OK guys quick update the mizzenmast is completed all that's left is the standing rigging in the running rigging and all that mess need to add the sails But all the yard alarms are on I even trade seizing up the rope that holds at the bottom yard that was interesting tight squeeze any comments please let me know

Jparsley reacted to RGL in VARYAG by RGL -FINISHED - Artwox - 1/350 - Plastic, resin and photoetch - Protected Cruiser
OK, third last post for this build: I affixed the ships boats, I got to the stage where I had to draw a line, the kit does not include cradles (which it really should) and fabricating them at this scale is quite hard and I think I'd probably just make a mess of it.
I have made a temporary base where I'll park the old girl for a while, I only have to add the rope coils when they arrive.
It's a really nice and very different kit, the Artwox resin is nice, but it is missing many deck fittings and I think the creators went of the Kagareo book a little too much for accuracy when the plans are available. I would like to see some of the resin made available commercially, such as the ships boats and the fairleads. No sea steps, just the original Zvesda bumps on the hull, no mast ladders, no stand for the model at all.
The guns have all been replaced, the kit ones are just too inaccurate. The masts are wrong, the instructions are atrocious, some of thr alignments are not explained and you don't find out till way too late, and some oif the details left on teh fret I'm still scratching my head over.
Whilst I'm a mutt at the photo etch thing, the frets are too thin. I think it they were as thick as the Eduard ones it would be a step ahead,as the detail is very nice.

Ok guys now this part of the build I have really enjoyed The mizzenmast is completed and ready for installation the hardest part I found was tapering the mast and getting them to match the pattern Of course as everyone knows the blocks that are supplied are of poor shape and quality so I did have to reshape them into oval type shape but overall making the mast was fairly straightforward

Hey tom I was looking at my plans and reviewing your build I noticed that your mizzenmast is not the same as my plans Did yours have this extra support

That or salvage what you can and rebuild the lower section so it's a clean build Think you would be much happier than piecing it together and hoping it holds

Ok bowsprit is finished Tried to add a little extra rope work that that the plans didn't show but picked up from other build logs Not installing it or masts till probably late January or February due to we will be moving back to Texas I figured the ship would have a hard time making the long trip so everything mast related will be done off ship
