HMS Agamemnon by george - FINISHED - Caldercraft


Recommended Posts

Nice job on those ratlines George !

I must be honest but white gives a great contrast and black looks also great !

I understand the difficulty of your choice, I can not help you with that......

Hi George,

Nicely done mate, those Ratlines look really good, and a lot of work to boot.

 

It's always nice to see good progress from fellow Aggy builders.

 

Keep it up mate.

 

Be Good

Hi George,

 

You have done some really nice work there mate, well done.

 

I have one reservation though, I think the Stunsail Boom is a little to high on the yard, looking at the pics which are superb by the way, the boom looks to be on top of the yard. It should be slightly forward of where it is now.

 

Having said that, I wouldn't change it, she's is looking absolutely great and like Sjors I love the paintwork.

 

Looking forward to further updates mate.

 

Be Good

Hello all.

 

finally finished my Agamemnon after 22 months. the rigging wasn't that bad

but not as much room as I thought there  might be on such a huge ship.

I'd like to thank Mobbsie  again because whenever I got stuck I always

checked in on his log, and that got me out of trouble.

 

Here's a few photos.

All the best.

George.

Thanks Sjors.

 

Not sure about next build yet. Will have to be something smaller

running out of room for displaying them. would like to build a frigate

but the lack of space is a problem.

Happy Christmas to you and your family also

It is a huge project to complete, congratulations! Looks impressive, and sure takes a lot of effort)) how long is she including the bowsprit and the boom? I think the blocks seem to be upside down? Each block has a pulley in them, so the rigging line has to be sliding on it. In your pictures it runs against the bottom of the block, ie the wood part.
