Cross Trees

These are the Cross trees for the Main Mast. I built them up from a piece of Mahogany Wood.

I put this Kit down when I started working on the HMS Surprise. I decided to begin working on it in between this one and my next build…

Flags and Banners

I used some Dap Contact Cement for attaching the main Banner to the Flag Line.

Stand

Painted the Name Plate

I used a Gelly Roll Pen to highlight the Letters

Spanker Vangs

So this is the very last part I need to finish and then I’m done except for the Stand.

Vangs from the end of the Gaff to the set of Blocks that go to either side

Goes down to that Cleat

I had a bit of a difficult time getting the string around the Cleat but I twisted it with some pliers and worked it around.

Triangle Tackle

Main Sheet Clueline and Tack

I kind of got caught up and just continued on without recording it. So I’m going to hurry up and get caught up.

Anyway, this is all the tackle for the Main Sheet Clueline. It is secured to the Hull using a Ring on the lower end and it goes into a Hole in the side of the Hull so that it can be pulled.
