Even though I won't use some fittings and all, still gave me much fun. It's a great kit to bash, too, as the junks have so many variants in build and shape through time. And thanks! 😊 popeye the sailor, CaptainSteve, cog and 1 other 4 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivian Galad Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share #434 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) And here are some pictures. First one to see how It would be like. Test the blocks and such, since I intended to let the sails a bit functional. I researched through some papers I found and the rigging seems to be too close to the kit's instructions, so I decided to go along with them. Second one with the sail on it's place. Ropes are still loose till I find a way to set them as I want - won't use the instructions for that. Third one details the ropes that pin the sail to the mast. That part was a little bit challenging as the thread was already sewed to the sail. Next post I'll show the sail in place, just waiting for the other 2 to be rigged.

md1400cs Posted April 24, 2019 Share #436 Posted April 24, 2019 V, Nice work on the sails. Interesting how the entire bow section is totally open to any slightly rough seas.

md1400cs Posted April 24, 2019 Share #437 Posted April 24, 2019 Vivian, looking more carefully could that actually be the stern? It appears as if the rudder may be there as well, and as to how you mounted its sail. Not familiar at all with these boats.
