Wow Phil. "Albatros" looks splendid! Good luck on that rats nest repair. Last week I dropped the PdN and made a quick grab, and my first ever rigging is now my most recent rigging. It was vexxing but accessible at least. It'll be interesting to see your approach to the tight repair, as I am sure Murphy has more in store for all of us and you always take a well thought out approach. Finally, how many more plastic hooks does "Albatros" have? That has been a tough lesson! I hope to make a bunch of brass hooks today, but not as pretty as yours! Good luck pushing her across the line Phil.

Just beautiful!! Congrats to your whole crew! She looks fast on that stand. The new NRG "Ship Modeler's Handbook" says to bias your build on the stand like you have to imply speed, and by jove does she look fast. Glad you went full sails - awesome build and details.

@Dr PR Beautiful hooks Phil. Look pretty consistant to me! I definitely think brass is the way to go - I hope Murphy doesn't catch on to my unsoldered eyes!! Also I am running out of eyepins and see manufacturing those going forward as well. I like the performance of the solid brass in these applications.

@vossiewulf That is awesome!! Thank you!

@Dr PR Hey Phil! Yeah, the hooks are homemade. K&S brass 8159 0.020" diameter. Used a Beadsmith round nose pliers. I want to get a different round nose to make smaller hooks. Got any tips for me? Here's a couple prototype hooks. I am getting better at it. Forming. Knowing where to cut and pinch.

Coils dried so now they are glued to the deck. One down, 17 to go!

Learning the ropes so to speak. Finished all the carronade breaching lines. Working on my first gun train tackles, I am truly questioning the sanity of people who build model ships. 0.125" blocks?? Pencil for reference... But we persevered. My first ever gun train tackle! And then the second. Now trying to coil the ropes, Olha Batchvarov style. She does hers off the ship. My work is not that precise, to say the least. Waiting on the glue to dry. (Story of my life...) Closeup for details: All comments, tips and constructive criticism welcome!
-
Thanks Phil. I am very thankful to have your Albatros build log as reference for the Prince. The Albatros looks great and is just well thought out.
-
Wow Phil!! That is impressive. You have done your fellow modelers a profound service with keen findings. Thank you very much. I had procured Duco on previous recommendation from you. I have used diluted white glue previously and liked how it soaked in and dried with little indication - so the million dollar question: Does Duco soak in and cure to a nice flat sheen, or do you find we will need to use Duco sparingly and possibly dullcoat afterwards? Your tests are compelling! Edit - I see my million dollar question was asked and answered above - "Duco Cement and the Super Glue did not leave a noticeable residue on the ropes and both were better than white glue." The Duco soaks in nicely then?
-
Thank you for sharing this! What wonderful access you have given us!!

Really makes me want to experiment more with shellac as it seems to penetrate really well compared to other options. I would guess the tensile strength is nothing compared to super glue though. 🤔 Glad you're sharing your experiences Phil. Thanks as always.
