I wonder if the methods of lashing the sheer poles changed over the years as other aspects of a ship's rigging changed...

I can'g believe anyone has the space or the time to do this size of a project. Do you do this professionally? WOW. This is truly a work of art.- 728 replies

Cutty Sark by NenadM

Looking great Nenad. Popeye, stairs are an art. Once upon a time, the house carpenter had the stair builder come in to build and install stairs. They are tricky. Weird angles, they need to have a rise of just the right size of the feel of them will be off. If they curve or are angled, they need even more attention. My dad has built a number of staircases and he's just starting to get good at building them straight. A curved or angled staircase…… I wouldn't even attempt it. Modern ones are prefab and cut to fit the space after the prefab unit arrives. No more art to it. Not like our modelling craft here. There's art to what we do here. Back to Cutty Sark, sorry.- 4,152 replies

This is a beautiful build.

WOW. a 1:48 HMS Victory. Awesome work. In the full scale boatbuilding threads I usually follow and contribute to, we have a "Standard reference for scale". It is known to many as a "beer bottle". Gives us a good idea of the scale of things we're seeing in a picture. Maybe some scale reference would be nice to see how big she really is. Great work. Look forward to seeing her progress.

I had never considered the round gun ports in the forecastles and stern castles of those ships. Paintings were not really to scale. Seeing the inside of your forecastle, I see that they are smaller guns, mounted on a shelf about waist height. Is that the case or am I seeing this wrong? The work looks great. Interesting to learn about new things and ships from those times are new to me. Cheers, Daniel

I'd be more than happy to be doing that. Once or twice. Having to do it year after year to put bread on the table….. not so awesome. I'd give a limb at this point to sail around the world in a clipper ship in all weathers in every ocean….

Looking good. I love those 74s.
-
Looking good. Slow and steady but not too slow.

Awesome. What a ship she must have been. If it wasn't for the fact that her enemy was the unintimidatable RN, I'd say anyone would have feared engaging her.

Looking awesome.

Looking good. Cross a few more yards now…..

Pics. we need pics.

How does it compare to the 98 storm?
-

She's coming together. Let's see what she's like in a few months time.
-
She's looking good.

Are Thermopylae's boat skids on the forward deckhouse?
-
OOOOO, lookin' good to me.

My brother build this one. Not sure why he won't steer me straight on her.
