good afternoon from a wet thundery Somerset well i have an idea just how big this build is going to get with the stbd lower stun boom now having a home, although it just lifts out to be put away for a year or so the fore mast lower boom is the next on the production line all four anchors are also made, just to make up/experiment making the banding around the stock i have also remade the stbd cat head after the last Murphy visit - i basicly fitted it at 90 degs to the hull, where as it is angled forward

i have a way ahead Longridge the lower boom in the main mast is 61'X 12" 61812/72 = 10.1 inches by approx 4mm the lower boom fore mast is 54'x 101/2" = 54*12/72 = 9 inches x 3.1mm the main mast boom fixing point is on the fwd end of the main mast channel, stiil working out the fore mast location as the channel is aft of the mast
-
thank-you Grant i was just looking where the actual mount was for the lower boom as the main mast location is not shown on the plans, where as the foremast is, all my books or reference all show different lengths as well, so a bit of research is still required, anyway im looking at 81/2 inches approx each for the booms (subject to actual size)
-
can someone help please the main mast lower studding boom is 51' what would this be in 1/72 scale, and is there a conversion chart within MSW 2.0? it looks like both booms when rigged equal the height of the main mast above the upper deck at about 140' many thanks

Please everyone re read my post 461 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

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 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 http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024768/Victory_02.htm all the best - hope you are feeling much better
