lol - i fail to remember who you are referring too -
i understand that, but unable to understand, or read why it is an uncovered deck, im not suggesting that a couple of cabins were built in that area and the ships boats stowed on top of that, but it would have given a better opportunity for stowage, im sure i will find an answer one day
-
Dafi me again why is the whole area open - the skids are there to supports the ships boats, but why is it not all enclosed in the first place
-
how does the possibility of the spare spars (including stun booms) fitting on the channels
-
sorry i missed the promotion
-
lol - i looked at them this morning as i had not progressed any more on that - and it has gone, miles to big, and out of scale

Hi Nick You are just behind me in progress, lovely to see another build of this vessel, we do seam to be taking over at the present time did you one post your progress on the old MSW site? Look forward to your continued progress and hope she will not be put away for another 6 years all the best

Total build time 895 hours

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
