HMS Unicorn Build Log 14 - Cannon Rigging

Cannon Rigging

Well, after a week of Chinese New Year celebration, and another week before it as preparation, I finally can sit down here and make some updates.

Corel doesn't provide a clear instruction on the cannon rigging, and even the rigging blocks are not coming in correct size. Purchasing them will be really out of my budget, while making 80 of them sounds bit crazy for me, so I decided to make a easier version.

I first made me a jig for the rigging before putting them to the deck. The horizontal line marks the level of the eye bolt on the bulwark.


I started the first one on top of the jig as here gives a larger space for me to work on.


After making the first knot, I applied glue to secure it before rigging it down.




After this, I transferred it down and did the same on the other one.


Done.

On the deck. :) From this picture, you can see that I've also added the the waterway and rail, I'll make the update as soon as possible. :)


Thanks for viewing. :)
