Getting rigging ready for a main-topgallant sail..







During process of attaching the sail, the block rigging just snapped, so needed to make another one... to bad the line was already on the sail..



Making parral..



















Happy modelling..

Happy modelling..

Thanks for reply and information.

Even the prototype ships and sailors had to deal with lines breaking, most often at least opportune time.

Wow so nice, I like your work, it’s so beautiful

 

[moreplovac]

During the work, one line was damaged and needed replacement..







It was replaced and all is good again...

I also removed the ship boat as i will be adding few more details to it...



Which in turn, leaves a bit more space for work..



Another parral to build...










And continue with the sail... keeping it up with a small cloth pin...







Then i had to rearrange and reposition some ropes correctly.. a bit of diluted white glue to keep the ends straight and some weight till glue dries...









Happy modelling..

Nice idea of using the clothes pin to keep the yard elevated for attachment to the yard.

Making few blocks with a hook... first, wrapped a wire around the block, added a rope on the opposite end off the hook, twist the wire and make a hook. Then, siezing the rope and freeze it with a glue. The whole block was dropped in blackening solution. With seizing the rope and freeze it first, the blackening solution will no "blackened" the rope, because the glue will prevent solution going into the rope. It is not a bid deal if seizing is done after blackening, just rope has to be pulled a bit more so the blackened rope is removed...







Rigging the sprit-sail yard is next. First, the block was rigged and attached to the yard..







... the rope was pulled thru...













Few more other ropes were attached...



Getting crowded up here...









... and ended up on pin. I put a small amount of white glue to freeze the knot... when is dry, less visible than CA glue.



Extra cord length will be cut off later..

Happy modelling...
