Issue 126 - Contains the Foresail, bamboo dowel and dummy gun barrels.
Take the main royal yard V10 and the sail SA4 -That you assembled in Issue 125 and attach them in front of the mainmast, just below the upper crosstree, as you did with yards V8 and V9.
Then prepare two halyards with dark brown 0.5mm thread and a 4mm two-hole block 212 and two collars each with 0.5mm thread on one side and 0.25mm thread on the other side of a 4mm one-hole block 209. (Following the measurements shown in the instructions).
Tie the 100mm-long thread to the eyebolt left free among those fixed on the quarterdeck in Issue 125. With the 0.25mm thread, connect the block 209 of the collar to the block 212 of a halyard. Tie off the thread to the cleat indicated. Then lead the dark brown thread of the first halyard upwards and secure it with a drop of glue on the cap. Then take the thread down and tie it to the yard V10.
In a similar fashion, fit the second halyard on the other side of the model.
Using 0.15mm thread, prepare the lifts of the yard V10. - These ropes are similar to the lifts of the other masts.
Tie the thread to the topmost of the two eyebolts fixed above the crosstree. First, pass it through the block 209 on the tip of the yard V10, and then through block 209 hanging from the same eyebolt. Then lead the thread down to the deck, tying it off on the first belay pin of the rack in front of the mainmast.
Fit the second lift on the other side of the yard.
Use 0.15mm thread to prepare the sheets of the mainmast royal sail SA4. - Tie the thread to the loop at one of the bottom corners of sail SA4, pass it through the block 212 on the tip of the yard V9 and then through a block 209 that you must fix to the shroud forward of it. Wrap the thread on one of the free belay pins on the bulwark of the deck.
Repeat on the opposite side of the sail SA4.
Now fit the sheets of sail SA4, to be made from 0.15mm light brown thread. - Start by knotting one end of the thread to the loop of one of the two lower corners of the sail SA4. Pass the thread through the block 209 attached to the yard V10. Then, tie a block 209 to the shroud forward of it and pass the thread through it, pulling it down. Tie off the thread on the free belay pin on the bulwark of the deck.
Fit the second sheet on the bottom corner of the sail SA4.
Make the braces of the yard V10, which should be made with 0.15mm thread. - Tie the thread to the eyebolt located on the cap of the upper crosstree of the mizzenmast. Pass the thread through the block 209 hanging on the end of the yard V10. Then lead the thread back to the mizzenmast and pass it through the block 209 attached to the eyebolt in Step 16. Tie off the thread on the free belay pin on the bulwark of the quarterdeck.
Now fit the second brace on the other end of yard V10.
Take yard V3, and the foresail SA5 that came with this issue. - Sew the sail on the mast, as shown in Steps 25 to 27 of Issue 124.
To assemble the parrel of the yard V3, paint the six deadeyes that came with Issue 122 a sapele colour. Then, paint the edges of the six pieces red. Finally, take 10 parrel trucks (that came with Issue 99) and two pieces of 0.25mm thread. Assemble the parrel by inserting the two threads into the holes of the deadeyes and parrel trucks. Then attach the yard in front of the foremast V3 using the parrel. The deadeyes and trucks of the parrel should be placed forward of the mast. The curved edge of the parrel trucks should be facing the stern of the model.
Prepare the halyards of the yard V3 - with two 0.5mm dark brown threads, a 0.25mm light brown thread and a 6mm two-hole block 213. Raise the yard up under the first foretop.
With a tie made with the 0.5mm thread of the halyards, connect the block 213 to the bitt on the deck behind the mast. Tie the end of the thread to the indicated cleat on the deck. Then lead the threads of the halyards upwards, passing them through the foretop and above the cap. Fix them with a drop of glue. Then lead the threads down, pass them back through the top and tie them in the middle of the yard V3.
With 0.25mm thread, make the lifts of the foremast yard V3 - Which are similar to those already fitted on the mainmast yard. Begin by tying one end of the thread to the forward eyebolt below the top. Pass the thread through the top hole of the fiddle block 159 at the tip of the yard V3. Then lead the thread back to the foremast and pass it through the block 209 attached to the eyebolt used in Step 32. Tie off the thread on the belay pin on the bulwark of the forecastle.
Repeat on the other side of the yard.
With 0.25mm thread, fit the sheets of the foresail SA5. - Tie the thread to the loop at one of the two lower corners of the sail. Pass the thread through the one-hole block 209 hanging from yard V3. Pass the thread through a 4mm one-hole block 209 that you must fix on the forwardmost shroud. Tie off the thread on the second belay pin on the bulwark of the forecastle.
Similarly, fit the second sheet to the other lower corner of the sail.
Prepare the sheets of the foresail SA5 with 0.25mm light brown thread. - These two ropes, unlike the others, must remain slack.
Start by fixing an eyebolt on the side just above the sea horse to the upper left of the access door of the model, then tie the 0.25mm thread to the eyebolt.
Now fix a 4mm 43 one-hole block 209 to the loop of one of the two lower corners of the sail SA5. Pass the thread of the sheet through it. Then tie the thread to an eyebolt that you must fix on the hull, just above the sea horse to the top right of the access door. At the end also fit the other sheet of the sail.
Fitting the braces of the yard V3 - Using 0.25mm thread, Tie the thread to the mainstay (which goes from the first mainmast top to the foot of the foremast). Pass the thread through the block 209 hanging at the end of the yard V3.
Tie a block 209 on the mainstay, below the point at which you previously fixed the thread. Then, pass the thread of the brace through the block. Wrap the thread around the fourth belay pin (counting from the left) of the rack on the railing of the forecastle.
In similar fashion, fit the second brace on the other side of the yard.
This completes this lengthy session, carefully store the remaining parts.

Issue 127 - Contains the Foremast topsail, dummy gun barrels and diecast decorations for the right-hand side of the hull.
Take the foretop sail SA6 that came with this issue and the yard V4 prepared earlier. - Fix the sail to the yard, as described in Steps 25 to 27 of Issue 124. Then fit yard V4 (and its sail) in front of the foremast, placing it below the second top. The yard must be joined to the shaft by a binding made with 0.25mm thread. The binding is the same as the one that you have used on the upper yards of the mainmast.
Prepare the two halyards of yard V4 - Using 0.5mm dark brown thread and a 4mm two-hole block 212. Then make the two collars with a 0.5mm thread, 0.25mm light brown thread and a 4mm one-hole block 209.
Follow the measurements shown in Step 4.
Tie the thread of a collar to the eyebolt on the deck near the second grating. Then connect block 209 of the collar to block 212 of a halyard with the 0.15mm thread. Tie off the thread on the nearest cleat, then lead the brown thread of the halyard upwards, pass it through the second foretop and fix it with a drop of glue on the cap. Then, repass the thread through the top and tie it to the yard V4. Fit the second halyard of the yard on the other side of your model in the same way as the first.
Now you can set up all the other rigging related to the yard and foretop sail V4 - Starting with the sheets. Use 0.25mm thread for the job.
Tie the thread to the eyebolt fixed forward below the second top and pass it through the block 212 on the tip of the yard V4 and through the block 209 hanging from the eyebolt. Tie off the thread on a belay pin on the edge of the forecastle bulwark at the shrouds. Check the step 10 photo to identify the correct belay pin on which to secure the sheet.
Repeat on the other side of the yard.
Using 0.25mm thread, you can prepare the sheets of the foremast topsail SA6. - Tie the thread to the loop of one of the two bottom corners of the sail SA6 and pass it through the free hole in the fiddle block 159 on the end of the yard V3.
With 0.25mm thread, fix a block 209 forward of the shroud, then, pass the thread of the sheet through the block, and tie the thread to one of the belay pins on the edge of the forward parapet of the forecastle, as indicated in the Step 15 photo.
Similarly, fit the sheet of the other lower corner of the sail.
Now it is the turn of the sheets of the foremast topsail SA6, to be made using 0.25mm thread. - Start by tying one end of the thread to the loop at one of the two lower corners of the sail SA6. Pass the thread through the one-hole block 209 attached to the yard V4. Pass the thread through a block 209, which you must first strop, on the shroud. Then tie off the thread on the free belay pin on the bulwark of the forecastle at the shrouds.
Fit the second sheet on the other side of the sail.
At this point, you can fit the braces of the yard V4, to be made using 0.25mm thread. - Tie, and secure with a drop of glue, one end of the thread to the top stay, which goes from the second maintop to the first foretop. Pass the thread through the block (209) hanging on the tip of the yard V4.
Now tie a block 209 to the top stay, placing it below the point where you previously fastened the thread. Then pass the thread of the brace through the block and tie the thread to the third belay pin (from the left) of the rack on the parapet of the forecastle.
In a similar manner, fit the second brace on the other side of the yard.
Decorations - Take the pieces PD21, PD10, PD15 and PD6 that came with this issue and, after going removing any burrs, coat them with metal primer, then paint them gold. Then retouch PD21 with red paint.
The eight decorations are glued on the second quarter gallery of the right-hand side of the hull. Glue each of the pieces in position in the locations shown.
Dummy guns - Remove any burrs from the six dummy guns provided with this issue and also the 12 dummy guns supplied in previous issues. Prime and paint them as before and also add the dowel spigot rods as before.
Use a 2mm drill bit to make central holes in the nine indicated gun ports on the right-hand side of the model where you have to fix the nine dummy guns.
With the help of the Step 31 photo, identify on the right-hand side of the model the areas of the upper and lower gun decks where the dummy guns are to be positioned.
Following Steps 8 to 10 of Issue 99, fix a dummy gun into each of the five gun ports shown in Step 32, then fix a dummy gun into each of the four gun ports of the forward area of the hull.
The remaining 9 dummy guns will be fixed in the next issue onto the left-hand side of the model, carefully store them until then.
