Kevin,

 

Three pictures for you with the Victory with stunsails set.  First is "Victory on the Atlantic Chase"  by Geoff Hunt.  Next is "Victory and Squadron in Light Airs", also by Geoff Hunt (I have this one, signed by the artist).  Last is "Victory- On the Way to Glory" by Tim Thompson.  Geoff Hunt's paintings are remarkable for historical accuracy.  I'm not so sure about Tim Thompson's!

 

Look at all them stunsails!

 

Patrick

Patrick, thankyou

 

i have spent quite a bit of time looking for that sort of thing- with out success

 

look at the width of them now, that must be nearly 2/3 of the length, 

 

FANTASTIC

Please everyone re read my post 461

 

 

lol it does not take much for people to realize that a 1st rate is not for me - i perhaps should have stuck to the Amerigo Vespucci - as i am not displaying many of the items that make up this fine vessel, and i want to display all set sail, when in fact i doubt she would have ever done so, - well not stuns any way

 

i was refering to having a 1st rate in build, but not displaying all of the teeth to which she is fitted with, lol but full of ideas to fully set all the cloth on the masts, - maybe badly worded though

 

I AM FAR FROM THROWING THE TOWEL IN, LIKE OTHERS I WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO MAKE BETTER PROGRESS

 

David  - gun-ports - i have since the last photo closed the fully open one, as it looked a little silly at this time, i have no regrets on the decession to have them all in some form of semi open 

 

so please be re assured - the build is continuing and i will be full of my little bits of wit and try to ensure the murphy does not come back to hamper my work, thank-you everyone for your concerns

this is going to be like a childs game - the last block removed before it topples over to the 100

dont let me get the 100th page

Keith - this shortcut is the link to the prototype build

it also shows a shortage of gun-ports for the bows, i then forgot to rectify it when i found out, i can only presume that the bending of this template to fit would break around the cutout- but it could still have been marked - with a line - never mind, im sure im not the first or last to have the problem

Lol - it was a mistake, an honest mistake

just think if i deleted it - it would take longer to get to 100

so by not deleting - i am helping out - this repost - well is that a mistake?

Kevin, it is actually easier without the upper masts on. I can seize an eye into the upper ends of the shrouds and then slip it over the mast head, rather than havin to feed everything around and try to seize in place.

 

Grant... Yes my workspace looks like the victim of some tornadic experience.... But everything is within arm's reach

 

Andy

agreed - my thinking was - the oooooooooops incidents during the next stepping

lol - i have just seen roughly how wide my build will be with all the stun sails set- makes it almost as wide as long
