Good day, Dear Michael , Thank You very mach! I see...clear which colors were used, but How Do You make and reach this grain effect? Which technics or tools were used to create grains on the primered surface? It looks damn realistic!!! :))) when I see it on the foto ,it looks absolutely like warnished wood!!! For my wood painting I used artistic acrylic paints - mix of some suitable colors: 1.base - grey or black primer from spray can 2.than PLAID barn wood No 936 sometimes could be used 3.than use sand color or caramel color PLAID No 452 4.that for making grain effect I use some mixed "earth" and "brown" colors or use strait PLAID "stain" No 817 - which is very nice for woodening some small parts like blocks and others details... When I painted masts and spars I used metal brush to apply and distributing (when it was still wet)final mix of acrylic paints for making grain effect post No14 in my build

Мichael, Looks very nice!!! It is difficult to detect , your masts and spars and other natural color " wooden" elements , made from wood? Or it is nicely painted plastic? Looks like I missed you explanation...If You gave such in the past? Great work !!!

Hello everyone!!! Comrades ... it's a shame to make this building with such delay... I'm making modest attempts to complete this long-term construction ... I'm trying to finish the anchor buoy + anchor gear arrangements based on information from John Harland "Seamanship in the age of sail"

Looks Fantastic!!! Very realistic!!! Beatiful job!!! Please give detail description how You made them, with foto if available... how did You reach such realistic positions of the sails, *their wind filled itself and *positions on stays , at the certain angles to the central line...there are no visiable wires or some kind of additional supporters? Just Enigma for me!!!:)))

Looks nice, and size looks quite proportional... There is foto ,how it looks on Duyfken replica
-
OK,You are Welcome !
-
This one You called "lift" is spritsail halliards, lifts is another rigging lines... bowsprit has all the same riggings/same names as normal vertical mast has...
-
Did You make spritsail sling? Can't see on the picture...
-
Good day Tomasz, I reply in message box...
-
Oh,I could share digital version with You for free( I got it free from one of colleque).. IF you wish, give me your e mail ,I will send my digital copy to You for private use...
-
Wish You luck!!! :)))

Good day, Yes, this book... there are very detailed drawing of small english galleon with rigging plan and belaying points diagram... It is very good as source of information for your model...actually Hoeckel gives the same ,identical galleon reconstruction in his book...I don't know who is author of this drawing , but in rigging details , it is quite correct and very popular in ship model building comunity...:)))
-
Last two pictures in your post #122 ...looks strange.... One is Someone amateur interpritation , and another one- bad quality copy of Mondfeld reconstruction...why not to use original sources?
-
Good day Tomasz, From my side have nothing to add more to my previous posts... by my only private opinion ,all that You need for galleon ( your model) rigging condenced in a few books and reconstruction ( which I consider as best of the best): *Anderson book( detailed description of almost each rigging lines) *Mondfeld/ Hoeckel *R.Aker G H version (+ E.Troppmann reconstruction drawings)- this I like very much!:) *Or reconstruction of Mayflower II by W.A. Baker " The Mayflower and other colonial vessels"...Another exeleht example! With lot of infotmation... Each One of this book /+ drawings will complitely cover any galleon rigging questions... :))) There is no need else to arrange any more global investigations on subject :)))
-
Maybe There is sence to add some belaying points for spritsail running rigging near the bowsprit area, where it penetrates trough bulkhead? Or before gammoning?
-
It is not clear from your pictures how You managed spritsail sling and You missed one block in the middle of the spritsail yard( seems You cancelled it by mistake), and one/ pair of it/ fitted on the bowsprit/ these two blocks will make spritsail halliard/ which is ness- ry for yard hoisting and lowering. Pozition of the spritsail need to be moved to the aft, a little bit, It need to be shifted behind fore stay lower deadeye-this will give ness-ry space for spritsail moving up and down using halliard... For better understanding bowsprit rigging arrangement pls refer to relevant article in R.C.Anderson book... Actualy this book contains almost 90% information ness-ry for galleon model rigging...
-
Or we could use Hoeckel/ Mondfeld rigging as variant...there are some minor differences from Eugen T. version of rigging
-
Good day, Dear Tomasz, I meant Eugen Troppmann reconstruction based on Raymond Aker GH reconstruction... Or You could use rigging plan from book "Mayflower and other colonial vessel"
-
Rigging plan in Your own building , Post #9 ... no good? :)))
-
Thanks Michael, Very complicated construction as I could see on the model's foto... Details still not fully clear to me... interesting, why they need to be separated in two parral systems? I see there are 5 rows in total?
