Question about upper shrouds?

[myavid76]

I am working on the HMS Victory 1:96 by Corel. On my lower shrouds I siesed where they go around the mast and the lead shroud is siesed all the way. Are the upper shrouds treated in the same manor?

I have done mine that way (not Victory) - it appears to be what Peterson's book illustrates.

Thank You for the reply. The directions with this kit are limited. I appreciate your help.

I know on most period ships the upper shrouds were attached to deadeyes the same way, but the lower deadeyes were mounted in crows nest and then tied to upper end of shrouds below them, and had ratlines on these to allow for crew to crawl to crows nest if needed.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of how the upper shrouds are attached. What I was unsure of was if they were siesed, like the lower shrouds are, where they go around the mast. Jimmystratos reply was they are, so that's the way I think I am going to do them. Then I will need a streak of ambition to do the rat lines.

My understanding is we're talking about 'serving'.

When I was tying my fore shrouds on my model, I didnt make serving. Jaime and El Capi warned me about this issue and said that every first shrouds on each mast must be served. Otherwise sails can cause damage on them. According to this information I think that upper shrouds also have to be served as others. So I decided to serve upper shrouds also.

Yes. Serving, my mistake.

No. I only did the lower front pair in mine.

Good news for me. Than my serving festival finished.
