I see it now! Thank you for showing me. A lot of times, i don't understand until someone tells me. I will do that with the bonaventure lateen sail. -
Oh, your build log! I think that got lost in translation. I looked there and found where you did the crow's feet for your mizzen lateen sail.
-
At first i did not know where to find where you did your crow's feet, but then i searched and found it.

Remember, I do not know many of these tips and tricks, and i have so much more to learn from you. However, if this is a waste of your time, i will leave and do my model alone. I enjoy your presence very much, because i always learn something whenever you are here.
-
Ah! Thank you! I will do that next time i have to do crow's feet. By the way, i did not understand your first message. Thank you for the advice, however. I will try it, i have plenty of CA. I sometimes use CA to straighten lines, and i always use it on my knots.

How did you imitate gravity on your lines? Как вы имитировали гравитацию в своих линиях?

@kirill4 @72Nova I know you guys have a massive appetite for crows' feet, just like me. So, here you go. That's the mizzen lateen sail, done.

More Kirill bait here! The mizzen Lateen sail is almost done! All that's left to do is the peak halyard.

I would greatly appreciate it if you guys would come hang out at my Galleon build. Maybe we could throw a party on the deck! @72Nova (my name is also Michael) Your work is only eclipsed by the one and only Kirill. It genuinely looks so much larger than it really is, which makes it all the more impressive. To be honest, your ropework is absolutely incredible. You two would make an amazing duo, and i have much to learn from you.
-
Kirill!!! I cant believe you're back!! How was your fishing trip? My galleon is waiting for you. You certainly are a sight for sore eyes.
-
I kind of feel bad continuing the build before @kirill4 checks my work. We'll wait for his approval. Lots has changed since he was last here.

Over the last two days, i rigged the lines for the mizzen lateen sail. The reason i rigged the lines now instead of on the ship was the issue of room on the ship. As we go progressively aft and up on the ship, it gets narrower and narrower. This issue of room also boils down to the massive number of shrouds on the main mast. At least i have enough room to belay everything.

Greetings from Ukraine from Igmar.
Ferrus Manus replied to Igmar's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome to MSW!! I look forward to seeing your builds. Feel free to ask questions and, of course, show off your talent! Perhaps you would like to visit my Galleon? I look forward to further interactions with you very much. -
Where have you been?

This is the finished mainyard, after the martnets and bowlines were completed. I actually had to stop belaying lines on the rails just in front of the sterncastle bulkhead, as it just got too inaccessible. I opted instead for the bulkhead rail itself. If only i had an inch tall mini-me to help me out. Got that nice feel of a legitimate contemporary painting. What i genuinely love about this model is that it legitimately shows an action scene, instead of the sails and rigging just sort of hanging there. Personal preference.

@kirill4 YOU'RE BACK!!!! YES!!!! 😄

That actually happened during the Siege of Tenochtitlan in 1521. They built a trebuchet without combat engineers, and it did exactly that. Last time the weapon was ever used in combat. Both the Spanish and Aztec versions of the story recall, in detail, the trebuchet incident. Look it up.

Mind you, this build has never been unfun. I just needed a short breather from the insane amount of experimentation. Anyways, back to the show. Today i got the main course mostly completed. I did about the same process as i did on the fore, just over a larger area. I did something interesting on this sail. I purposely kept the yard lower than it should be, in order to give the sail the room to properly billow, as per many paintings of the time.

Oh come on, dude. I need an opinion, not affirmation. Thank you for the encouragement.
-
Been really tired the past several weeks, so i haven't done anything on the build. Anyway, i recently acquired a 1/50 scale viking ship. Simple build. Should i do that in the meantime to calm my nerves, or should i continue with the galleon and then do the viking ship when it's done?

The 2017 instructions are absolutely horrendous. Use the old instructions.

I bent the main course to the yard. On the left of the yard, you will see two paint bottles on their side. This is intentional. After i lashed the sail, i inserted the foot of said sail between the two paint bottles. Then, i draped the sail over the one on the right. Leaving it for the good majority of a day resulted in the curve you see in the sail. The purpose of this was not to finalize the curvature of the sail, but instead to encourage it to remember a rough shape, making it more willing to obey the lines that will eventually attach to the free corners of the sail, which will finalize the billow.
