Bounty by Gentlegiant - Artesania Latina

I mist something with the Mizzen Mast ??

In the other picture 

 

Kidding aside, looks like page 96?, perhaps he didn't need it for that particular illustration, or could it be an error? 

 

The following pages don't have it either, but the Mizzen Topgallant is addressed in the mast construction section.

Hi GG,

 

Yes, I've been very busy and haven't made much progress on my Bounty.  Your moving along nicely with the build 

 

I purchased replacement wood for all the mast parts (dowels were horribly warped).  How do yours look?  

[Gentlegiant]

Mine look good your main deck look realy nice i never see a deck like yours i wait for the hull planking :-)

[Gentlegiant]

For the Main Mast i don't know watt is the part 567 somebody knows ?

[donrobinson]

I believe that  is just showing you the portside cheek, #568 being the starboard side

[Captain Al]

GG, Boyd asked me to chime in on this so here goes... to the best of my knowledge (from building the same kit and finishing the mizzen mast), this part 567 is a 'cheek stiffener' and it goes UNDER the part 568 (which I believe is called the chocks).  In real life these give strength to the mast.  I found that I could not lay the stiffener and the (curved) chock smoothly together on the mast, so I eliminated the stiffener.  I simply put the chock up against the mast after I filed the face of the mast on each side flat so the chock wouldn't roll around and would have a flat glue surface.  I don't think much is lost by not putting the stiffener under the chock, but I do admit it was a lazy move on my part.  You will see these same parts on the mizzen and foremast, only with different part numbers.  I think on the mizzen they are parts 590 and 591.  I have only built the mizzen so far and perhaps when (if) I get to the main and foremasts I will put these stiffeners on.  But perhaps not.  No harm no foul as they say.

[Gentlegiant]

Thank you very much Captain Al . I follow your log and i found a lots of responce for my built.

[donrobinson]

Gentlegiant, I like it at the same not.

For showing details it is perfect, but if you are looking for lighting as it was in the days, there is way to much.

Now it's time to experiment (dimming) to see if you can get low light (yellow color) it can be tricky.....

But I like what you have done.

Keep it up!

[Gentlegiant]

Thank you Nirvana i work on that

[Gentlegiant]

This set up is more realistic.

[Gentlegiant]

I short off one off the three battery off the Dell light kit and i use PVC glue on the plastic off the dell light.

Now it's time for the dead eyes .

[Gentlegiant]

[Gentlegiant]

Somebody knows watt this curve rope in blue on the AL rigging plans mean?

[Ulises Victoria]

If I remember correctly, they are shown curved just to avoid confusion with the rest of the drawings.
