HMAV BOUNTY - A “face lift “

[GrantTyler]

I just finished the crowsfeet lines on another model and was told that he crowsfeet lines are used to keep the sails from tangling or rubbing on the stays. Nothing more than that.

A quick update :
Here is what the crows feet finally looked like tensioned up and tied off via block and tackle (3mm blocks - I did cheat here as I couldn’t make the loop on the top block small enough)

Fore mast:

I could not get the spacing on the mast top even due to the support beams (this happens when you scratch build without proper plans). The symmetry is cool and it looks good, just not 100% accurate. Some more AL-FI .

The stays did pull up on tension but this was expected at this scale so overall I’m pretty chuffed with these. Cheers Grant

Great work on rigging! Keep it up! I can imagine how grandiose it will look at the end.
