Bluenose - Model Shipways MS2130 - 1/64 - By JeffT [COMPLETED BUILD]


Nice work (as always). I look forward to your updates as I’m several steps behind you and you always give me both good ideas and something to shoot for.

Newbie question… where do you get the 0.5 mm brass nails?

hoping some one can help I’m struggling to follow rigging instructions for the fore mast topsail does anyone have a diagram showing how it is rigged.

Perhaps this part is the MS/Lankford-drawings will help you, Micheal:

But perhaps it's better to post your question (in your own build-log?) or in this --> 'BN Main Support Page' <--.

Here's what it looks like on my model. When the ship tacks, the wind should be able to blow the sail to the opposite side of the ship carrying the sheet(?) with it. The rigging would need to be taken off the belaying pins on each side to the lines were loose. (My speculation only.)IMG_8683.jpg
