Late 19th or Early 20th Century Running Rigging
BANYAN replied to GrandpaPhil's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Another input, sorry for the late notice. I am building a Barque rigged steam-screw launched in 1855 and I have a copy of her Rigging Warrant and Contracts/Specifications. As with Terry's advice, her standing rigging was mostly steel wire rope (with the exception of the very topmost stays etc. The remainder was mostly riga hemp with a fair bit of chain used for the sheets etc. Hope this helps.

Nice made parts Eberhard. People may be able to buy them sure, but I only resort to that if the part required is beyond my skill level or capacity to make them. A hand-made part is still preferable in my mind. cheers Pat

Nice progress Dave, coming on well. cheers Pat

Iron Stropped Blocks - Kate Cory Whaling Brig
BANYAN replied to Capt. Kelso's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Try Chuck's "Syren" online site (Rigging Blocks for ship models - scale boxwood blocks- swiss pear-2mm scale rigging blocks|3/32" scale rigging blocks and pulleys) as he had a range of internally iron bound blocks available. They are not shown on the page above, but I bought quite a few from him a few years back. He may be able to help you if you contact him (he is a MSW admin if you were not aware of it) cheers Pat -
That's great news mate. Hope all continues to go well. cheers Pat

Looks great Rob. Kidney stones are indeed no fun! I've been there and know what you are experiencing, you did well to work through them. Can't they break them up with ultrasonic treatment to ease things a bit? cheers Pat

Great to hear you enjoyed your vacation Rob, and see you back in the shipyard. cheers Pat
-
That is some extremely well made metalwork Ilhan, your 'smithing' is top notch. cheers Pat

Enjoy the holiday John. You've done a great job with the restoration. So many people will now see her (if not yet complete) in a whole new light but not understand/know the hours of effort put into her. cheers Pat

Those garboard planks went in well Dave, have any problems with them? The 3D armament looks good. I gather you have painted them, what colour/brand did you use? Some great progress mate. I ventured into my shed for the first time in months yesterday. Hoping to make a restart (yet again) this week. cheers Pat

Wow, love that figurine and the uniqueness of the overall design for your stand Rob. Looks great! cheers Pat
-
From what you describe, I think your choice of option 1 is best also. In the end though it is your choice Richard. Is this just for aesthetics or to waterproof them? If the latter, I think you ample coats to do that. cheers Pat
-
Excellent craftsmanship Eberhard, they are looking very seaworthy. cheers Pat
-
Nice work Rob, those channels with the chainplates etc look great. cheers Pat

Thanks Dave, I have a copy (paperback)m of the Sirius Past and Present, and a coffee table book of the First Fleet (the reenactment). Thanks for the feedback; I think only one of those would be useful then (if both are similar in content). I will. go with your advice re Alan Frost. I have a few books on the Investigator and Mather Flinders, as I have great interest in the early cartographers/explorers. The best of these I think is a large format hardcover written by Geoffry Ingleton. cheers Pat
-
coming on really well Dave, that is some pretty neat planking for a first layer. Interesting reference material also; I may need to have a look at one or two of those also. Which would you recommend as the better (all round) of the two 'First Fleet' books? cheers Pat
-
That 'acorn' is probably a ring bolt for the chain stays; certainly that is what they are in the 'Victoria' - the davits look very, very similar. I have been trying to adapt some soft metal ones with no luck. Are these resin prints? cheers Pat
