Niagara. Other times I really like the look with no strings on it. I've been trying to figure out how to turn it into the Admiralty style look. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

mikiek Posted January 13, 2017 #288 Posted January 13, 2017 Maybe with some simpler things under my belt I will come back to Niagara. I think what is going on with me is the realization that rigging will take 6 months or more and I just don't want to spend what time I have doing that right now. Maybe some better coordination between eyes & fingers too. For some reason I have been extremely clutsy the last few months. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?
