Chasseur Posted June 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 All the masts are done save ratlines and rigging. Yards are done up, painted & ready to go. Now comes the fun part all of the rigging etc. Steady as she goes! JesseLee, Donald, John Zuch and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasseur Posted July 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Started on the Spanker with yards etc. Lots of rat lines to build as well. The Uschi thread is awesome, it will stretch and allow me to fold the yards sideways, to get the mast into the bottle! 👨🍳 Steady as she goes!

Chasseur Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Just finished the Spanker less the control lines that go to the Jigger Mast. I have to get the yards on the jigger first to determine length of control lines.

Chasseur Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 The Mizzen mast is done, which is weird as it sits midship on the Preussen. When I think of a mizzen mast it comes as something being located on the stern of a ship. I am modelling the sail detail taken off of the Cap Horn model by Heller. The Preussen will be in heavy seas as modelled. Also finished the detail on the stern in gold. Two more masts to rig up then it's on to the running rigging, then into the bottle. Or as the late Jack Hinkley would say, time to "Hit the Bottle." JesseLee, Bernard Kelly, Donald and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasseur Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) The Insanity has been completed! I worked on this project off and on over the past 4 years. Life got in the way numerous times however I persevered. 'A mighty fortress is our God a bulwark never failing' is my motto under pressure. This is a Christmas gift for my youngest son!
