Model Ship Update: Main Sail

I know it's been a long time, but I'm getting back into this after a bit of a hiatus. Below are pics of the recently added main sail. The rig is pretty much the same as the other square-rigged sails: halyards, topping lifts, buntings, clewlines, and reefing tackles.


The first picture shows the front view. The bunting is the line running down the front of the sail to the foot. Next is a back view. The reefing tackle is at the top right of the sail, while the clewline goes through the block at the bottom right of the sail. Of course, all these lines would have their port side equivalents. The third picture is a detail of the main yard. The topping lift is the line running through the double-block in the foreground. The blocks for the halyards are at the center of the yard, under the maintop. Most of these lines are made fast to a series of pegs at the base of the mainmast as shown in the final picture.

Still have to attach braces, sheets, and maybe tacks. The tacks aren't in the plans, but I think they should be there.

Two more sails to go. Hopefully, you'll be seeing more pics here soon.
