Hi Thanasis and Frank, Many thanks for your contributions to the discussion and building a much clearer understanding of rigging practices. cheers Pat
-
Glad to see you progressing Mark. That's quite a bit of char to clean off, or are you painting them? WRT the front ports, I am not sure of this, but weren't they there so the forward two guns could be manoeuvred and used in that position as sort of bow chasers? That would then allow enough room - Even if not true - agood enough story to explain their absence cheers Pat

Hi all and thanks for looking in and the comments. Mark T, thanks for that pointer - I will try through them. Mark P - thanks and I agree, that is why I thought it so strange. I think your interpretation may be exactly that. I will have a look at the legend to see which 'running ends' of ropes might have need of a 'fair' lead to secure them properly at the pins without fouling other ropes. That should prove a good pointer to the likely candidates. HMCS Victoria had steel wire shrouds which alone would make fairleads unlikely, so the idea of a shroud fairlead truck (see John's earlier comment and my response below) to create a 'fair' lead for running rigging to belay points is most likely what the author was inferring. John, thanks again; I actually used a couple of those on the Endeavour and should have clicked - Marquardt calls them shroud fairlead trucks. I think you may be right and it is these trucks using a slightly different terminology. Now to to determine their correct positioning which will be governed by where the 'running end' of the rope is to be lead from S.Coleman - many thanks mate, these are shroud cleats but I very much appreciate the input. cheers Pat

Keep you going....? Make you go nuts more like it - good luck with the folding. At least you have the right weather to be doing this cheers Pat

Further to my last, I am also trying to contact the author "Andrew Bowcock" but have had no luck trying - I have tried Chatham Publishing but they either do not exist anymore, or changed emails. If anyone can provide contact details, or put the author in touch with me it would be greatly appreciated. cheers Pat

Thanks John, As you can see from the extract, I am not sure whether he refers to leads for other ropes fitted to the shroud, or to lead the shroud itself? In other parts of the drawings, he usually references whether a rope passes through a lead etc, and he does not reference these other than on this drawing. I have checked Lees, Marquardt and Falconer with no luck so far. An internet search brings up all sorts of things but nothing for a fairlead on the shrouds??? cheers Pat

Hi all, While researching a likely /representative rigging and belaying plan (Barque Rigged) for the HMCS Victoria, I came across the terminology "fairleads" in reference to some of the shrouds. The terminology/discussion from the CSS Alabama: Anatomy of a Confederate Raider by Andrew Bowcock, infers that the lower shrouds were led through fairleads (possibly to clear, or lead, the shroud clear of the roughtree rail, rather than fairleads attached to the shrouds for other rigging. Is this device/rigging technique familiar to anyone? regards Pat

Very nice work Dan, she is looking very much a grand lady of the sea already. I like the way you steadily build up the surfaces; makes an excellent base for the final coats. cheers Pat

Oh wow - very nice Denis - glad you could find some more time to progress her. That is one truly work like trawler! cheers Pat
-
Nice progress Phillip, even at 1:100 she is a might big model (with plenty of planks). cheers Pat
-
Thanks for the pointer Bob; great videos. cheers Pat
-

That looks great Greg, she sure has some great detail for this scale. Your paint scheme is also adding a 'sinister' look making her look all the more the massive battleship she was. cheers Pat
-
Some great progress there Denis; she is looking mighty fine already. WRT to those 5mm pins, they looks a bit fat in the handle; will you be reducing them? cheers Pat

Just found this build Phil, sorry to crash the scene so late - hope you don't mind me tagging along. I am building HMCSS Victoria (1855) which had some common equipment etc to Warrior - see my log at: I will be very interested to see how you approach a couple of items such as the catheads which have a much sharper than usual angle of rise. You have made a great job on what you have completed on a very interesting build (and large) cheers Pat

I had a discussion on shrouds in my log which may be of some help to you Dave. cheers Pat
-
Niiiice! Clean and crisp looking detail on all those parts Rusty. cheers Pat
-
That eagle already has some nice definition Dave. Looks as if that wood is well suited to carving? cheers Pat
