BigGrin Hi Alen

Very nice work, the cocktail sticks certainly enhance those bulkheads and simplicity itself to do.

Hi everyone, issue 113 is finally finished today... will say however, now I'm heading towards the final few issues of this build I am noticing a marked increase in the amount of work to be done on each issue.... Issue 113 has probably had the most work required to date with the final part being the making up of the bowsprit... This started with applying the bindings as per the mast plan, moving on to fitting all the eyelets and blocks... Must point out here I made up all the blocks and attached them to eyelets prior to fitting, thought this would be easier than trying to fit them when the bowsprit and mast section was completed...Cool Cool . Next task was to fit the rigging blocks to the fighting top again as per the mast plan...Cool Cool

Next job was to start making up the forward mast sections of the bowsprit, found here the larger of the mast holes on the upper mast supports was slightly to big for the mast, solved this by inserting slivers of sapele strips into the mast holes and painting black leaving me with a snug fit. Assembled the mast sections together and then attached all the eyelets and rigging blocks drilling through the mast supports and into the mast themselves...Cool Cool

Final part was to fit the fighting top onto the bowsprit and inserting the completed mast sections, ensuring the fighting top was level and the forward mast section lined up with the bowsprit....Cool Cool

An enjoyable part of the build now concluded with the bowsprit sitting in position, this has not been glued as yet, that will be done further down the line.....Cool Cool .. Happy building all....

Regards

Alan

Beautiful work there Alan, and Stevie's right, it's so easy to forget that thing's sticking out so far (nearly doubles the turning radius when the hull is on a turntable too!Blushing )
Many years ago when I helped Dad to build our extension we fitted in the wooden full length open door frame months ahead of putting in the glass - then eventually after weeks of stepping through the empty frame we added the glass - guess what happened next!Crying
And well done in fixing the loose mast, banging in big wooden wedges is just how they did it for real as well!Cool
Keep them coming!

Thanks Robin for those kind words...Cool Cool .. A turntable is something I need to invest in and am on the lookout for one that will be strong and large enough to do the job....Cool Cool .. The idea of snagging things and ending up with breakages is something I will have to try and be very careful with..... Cool Cool ..Thanks again...
