HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64


Recommended Posts

John ( Neptune ) send me a PM about they stay's......

Why I did them first instead of the shrouds.

Normally I'm not out of words but this time.......

Stupid me !!!!!!!!!!

First the shrouds and then the stay's !!!!!!!!

Beginner !!!!!!!!!! :(  :(

I hope I can put the shrouds under the stay's or I have a BIG problem !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

John, thanks you so much that you let me know what I do wrong !!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sjors

Hello Sjors. I hope this is not too late and that is helpful. The way I do it is place the shrouds around the mast tops but let them hanging freely. Then the stays go over the shrouds. I tie the stays where they belong and THEN go to finish deadeyes and lanyards on the shrouds. This way you don't have the shrouds in the way when tying the end of the stays. 

Hope this helps.

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Thank you all !

Also for the likes....... :D  :D  :D

 

@ George,

 

I think forward  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Robert,

 

Thank you  :D  :D

 

@ Mark,

 

I give the rigging spiders special food...

A lot of rope !!!!!!

 

@ Bill,

 

Thanks !!!

It looks easy when it is finished.

But at the time you are playing with the rope, there are words what you don't want to see when you write them down !!

Or when you take the scissor and you cut the wrong rope !!!!

Then it's not that easy ....

 

@ Elijah,

 

Thank you very much !

 

When all the masts and spars are on it, I need a ladder to take pictures !!!!!

 

@ Ulises,

 

I'm sorry to tell you my friend, but you are to late !!

Everything is done at the moment.

The shrouds are done, the lanyards are finished ( only the lower shrouds of course ) the platform deadeyes are on it with the shrouds that goes to the futtock staves.

The futtock staves are finished and the caterpillars are also between the shrouds  :D  :D

Next thing to do is tying a few thousand ratlines !!!!!!!!

 

@ Bob,

 

Thank you.

 

And is any  build not all the time solving problems ?????

But that's what I love and I'm happy when it works out !!

Can you ask some people to make a little room for me at your Granado ???????

 

 

@ Popeye,

 

Thank you very much !!

 

@ Pat,

 

Thank you also !!!!

 

Welcome at my log  :D  :D  :D

You are never to late, you are just on time .... :D  :D

I don't go anywhere and it will takes a time before she is finished !!!

After a few re-do's ( cut a shroud instead of a ratline at the fore mast )

I have make the lower shrouds and the ratlines.

Futtock staves and catharpins.

I must say, after I cut the shroud I have remove all of it at the foremast and re-do the shrouds.

They are better then the first time.

So the re-do was not lost time.

Only use a little more rope......

 

I can talk and talk but I think that you wanna see some pictures.

Here they are.

For all the troubles you've gone through, the result is wonderful. The ratlines look great (as does everything else). You might, however, want to try to keep it simpler in the future. :D  :D  :D

Thank you all !!!!!!

 

@ Bob,

 

Why try it simple when there is a possibility to do it difficult ???? ;)  ;)

 

@ Mark,

 

it was not my idea to take a picture like that.

I've seen it somewhere and just love that shot.

It has something.......

 

Again thanks for the good words and the likes !

Update time.

 

All the rigging Gnomes are on the way home again.

They have finished all the shrouds and ratlines  :D  :D

And I must say.....they did a very good job !

Thanks Gnomes.

Enjoy your vacation on the way to another builder from MSW somewhere on the planet !

Sjors: Between your work and Mobbsie you are making the work on the masts a lot easier with my Agamemnon (Im just building the lower masts). I just hope my ratlines look as great as the ratlines on your Agamemnon. Congrats on how they turned out!

Wonderful ratlines, Sjors.   When did you fire the spiders and hire the gnomes?

Thank you all for visiting this log  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Mike,

 

Welcome back ????

I have to take a look at your log.

I didn't know that you are back.....

Thanks for the good word.

I will post as many pictures as possible when I'm under the way of rigging.

Not from every rope I will do but you know what I mean.

And if there are any questions.....just ask !!!!!

 

@ Christian,

 

Also thank you !!

 

@ Grant,

 

I want to give them rum but I found a little note that it is saying that they are on the way to SRC ( Sam )

They want to see the city of Angles...... ;)

 

@ Mark,

 

You are right,

 

I have fired the spiders because after the first attempt of rigging I have to trow everything away.

So I ask the Gnomes and they are doing a wonderful job.

And like everyone else......I only goes for the best  :P

 

@ Mario,

 

Welcome at my log.

There is a seat next to Mark so you can talk a little about the good old day's on MSW 1

And thanks  :D

 

@ Pat,

 

Thank you !!!!!

I'm happy that you still visiting me  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Popeye,

 

Thanks for the kind word about the SHROUDS !!!!!!!

I've make them  :D  :D  :D

The ratlines are make by the Gnomes and you are not totally happy with it ???? :P  :P
