    next stage for me was the fore mast top rope installation...actually it is not necessary to have it in normal sailing condition...but I wanted to have it just for fun During top rope installation I've found that I need to replace mast bitt - this part from the kit was wrong construction and couldn't adopt my top rope...so I fabricated new one from telefon plastic cards... than there was questn how and where to secure running end of this rope...I didn't find better solution but only to install additional cleat...it is funny, but I don't know how it should be arranged on galleon...I didn't find this arrangement on modern galleon sailing replica From the books I only understood that mast bitt should have 4-th sheeve fo this rope

    Next stage for me was just continue to attach shrouds without laniards and when all set was installed left them like this for a moment, than I fabricate fore stay with loop and mouse and install it and adjust nessry lenght ...and after that only it was possible to remove carton and install and adjust laniards...adjusting laniards tighteness took me couple of days due to plastic masts very sensitive and load need to be distributed very smooth As soon as it was done I secured them with drop of CA gel oposite and than made free end of laniard turn around and secured...details of location knob and passing those laniard ends well discribed in "The rigging of ships. In the days of the Spritsail topmast 1600-1720 - Anderson" Mouse I've made from piece of liquid steel ,forming a ball shape(not pear shape like on modern vessel) and imitated stitch by knife + painted later on Shrouds top Loops not served ///as I understood in this time they shouldn't be(continent)

    Hi Matti, Clear, thanks, making my "galleon rigging report" I was thinking in parallel how to make this "the squared holes" ...I mean ,how would I do that...take some steel rectangular cone end rod , heat it up till yellow color and to burn preliminary drilled hole inserting this rod and than sand paper...but this is just my fantasy How You did it in reality?

    Next stage was fore shrouds installation...as soon as it is my first model where I wanted to make more or less full style rigging,I men as much complicate as I can do...I was a little bit afraid to start... One of the unsolved problem which is still remains - I use not proper ropes for rigging but ordinary polyester threads...and appearance is not as it should be when You make Your own ropes...but OK...next model I will do with correct threads,just need to fabricate simplest rope makeing mashine Thread which I used for shroud - hawser laid ,as said -ordinary rope...and same I saw was used on Duyfken replica Above deadeye I didn't make end crossed standing part and didn't make "throat seizing" but just seized end rope to its standing part when rope went around deadeye -finaly have rope end lie forward on sbs and aft on ps ...classical arrangment on modern ship will looks different Thread which I used was preliminary painted by acrylic paint (mix of brown+black+ochre light+raw umber+matt acrylic varnish) - proportion free, just maid it close to dark brown for standing rigging and brown -raw umber- yellow- for running rigging Before start making shrouds I made hard carton pattern where marked pozition of the shrouds+position of upper deadeye+ratline position upper deadeye secured with wire wich I purchased in some shop for sewing hobby and a drop of cyanoacrylate adhesive gel ... The rest of procedure was much easy that I supposed -make shroud goes round of upper deadeye,adjust position ,make it tight as much as possible and hold by clip + secure end of the rope with couple of seizing... forward shroud I made serviced I guess this "technology" is very well known and isn't so interesting... ratlines will be installed at the final stage of the rigging...

    As soon as I solved this problem with bowsprit fixing I went to the mast tackles and made them tight + added imitation of ropes coils

    Hi Matti, I like very much Your style ! and I like galleon as well ,and allways with great interest watch how people work with wood ... Regarding capstan You made - nice job! But I have question...those bars ...the side goes to the capstan head...they need to be rectangular and round all the rest...difficult to see on foto... Did You make them rectangular or left rounded? Thanks Kirill

    Good day everyone, continue with assembling report after completion fore stay lower collar I've try to imitate fore stay load on bowsprit and met with serious problem...see...bowsprit starts moving to ps as soon as I loaded fore stay...look at the picture You can see at least two forces which are forwarded in the same direction of ps and try to pull bowsprit to the same way...it happened due to on galleons bowsprit stays a little bit right from center line and under the angle to the center line ...so finally there is strange picture exists with this effect of bending/pulling bowshprit to the ps , In this period of galleon,at least ,as I understood ,there must be no bobstays ,no bowsprit srouds,no other rigging which keep bowsprit in position exept gammoning...I did only gammoning as it should be///and have this problemm ...on normal vessel ,when bowshprit locates along center line of the vessel ,static forces distributed in other way and such effect I think ,not exists... but even than you see that on the vessel of later period , bowshprit shrouds and bobstays are in use ...and must not be installed on galleon model Finaly I decided to install b-shroud only sbs , just to hold bowsprit in position when all fore stays will be tight Anybody met such problem during building your own vessel of the same period-like Half Moon or similar? and what You did to solve this problem?

    Dear friends, continue posting fotoes of previous months... after boarding net installation I began to arrange / to fit bowsprit blocks...fore stay lower deadeye I decided to secure to bowsprit in some special way ,not by means of spliced collar and round seizing- try to imitate what I saw on Batavia replica...need smthg looks unusual ... And one more strange thing I did,and I guess most of the people building sailing vesells models may not agree with it... I decided don't use sling or any kind of parrel to secure/hold spritsail yard to the bowsprit, but use tie and halliards only, means, thick rope attached to bowshprit - goes through single block suspended to bowsprit- and than ended with halliard tackle near gammoning... at least some kind of such arrangement mentioned in Anderson book, page 212 and what I could recognize as such arrangement looking at contemporary pictures Same and really working arrangement we can see on very accurate Duyfken replica I think such kind of arrangement could exist till begining of the 17 century(end of galleon age) and later on, sling or parrel need to be installed and halliard arranged in different way

    Thank You Very Much Daniel, I listen to Your wonderful building stories (first on german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling) long time and still not get tired Thank You,cheers!

    16 february 2014 , 19:57 It was famous day for me- I clued fore mast - no possible to dismantle anymore and fixed main stay lower collar ...and installed fish davit beam
  11. kirill4
    next idea was, that my galleon needs antiboarding net as well...again,on many pictures of galleon we can see that there was no free access to the main deck...often it was closed by some kind of ?gratings?...to fabricate grating -this task was too difficult for me?and I decided ta make imitation of antiboarding net,which also was in use in this period I've made it frm garlic pakaging neilon net of couse it was not best material,but suitable and fast founded same arrangements with this net I saw on this model of flemish galleon(read spanish on that period -look at the flags) and carvel museum model
  12. kirill4
    waistcloth ,in fact, I made frm preliminary painted percale soaked in white wooden clue mixed with water, to form folds, fabric need to remains wet... fringe I made by unraveling lower part of waistcloth fascia
  13. kirill4
    but for waistcloth installation it was ness-ry to make some modification-to arrange kind of railings
  14. kirill4
    later on I had crazy idea that my galleon need waistcloth...I see this elements very often on contemporary galleon pictures...so I try to fabricate them
  15. kirill4
    than I installed fore mast tackles pendants and arrange tackles and installed pendants on the rest of the masts
  16. kirill4
    when sets of the blocks were ready, I've made supporter for main stay lower collar...I don't know if this device exists on full size vessel,but on my model without this device stay collar rests right on the edge, so I decided to install it than I prepaired(serving) lower mainn stay collar...to connect both ends I did arrangements which looks like this part made on Batavia replika or De_Zeven_Provincien drwngs. Model ,at least in such way how I understood it Final adjustment and Connection those two ends I did after installation masthead tackles
  17. kirill4
    this is the recent part of building... all jobs were done during last couple of months made some preparation for fore mast and bowsprit rigging + painted all ness-ry bloks and made some ring bolts and hooks ,as sample - Duyfken replica

    This is my own version of spanish galleon 1588 rigging...try to make it based on information frm The rigging of ships. In the days of the Spritsail topmast 1600-1720 - Anderson and Peter Kirsch "The Galleon the great ships of the armada era" galleon rigging drwng How accurate it happened I don't know...but I try to do best of mine
  19. kirill4
    continue with masting There was some problem with gammoning arrangement for me...as it should be according to Anderson...when I started making loops I lost control of this process and finaly rejected this idea...so I try to imitate how it looks like on Batavia replica
  20. kirill4
    continue with masting...there are some various artists contemporary galleons pictures wihich I reffer as samples for my models... ps "name"s of those pctrs are wrong,don't look on it...found that for me was very difficult to find old pictures of spanish galleon which painted by spanish artists...most of spanish galleon pictures made by duch artist...and often looks like dutch galleon

    Thanks Steve,welcome! glad to see You...it is interesting for me to complete this project, You know, from historic point of vew,plastik kit of MayFlower or Golden Hind much more accurate...but this kit hull actually very funy and strange in construction as real ship it could not sail at all due to fault and stupid hull construction but as model -nice! Will be nice when You start Your spanish galleon as well...I saw another plastic kit of spanish galleon by Revell 1:96 if not mistaken...but by my opinion this version of spanish galleon 1607 1:100 ,which I'm busy now , looks better,I mean as version of spanish galleon? All the best! K i r i l l
  22. kirill4
    than I making some paint jobs and modified kit mast to make them looks more realistic There is one wooden element added -bowsprit ,which I must to fabricate due to avoid bending when it will be loaded by fore stays...hope no more wood,exept boat mast and spar(done) will be used
  23. kirill4
    Last year I've started with blocks fabrication,made them partly from liquid steel paty(forming) and partly from epoxy...frankly speaking I hate this stage because of monotonic job and nessry to fabricate huge q-ty of this blocks and dead eyes
  24. kirill4
    thisn is abt my "experiment " with boat sail making and rigging
  25. kirill4
