Cutty Sark by Bruma - Revell - 1:96
kirill4 replied to Bruma's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1851 - 1900
Good day, Dear Bruma, Great job! I never tire of admiring it, I look at it with pleasure every time! looks very cool! I have some doubts about whether the tension of some rigging of the lower sails is shown correctly in this scenario of the position of the yards... would it be more logical to see tight tacks and loosened sheets on the windward side and vice versa on the leeward side of the main sails ...? Clews of the windward side of main sails pointed aft maybe looks a little strange ? I meant it should be looks like this ...?- 384 replies

Good day Michael, This is the model ,where some interesting details could be found... prototype(1671) ,as I could understood from model description,was made in old fasion style, even bowsprit still placed not in central line...guess some of details of this model still could be usefull for SOS in some respect..

perhaps an easier option would be to install the sails on the yards in advance, with all their running rigging, and then install the yards with the sails in place and move the running rigging in places... due to the abundance of running rigging, in my opinion of course, it will be fantastically difficult to install sails on already installed yards... however, I wish you successful overcoming of difficulties if such appear on the horizon, and completion of construction

Round deadeyes for 16th century 👀👀👀 weknowthatyouknow but this is hermetic info , not for your uncle 😊
-
Good day Ferrus Manus, To simplify process and making all upper deadeyes stay in line I would strongly recommend to use carton pattern where upper deadeyes temporarly secured by softwires.... details of this process You could see in hundreds or even thousands building reports of our brothers "in arms".....😊😊😊
-
100% agree with Michael! Dear Ferrus Manus , In this stage of Your modeling skills, these ugly plastic shrouds where ratlines are the same thick as shrouds itself ,, just will spoil your entire model built... it is time to make all your own rigging, as Michael said! All the Best! Kirill

Good day Bill, this is from Kirill :))), Please consider , that I'm not at all experienced ship model builder, and all I posted this is just my solely private thoughts / point of veiw ...:) When I saw models of D.Shevelev , it made a very big impression on me and later on I tried to find more information about him and his works... and tried to follow his findings and style , ? in my own work, of couse in very small conserns ,due to absolutely different levels of outcome :))) but ok, back to our questions... if You like idea to darkening your running rigging lines, I would like to reccomend to use water deluted artists acrylic paint - ochre + umbra natural... in such extand which will give You desired "hemp " color... it could be easily applied on installed running /standing rigging... by soft wide brush, desired intensive could be reachead by appling a few coats... or You could use artistic oil paints as D.Shevelev used, I didn't use them yet, but it is in my plans for my next palstic model///

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
