Those *Whiskers* are problematic for sure. I made a base with vertical poles in front of them to prevent me from bumping them. Rob

I look through my pics. Here is a scale comparison between the Cutty and my new Glory of the Seas. Amazing size difference. 960 tons compared to 2100 tons. This is an old CS I built 25 years ago. Rob

I'm not sure...I think Fine Scale Modeler drew their images from a website I no longer use for the image capture. What images in particular are you seeking? Rob

Thanks Pat. I couldn’t imagine trying this with cloth or silk span. Most folks are fearful straying away from accepted methods and materials. It’s the end result….Not the material used. Rob

Thanks for all the fine compliments. I rotated the model and began the port side rigging. I’m getting there, but still bunt lines and tidying up (rope coils). I’ll leave the braces off for now so as not to bump them. Nearly ready to add the final touch……the pendant gaff and old Glory. Rob

They turned out swell. Good job. Rob

Started rigging the cross jack by adding the fair leads for the bunt lines and the lifts. Getting close finishing the starboard side. Still lots to do. Rob

I personally had to try twice to get it right, myself. Rob

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Rob

Good job……..but one fearfully evident issue pops up right away. The bands at 1/96 should be a scale 3’ apart…..roughly 3/8”…..center to center. Or at least symmetrical. Your final product looks very nice, but I fear the second attempt banding is too far apart for the scale. Sorry for the criticism. Rob

I completely agree……and you read my book……I used this authentic furled method because it actually does eliminate the work needed to make the jackstays as you mentioned. Still the effect is authentic and convincing. Thanks for the fine comment and observations. Rob

The crossjack is a more significant sail, so I made sure I made it slightly larger in quantity. Thanks for the compliment. Rob

I’m following the chart, but knowing some practices may be different. I will use license as well. Rob
