edit from Jim B-- I

fumble fingeredly mistakenly deleted accidentally some of Marjinn's post....
=============================================================


- How did you make the yards? Did they come from the kit, or did you 'turn' them yourself, or ... ?



- How did you attach the yards to the masts? Simply butt joined with glue, reinforced with some thin rope? Or another way?

- I cannot see on the photo's if you ended up adding the parrel ribs or not?

apologies for late answer Marjinn!!


- How did you make the yards? Did they come from the kit, or did you 'turn' them yourself, or ... ?

I used and adapted the generic 1/350 yards from Master-models-- always shortening the longer yards gain some 'meat'...


- How did you attach the yards to the masts? Simply butt joined with glue, reinforced with some thin rope? Or another way?

Nope--far too much loading( and unintentional movement!!! ) with the sails and rigging needed--I attached them with a small double loop of caenis thread and secured
with CA

- I cannot see on the photo's if you ended up adding the parrel ribs or not?

I intended --and should have done so... but it was all getting a bit crowded at yards and platforms...

I worried it might all get over-scale and look clunky

.... so... decided that in this instance ' less would be more' !!


Best wishes

Best wishes!--

and do ensure you study all printed materials / plans etc of the ship;

I do "" THINK "" my model- within the confines of scale and knowledge of the vessel ...
is fairly accurate ....
I do hope you can create a build log here also-- that way I can assist IF you need me --I have ALL the books....

Cheers
JIM B
