Masts to glue or not to glue

Hi thanks guys, its 1/84 victory round masts, i am just doing the pendants, but once this is done i will glue them for the shrouds and ratlines. Thanks alot for the advice
-
Hi all, i am getting close to the point where i need to fit the masts permanantly to my deagostini victory, the bow sprit is glued in postion as per instructions, but it says to just fit the masts[no glue] and the rigging will keep in place. I have seen videos on you tube where masts are glued in place so im a little confused as to what to do as this is my first model. Rigging is a bit scary and i need to do the shrouds soon. Any guidance most appreciated thanks

yes Ronald i believe that mark is for reference to where you would start your bend and twist

Hi Meddo i have a build log running although it was originally started on model space. i am due to update it soon, progress is steady as i do a couple of hours a day, although i am feeling the strain, there seems to be no end of cutting and carving with this kit lol
-
from what i remember you mark the frame as the starting point for the bend, and you leave around 25mm at the stern end as this makes it alot easier to bend and twist, once you are happy with the fit you would cut it back to how it looks in the photos ie step 7.

hi allan yes i have one[torch] . i just checked the wire supplied with my occre montanes kit and its far superior no need for torches, i think the copper/ brass content supplied with the victory kit is minimal feels more like steel wire compared, which makes wrapping around the blocks a nightmare, i have ordered 5m of brass wire from my lhs, i dont like having to deal with poor quality parts or material, but there are a few bits on this deagostini kit that are sub par. not good considering the price this kit comes out at
-
Hi guys im currently building the chainwales for model space victory, i need to use wire for the blocks, my problem is im finding the wire very hard and brittle so wrapping it around the block is tricky to say the least, would i be better off ordering some third party soft wire, im assuming it will be more pliable and less springy, i think this wire supplied is not good quality or its me. what do you reckon
-
no problem hope it helps

Hi Ronald the pics are in my build log on model space. go there and look at page 3 of pfcdre victory build log. there you will find pics. https://forum.model-space.co.uk/resource.ashx?a=132202 is the one Alan gave me but there are lots of others that should help you for sure

Hi Ronald, the last rib is 31 and i believe it should be the same height, i remeber having to unglue mine and do it again [ a common mistake] as Alan looked at photos and felt it was sitting too high and he was right i didnt push the rib all the way in. if i can find the pics i will upload them for you, but i have a new pc and phone since and may not have them. But im pretty sure they should be the same height. Just so you know i didnt add any timber to the ribs, for the fairing i only sanded an angle for the planks to sit flush. hope this helps some.cheers
