Alright then. I tried posting these rigging pictures last night on the iPad and after an amazing dissertation, I was posting pictures and proceeded to to lose everything......DOH!
So, let's try this again.
I used Xavier Pastor's Anotomy of the Ship, "The Ships of Chistopher Columbus" as a rigging guide since the Revell instructions were not really helpful at all. However, there was not much on rigging the Nina in Pastor's book either. I mainly used the mizzen mast rigging page and illustration.
I am going to start with the mizzen mast since I started rigging her that way. It actually ended up being easier to rig from the stern forward and rig each mast completely before proceeding to the next mast. Not usually how I rig but with the limited space it turned out to be the right choice.
The first two pictures show the toggle that is connected to the halyard blocks and will go through the loop on the yard. The second picture shows the rigging of the blocks. I used Model Expo blocks by the way. The upper block is double stropped.
After that the next set of photos show the rigging of the halyard, sheets, tacks and vangs.
