  1. Thanks grsjax for your input. I'm not sure about visiting The Smithsonian as I am in the UK but will certainly head over to ModelShipBuilder. It's the info on the rigging that I need. There are quite few Pinky schooners as most of them were built in Maine and Essex in the USA. As you probably know the Dove was built in Nova Scotia, Canada. Again thanks for the informationj. flyrite (good landings are good - when you can walk away from them!)
  2. Hi Small Stuff. I need some help, I see your project in Jan of 2015 indicated you were about to or indeed have built the Pinky schooner 'Dove'. Here is my story; My brother's friend was clearing out his garage and came across a model sailing ship in a bad state of disrepair. My brother asked for the ship and his friend gave it to him, he in turn called me up and could I look at the vessel and perhaps re-rig it. I said yes, I'll give it a go. I checked out the model it is about two foot overall and it was a Pinky schooner pilot ship ( thanks to your query about which flag you should show). I have rigged a few WW1 aircraft, but this a different ball game!. I would like to do this for my bro, You ask why doesn't he do it? He has the patience of a flea...no chance So any chance of some help in the rigging of this craft? I have figured some but others just baffle me. If you know how I can learn the art of rigging sailing ships I would be most grateful. If you want any pics of the vessel just tell me where and when. flyrite (good landings are good - when you can walk away from them!)
