rwiederrich Posted February 18, 2019 Author #814 Posted February 18, 2019 Now I'm going to focus on rigging (alternately) the fore stays and fore backstays along with the final foremast remaining yard halyards. As I get higher up the masts the issue of bending and sagging of stays becomes the real problem. So much pre-thought has to go into the next phase of rigging. Stay sail and jibs sails will need their halyard and downhaul blocks rigged as well...and not too early or late..as to block myself in or out of a situation. Belaying the topgallant downhaul line to its lin aft on the rail between the rail and house was the thing of total frustration.

The stays need to be threaded through the cringles prior to install and that can be problematic...that is why I pre-make the stays with hooks and eyes so I can re-attach them after the stay sail/jib sail is installed.

Bob Cleek Posted February 22, 2019 #826 Posted February 22, 2019 Getting the sails done well on a square-rigged model at this scale is no mean feat.

Wonderful work, Rob! Bob...If I hadn't created these paper sails before on other models...and by that, gaining the necessary experience....I surely would have never put sails on this particular model using cloth. Large weave, heavy, un-naturally wrinkly sails that just hang lifeless on your model can be an extreme disappointing distraction. Much labor is even required to install such out of scale sails......labor that was needlessly expended IMHV. I agree with your assessment....I'm very pleased with the results... Since these sails are made of paper and not cloth, makes no difference. It is the final result not the material that draws the welcome compliments and admiration of the beholder, not to mention a far superior realistic sail that captures motion and action. It's definitely labor intensive...but also very forgiving. This is why I adopted *off ship* techniques. Add the sail details while the mast is off the ship so as much detail can be added without the general incumbrancers found while working on the model proper. I try to work smarter not harder, and as you well know clipper ships had an intensive rigging scheme. Ed on his Young America would be the first to agree....I'm trying to attain the same attention to rigging detail as he.....just in a much smaller scale. Thank you Bob for your extremely nice comments. Your encouragement means the world to me.

rwiederrich Posted February 22, 2019 Author #828 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) One thing I might point out....I purposefully set the sails at a 20degree cant so that sails never fully overlap. I also placed name plates of the model on both sides of the display base so that I could turn the model for a starboard or port viewing. If the model is at a port viewing stance, then you can see fully the running rigging and inner sail rigging detail very easily on all masts. The back side of the sails has just as much detail as the front with all its buntlines and reef points. The opacity of the sails adds to the realistic impression. I tried to adequately overcome many of the supposed pitfalls accompanied with sail addition to models, like, *sails block rigging detail*, *sails diminish overall detail*, *Poor sails lessen the overall model*, and many similar distractive criticisms. I only hope more builders become ambitious and try paper sails on their own models and that they can work past the dogma that over sized, out of scale sails is all they have to work with...so they opt out. A sailing ship is beautified by her sails....they are what make her what she is. So model them too.

I hope you have the space to put the model in the middle of a room so the viewer can walk around it! Contrary to the "sails hide the rigging detail" conventional wisdom, if the sails are done well with full running rigging detail, as you note, the running rigging on the sails "working" demonstrates for the viewer what all those lines are designed to do far better than a lot of lines run through blocks and back down to the deck, or worse, no running rigging at all.

rwiederrich Posted February 23, 2019 Author #836 Posted February 23, 2019 Prior to the addition of the backstays....I needed to finish adding the fore topsail halyard and the topgallant halyard and their purchases. With the addition of padeyes and blocks to accompany them. popeye the sailor, Keith Black, Valeriy V and 3 others 6 Quote Current build: Build log: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25382-glory-of-the-seas-medium-clipper-1869-by-rwiederrich-196 Finished build: Build log: of 1/128th Great Republic: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13740-great-republic-by-rwiederrich-four-masted-extreme-clipper-1853/# Current build(On hold): Build log: 1/96 Donald McKay:http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4522-donald-mckay-medium-clipper-by-rwiederrich-1855/ Completed build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/475-196-cutty-sark-plastic/ The LORD said, "See, I have set (them) aside...with skills of all kinds, to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts."
rwiederrich Posted February 23, 2019 Author #837 Posted February 23, 2019 Similarly....the main topsail yard needed to have its halyards and purchases added as well in similar fashion...with one difference. I chose to represent the port main deck winch involved with the lift of the yard. All of this detail had to be added before the backstays were installed. It would have been a nightmare of the highest caliber, if these details had been overlooked and attempted to be added later.

BANYAN Posted February 24, 2019 #839 Posted February 24, 2019 Looks good Rob and quite timely for me as I grapple with "Victoria's' purchase winch locations. I will now have to revisit my decisions to ensure I have thought it through enough as your solution may change my plans also. cheers Pat mtaylor, Keith Black and popeye the sailor 3 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
