After reading "Son Of Bulwark" re brass wire being fragile and with a tendancy to break I followed his advice for the construction of the chainwales. No problems and I like the look.
Had a lot of the fittings left over and had a thought. The footrope supports are fiddly to make and probably due to my beginner status seem to vary a bit. Also with the later issue I have the same problem with the brass wire breaking.
Solution:- Using some more of the fitting I purchased for the chain wales I have drilled the yards (carefully)and inserted the brass fittings. Cut to size and paint. Uniform look and size of the eyelet
Piccys attached includung one of the 400 I took of HMS Victory on a visit to Portsmouth at the start of my build. Nice to refer to the original sometimes for background and information. I did notice in the picture that the colour scheme of the yards on the actual ship is not as suggested in the build. May have to do a bit of repainting
