Mates,

 

Thanks for likes - slight variation on the above technique. Looks a bit more realistic in terms of how rope is "actually" secured around itself - Added a knot - actually also easier to do than the above back side glue/cut/hide bit.

 

here are a couple of updated shots. Minor diff. but just a bit more realistic IMO.

Hi mates,

A couple of shots -working on the details for the other rope coils that are needed up front. 

Thanks for the likes and comments -IMG_8589.thumb.jpg.769d86d370560b1fde2870fc07d61dee.jpgIMG_8592.thumb.jpg.b636ca0508644ea368f5fe34a8524846.jpg

So I’m stuck need to cut these ropes and can’t reach them.

Went to Google University and “searched for “long needle nose hobby scissors” --- Nope! Learned that they are called Embroidery Scissors haha ..:default_wallbash:

Most of you certainly already knew this.

 

OK they’ll get here in a couple of days. May start the mainmast organization at this point.

Oops starting to break stuff -OK – Now its time for The Vikings Season 5.

Michael.... that is such a cool technique......I really like the way you run the line up thru the pin  hole and secure it the way you show...... really eliminates a lot of frustration trying to secure the line to the belaying pin..... the coils look spot on ,I'll book mark this page for future reference....... again........ GREAT!! work... Wish I had known this method earlier:default_wallbash:..........:D:D.......

Almost wants to make us work from the inside center outwards and upwards, so we wouldn't have to reach over.

Hi,

Just a visit...

You Log has already been a  Consultation / Advice / Reference document...

Very nice work as always...

 

Do you think to interest in surgery equipment to find something useful for what you are looking for?

Hi Mates,

 

Shipyard has been very much part-time for the last couple of weeks – busy with year-end details, AND a so absolutely pathetic driver ran into my sweet car changing a lane without even first looking– so dealing with that as well. Her insurance accepted 100% liability.

 

Frank: glad that this technique is helpful for you as well

OC: yes hindsight is always 20:20 thanks for your visit.

Martyn: thanks so much

Denis: thanks as always for your kind thoughts

Ferit: Looked at some but don’t think they will help

 

In the meantime I have, however located all of the main mast lines into their proper pin-hole locations.

 

And pre-coiled all of the needs ropes at one time. I was doing them one at a time before. This should help with the multiple installs.

 

=========================

Sharing my sad car situation. after :default_wallbash:and again after :D -- Been to the body shop several times, checking in - the repairs were excellent .

PS: The Admiral thinks that I love this car more than her --- Hmmmmm :wub:

 

Pleasant holidays to all of you here at MSW

 

Cheers,

Hi Mates,

Work in progress update. Have mostly attached all the mainmast area lines, some work still needs to be done along with adjustments here and there. I won't go into details, but my lack of pre-knowledge caused some issues - drilling pin holes above canon openings and behind kevels. Those spaces need to be pin and rope free (now I know).  I re-located and re-drilled some pin holes as best I could, but a few lines could not be moved. There are left-over empty pin holes scares but so be it (learned this for next time)

 

Here are a few updated pics of the mizzen area rigging1.thumb.jpg.09906b00172d71ea79cf79ad217a39b5.jpg2.thumb.jpg.0862c664f4ceb189abde789572901d42.jpg3.thumb.jpg.f657b05b0000e741e4d68ac4a4e853e6.jpg4.thumb.jpg.dfb014c151baa8401e50d9fc684998e7.jpg5.thumb.jpg.dd331faf01c7b959613a0956b08bc52d.jpg6.thumb.jpg.5c1ed145b9be5421caed20d36efaf686.jpg8.thumb.jpg.e6ab5d7cbb00b9a92f2e9c4756330650.jpg- still a work area - most lines have not been tensioned or secured.

Michael

Hi Mates,

 Karl, Ferit, Dave, thanks so much for your so kind thoughts.

---------------------

She is indeed looking like a ship that is almost ready for it’s sinking, very close to closing shop on this one.

 

Yesterday I picked up the base from the wood shop. I’m very happy with the look that I had intended.

 Now need to figure out how to properly secure the keel. Then I will measure the height of the mainmast and have a Plexiglas case built.

 The case will also have eight buffered (rounded) edges adding to the cost, but I think that it will look more “polished” that way.

 The ship will live on that glass counter top cabinet that separates the dining area from the living room. Those photos will be removed and it will take its place near the wall.

 Need to still:

Finish poop deck area

Attach anchors and make the buoys

Paint- touch up various knightheads

Fix broken hull canon doors

Make the keel support structure

            Then open Champagne ha ha

 

Cheers,

Excellent work Michael and a very detailed and informative insight of the work involved in rigging a model of a larger vessel:cheers:

I am undecided whether it is better to model a ship with little historical info or one like yours with several sources of info,but ones that at times contradict each other:default_wallbash:

 

Kind Regards

Old Collingwood. Very nice indeed.

 Might have been the first US import with a behind the driver mid-mounted engine. The Turbo variant followed the S2, if memory serves?  Was yours the injected version?

LTE 80s faves of mine as well, I think that Citroen was somehow also involved with the Esprit drivetrain??

But the Esprit V8s were an instant dream of mine. Out of my price range. $90k USD also loved the sheetmetal (I think that one of the designers then went on to work on the Mclaren f1 mid 90s - that is still today a "ridiculous" example of automotive art/tech.......

But fell in budget love with the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (their four wheel drive platform) (It was a 1999) Had one of those till 05– then got my Z – a car that I always wanted as a young teen. Haha (love the 300z twin-turbo)

Nigel Thanks for catching up with my log – much appreciated - So glad that you’ve re-opened your shipyard. As you know, you were one of my teachers. Learned a lot from you, and always appreciated your sage advice. Yes a dilemma indeed. - your comment

 

Frank haha Yes, Now that would have been a real not “fixable" mistake

 

=================================

 

Stern area is pretty much completed. Needs mast, and flag - as well as rear lantern - leaning towards scratch building one Hmmm

Michael a thought springs to mind if you are going to scratchbuild a lantern.If you are going to make a globe shaped one,like this model is often depicted with,then a clear marble or glass crystal sphere would make an ideal base for attaching the frame to and it would act as the 'glazing'.

Kind Regards

Denis,

 

The wood is in fact Western red cedar -well done!!.

 

It looks much too reddish in the posted photo that was taken under 3k soft halogen-ceiling lights.

Here is a more representative shot. Still working on a way to attach the ship to the base. I do not want to drill side holes into the keel.

These four brass Pegasus I had “antiqued” looking. They will add a nice touch.

 

Made a nameplate. Was going to drill small holes at each corner and add brass nails, then I remembered my left over canon door lions. :D

The nameplate (done at a local trophy shop) is not brass – they could not etch my chosen font and text in brass. So instead they laser printed the text on a “look like brass” plastic plate.
