Hi Brian,

 

Thanks I will be adding four cannons to the starboard side. I added a set of stairs where the fifth one should be that also messed up the location for the boarding stairs. I am moving them between the third and fourth cannons. One small change can affect a lot of other things.

I have been working on the head rails. The drawing showing the lower knee made a good pattern and fit nicely. The upper knee drawing did not make a very good pattern so I divided it into three pieces using the drawing for the end pieces and used some modeling clay to form the middle section. I carefully removed the clay and traced the outline on a paper pattern after some trimming the center section fit.

The deadeyes and chainplates have been added to the channels. The plans provide a template for the main channels showing eight shrouds but the rigging plan only shows seven. I am going to use eight.

The drawings have good details for the masts and tops. I started with the tops then built the masts. The masts are built but I am going to add the guns and other deck items before stepping them.

The rope for the rigging is made from DMC cotton thread on a ME rope walk about the same vintage as Gene’s it ain’t pretty but gets the job done. I added the crowfeet and euphroe to the top before stepping the main mast.
