moriarty wrote:Hi Mo, I have been trying to see where and how you are short of guns. I see that you have put 13 ports on each side ,I only put in 12 and the very last ports on the stern cabin I leave closed but there is a gun in there although a smaller weapon than supplied but you can only see it when the lights are on. That accounts for 4 but you would still be short . They must have packed it wrong mate. The pin rails look like they wont give you any trouble and as for glueing them in depends on how tight a fit you have got. Looking tidy though. False alarm there about being short of cannons, I have a full set of 42. I have not fitted any to the rear, under the captains quarters, I have made the cannon lid's closed there.

Thanks for the help on the rigging, I will have to complete the timber walkway detail to the bow before I fit the bowsprit, I will read and pick away at it. I will keep you posted.

Today is the 1st Anniversary of me starting to build the ship, I never thought I would have got this far in 12 month's Getting on a bit now, I have had to order some more materials to complete the hull, In the meantime I am trying out some of the rigging, to make sure I have the right kit, and I know what I am doing, I have had some help from Ian, and been doing a bit of reading on the subject, so this is how I am going to proceed. I am going to fix the bottom section of the main mast in place, I am going to glue it in place,( bit of pressure here ) then I am going to do the thick black thread that hold the ratlines, I have pre made these, this is how I did it. I made the jig above, I marked the amount of space I needed to get the thread over the top of the mast, I marked the thread with a crocodile clip, then did the seizing.  This gives me enough room to get the lines over the mast, apparently they are done in pairs, 2 down one side and then 2 down the other side, MoMo

Hi Mo. She's coming on beautifully there, I like the jig idea for the dead eyes too! One little tip I found some time ago if your rigging thread is especially 'hairy' is to get a small block of natural beeswax (old style cabinet supplies or hardware shops usually have it) and then to run the thread over the block a couple of times before then running it between your thumb and forefinger. This will usually bind the hairs to the body of the thread for a better scale appearance. Keep up the great work!

Love all these little inovations you keep coming up with Mo but they all work pretty good. Dont put too much tension on or you will knock the mast out of plumb. Nice one HMS Surprise HMS Snake HMS Bounty HMS Royal Caroline HMS Victory rebuild HMS Supply
