Soleil Royal by yancovitch
kirill4 replied to yancovitch's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1501 - 1750
100% Agree!!! -
Michael, I dare say, you are the first person in my memory who tried, and by the way, very successfully and very authentic for the 17th century, depicted retracted topsails !!! My respect and respect! Great job!!!
-
On the pictures, looks like clews rising up from the mast top platform to the lead blocks on the yard?
-
Michael, You just read my mind! :)))- fake furled vertical section! I think it will work as need!:) All The Best!!! Kirill
-
Michael, Why didn't You make topsail furling like this? It looks like ,not the first time( not the first Vasa ,not first galleons), people try to avoid any possible ways making this pure style of 16-early 17th topsails furling ... which makes me crying every time... again not! :((( :)))... don't understand why?... it is so specific thing in topsails furling for this time...details You could read in Harland book "Seamanship in the age of sail",

Good day Michael! Looks Fantastic! Great! All the best! Kirill
-
Good day, Thank You very much for your attention and kind comments!:) I m glad You like my little galleon experiment .

-
Good day, My congratulations - good model You made ! All the best!
-
Good day! Well Can Imagine how difficult what You are doing now! However it looks Great ! With single lead blocks for main and main top gallant stay on the fore mast - it sounds good and quite acceptable solution!!! wasa_31.tif wasa_31.tif

Good day, I never saw gulls directly interact with people like this birds do
-
Michael, funny thing I was 100% sure You made those small deadeyes from copper strip :))) together with chain as single unit and that white middle area was light reflecting on the photo but now I see it was made from plastic strip and painted at the ends as wood ... very interesting how mind could play with seen objects makes You believe in existing of fiction things :)))

#232 ! near by kimono silk thread

Michael, you are a very modest person! Perhaps such things for the participant are happening unnoticed, but from the outside the difference is very obvious !!! Rex makes his rigging differently, not as detailed as you ... if you follow the link that Mark left, this difference is obvious ... So that's great ! The more good models and ways to create them the more interesting !!! All the best!!!
-
Good day, Thank You very much for information about process and of using threads ! Is clear now!Very informative! All the best! Kirill
-
Michael, Please give a light , What do You use for making your crowfeet, which thread? Looks pretty good ! What is it...maker ,p/n, etc.? Could You make sometimes really macro shots of some most complicated spots where You spent most of the time for rigging ... for me would be interesting to see how did You manage rigging of that topsail halyard spinnkloben which is in my opinion very fragile part but difficult to see how You did it?
-
Thanks for the link Marc! may be there were some private issues why he decided to leave all that platforms ... good to hear that he is OK and continue building his models
-
Hi Michael! Great job! I dare to notice that you have already surpassed the Rex Stewart in the skill of rigging work!😲 The general detailing and accuracy of the extension of the binding of blocks, crowfeet, deadeyes, even for a larger scale, would be worthy, not to mention such a small one in which you are now working! Keep it up!
-
Good day, Thanks wefalck , it is interesting fact that "... precious decorations were actually removable at least on some types of ships." I knew that there were some troubles due to weights and sizes of the decorations... but didn't realise they could be removable in some cases... All the Best! Kirill
