Fully Rigging a Blood & Plunder Sloop
Initial prep work.
I started off by building all the belaying pin racks, riding bits, cleats and anything else that I would need to rig the model.
I used a mix of premade parts and parts I made from basewood and other hobby wood. Parts I made include the belaying pin rack, the anchor catheads, riding bits and the timberheads.
Parts that I purchased are the belaying pins and cleats. Most other metal bits you see are the ones included in the kit. The shroud channel that was provided by Firelock was modified so that I could run the proper rigging though it.
The only major modification I made to the actual ship hull was removing most of the resin from the front of the ship so that I could get rigging around the keel.
