Build Log: Nuestra Senora del Pilar (OcCre, 1:46)

Update to progress.

I have been working on assembling the foremast. It is pretty detailed for a mast. Each section has been tapered, stained, lacquered, and glued together. There is still some painting to do on the upper sections. I followed the 1:1 drawings provided by OcCre. The formast is 27.5 inches tall as measured from the deck.

Here are some pictures of my progress....View attachment 358397View attachment 358398View attachment 358399View attachment 358400View attachment 358401

Fabulous work, simply awesome. But may I add that I thoroughly checked out your workshop and the tools you have, and slowly wept, then cried tears of envy.Speechless Great workmanship Philski

Good morning Phil. That is a tall foremast. They get thin at the top gallant area and tricky to keep the angle right when rigging the standing rigging. Your detail on the mast is Fantastic. Cheers Grant
 
Hi, will you be installing the backstays before the ratlines too? I am just thinking that it may become tricky to rig the ratlines with the backstays in the way.
 
Very nice Phil, it is coming on well. Looking forward to seeing the completed model. One thing I have done with my yards is to drill and install a pin in the middle of each yard and then drilled a corresponding hole in the mast when each yard is positioned. This has allowed me to tension the running rigging lines as obviously the weight of a model yard is not the same as a real yard under gravity. What are you planning to use for the sails, the out of the box or your own custom sails?
