kruginmi got a reaction from catopower in Lady Anne by kruginmi - FINISHED - 1:50 - kitbash of Artesania Latina Harvey
Alright, the Lady Anne is the project for the Winter. Time to put it in the done column. Pulled it out of storage, found the Pride of Baltimore plans, and actually found all the masting and sparring I had completed.
I have a ropewalk but I am okay with using stuff at hand. Plus this is a work boat so I don't even need all the rigging matching in color. I pulled out all of the prospective 'rope' I had stuffed here and there. Four sizes from .008 to .025 should do the job, in both tanish and blackish (though I like brown for the shrouds).
Using my thread sorter I think I found the threads that I will use:
The key test (I did pick up blocks from Syren of course) was would the fine thread fit through the 1/8" blocks:
Success! Now to get the workspace organized, make sure the the masts are totally setup then getting onto those ratlines (everyone's favorite part).

Again, the hull form is from the Harvey and as such, I do not feel compelled to make everything absolutely perfect. The goal is to have some fun and focus on rigging.
First step is to take stock of my main mast and see what is left before I can get the really fun task of ratlines. The mast I have made (proportional to the hull) is larger than the Pride of Baltimore II, from which I am replicating the rigging. The as built against the plans bears this out:
I re-acquainted myself with the main mast details and found a few things I have to do, but not too bad. On the mast cap I am actually good. I have re-used the eye bolts that came with the kit as the basis for attaching the requisite blocks.
At the mast bottom the first thing that jumped to my attention is the need for the supports under the boom shelf. That should do it. I have already sealed everything, so will need to scrape and figure out what I used for sealing.....
Last but not least is the tippity top. Here I am missing a portside cheek block for the main gaff topsail. I already have the Krug eye poker protection in place.
With those additions I should be able to affix the mast in place and add the main shrouds.

Hello Sir, really looking forward to seeing this build continue! It has been an inspiration to my build. I took the summer off but hoping to get back to it soon. You are such an incredible model builder! Thank you.

Doing some clean up when I looked at my bench and smiled. The way things ought to be.

kruginmi got a reaction from bruce d in Friends Good Will by kruginmi - 1:48 - Bermuda Sloop - War of 1812
Still have some time on my hands (haha) so worked up the detail page for the hull innards. Still a few notations to make but the pieces, dimensions and how they fit together should make sense.
The only other page I 'have' to make is one showing the outside / finished details in both profile and deck. I have already worked these up on separate drawings. These four pages and the rigging book should document my build adequately. Hopefully highlight the last page in a couple of days.
Also need to ponder the imponderables and think what I could add. Like I just thought a good rear design drawing is needed.

After some very focused effort I have reached a good conclusion (until I start seeing all the errors LOL). Still have some annotation to do (copper wraps and such) but pretty happy right now.

Finally a look at the whole thing:
And yes, Eamonn, will be looking for making some copies and probably hang one at work at least. After putting in a title block.

Current updated plan status. Advice / comments welcome.
The big issue I had was the inability to properly give diameters correctly. Lengths are easier to show at this scale. So I tried to draw them better (within the tolerance available) but also provided the full size dimensions at key areas.
There are also areas that they use alternate methods to build (such as the yard arms) that yield discrepancies with 1800 build practices. For each case I weight the pros and cons. Most of the time I tweek to look more original (I have changed the whole lower hull for Pete's sake LOL). Cheers - Mark

Working through the data. I have the original ship plans but a number of things have been replaced / upgraded and/or changed. So you use the original data as a start, then figure out everything else. I still discover things seemingly every time I look at a photo I have taken.
Biggest a-ha for me is the amount of wrap (copper and leather) used to keep chaffing and wear to a minimum. Never had thought about it in depth before. Makes a lot of sense, but most buried under rigging and never seen.
The masting will definitely fit on a 18 x 24 inch piece of paper. This will make duplication pretty straightforward. Still need further work on the main mast, main boom and gaff. And now that I look at them, probably need titles for each component (for people not as sophisticated as us - haha).

Well, it has been a long time coming, but I think I have the outer hull dimensions complete with good tracings to use. Now to forge ahead and start getting these full bulkheads cut out. Also, on the off time, make up a good set of plans for the future.
