moflea Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share #31 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I finally finished the rigging. All the rigging lines are strong and nicely stretched. The only thing I don't like about it are the knots, not that they are visible but crowded around the masts in a manner I don't like. I will place a note near the displayed model to read "Magnifiers are not allowed near this model." This little fella keeps reminding me that there is no time to pause the work. He built his own rigging lines between the masts, showing way better skills than mine. I was indifferent enough to not follow his techniques.

moflea Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share #32 Posted August 26, 2017 The Union tries some new dresses. She got so excited about this her hair got fluffy again. A quick haircut and all is fine again.

moflea Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share #33 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I'm at the stage of mounting the sails. The upper and middle ones of the both masts (I know they have designated names but I prefer the save the time searching for it) will go nice I think. I am thinking now about the lower ones. I don't like in particular the way it looks in the box picture. I'm also considering making them furled but I have a problem with the sails I made because I've impregnated them with diluted PVA and are quite stiff. I think I have to experiment with them for a while. Alex. Edited August 26, 2017 by moflea Quote Alex.

lmagna Posted August 26, 2017 Share #34 Posted August 26, 2017 Hello Alex You are embarrassing me! I look at the quality and speed of your build and then look over at my poor attempt at progress and also realize I will have to kick it up a few notches to even approach your quality. Looking forward to your next installment.

AntonyUK Posted August 27, 2017 Share #35 Posted August 27, 2017 Hi Alex. You are making a excellent model from a standard kit. There is a tutorial on making sailes someware here on MSW. https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3944-landlubber-mikes-technique-for-furled-sails/ And some reading. https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/11861-how-realistic-can-one-make-sails/ Don't use your existing sails as you have used pva glue on them... mutch to stiff and would not look right.

moflea Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share #36 Posted October 17, 2017 Real life kept me away from the workshop for a while, but I am ready now to finish this little ship. I have to finish her until the winter is coming. I don't have any pictures to post right now, as I am looking for a way to build a display case. I want to do something simple and decent and I will soon start adding pictures. Quote Alex.

moflea Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share #37 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) ... and kept me away for so many years However, in the last two months justice was done and I've managed to finish her. I also built a display case for her. Here are some photos (not the final ones though as I need to clean the display case properly). It was quite an enjoyable ride!

moflea Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted July 17, 2022 Now I must find a way to package it safely and send it as a gift 3000km away by car/truck.

lmagna Posted July 17, 2022 Share #41 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) I agree with Dave. You have done outstanding work on a very common "Sticks in a box" model. Makes me feel even more guilty about my unfinished kit of the same model.

moflea Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share #42 Posted July 18, 2022 Thank you for your kinds words. The work is far from outstanding but it surely was a LOT of fun doing it. Now she stands before me on my desk like a little jewel begging not to go away from me lmagna 1 Quote Alex.
