Baker Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share #511 Posted October 4, 2020 We do have a colorful language. Just search for "kinderkopjes" (heads of little childs) on google... Continue with the upper part of the main mast. Building the top of the mast (not the "mast top" ) glued in place and sanded And a test fit. It should become something like this. Someone (I) forgot that the mast must also have a support on the lower deck. So I drilled a hole in this deck and hammered a nail in it And drilled a hole in the mast. plan B but effective And discovered my first rigging problem. Long time ago a modeller had the same problem.

On almost all ships with the fore mast in front of the fore castle it is attached to the bow (in a hole in the beakhead knee). On ships with the fore mast in the fore castle you see all the possibilities. Rules, habits, or maybe they had the same problem at the shipyard every now and then and they just did what suited them best. In this era, information is sometimes unclear. But When the fore mast is so far forward, she has less support in the ship than when she is in the fore castle. Perhaps the strength of the fore mast was not trusted to absorb the extra forces of the forestay of the main mast. If I still got my lessons in mechanics right The setup with the foremast in front of the fore castle can only absorb forces in the forward direction (2 support points). The setup with the foremast in the castle can (should) absorb forces in both directions (multiple support points). Who knows??

Louie da fly Posted October 7, 2020 Share #517 Posted October 7, 2020 Yes, I'd agree with your assessment.

Jeff T Posted October 8, 2020 Share #518 Posted October 8, 2020 Going under the railing is definitely a way to do it. On a replica here in San Diego of a galleon ship that sailed in 1542, the mainstay also travels under the railing: An interesting thing is how after the fore part of the mainstay is stropped around a deadeye, the two limbs are first “seized” together, then they separate to go around the foremast as a “loop” rather than sit together to one side of it or the other. Here is how it looks from the forecastle: It still attaches to the beakhead rather than the foremast. But what appears to be the protruding stempost in this replica is to the port side of the bowsprit here, with the bowsprit not “dead center” in the beakhead. What could be done if the bowsprit rested on the stempost? (I am struggling with the idea of eventually using this mainstay “loop” technique on my own galleon (a plastic kit), because the bowsprit does indeed rest on the stempost in that kit, but I think maybe the separation of the mainstay that goes around the foremast can stay separated around the bowsprit and then travel through a tunnel drilled transversely through the protruding stempost beneath the bowsprit, thereby completing the “loop”?)

Louie da fly Posted October 9, 2020 Share #521 Posted October 9, 2020 You learn something new every day - if you're not careful! Looping the forestay around the foremast would mean it avoids transferring any forces to the foremast - which if it's very far forward as in Backer's diagrams, would be a good idea.

Baker Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share #522 Posted October 19, 2020 After finnishing the fore and main mast, i started with the mast top of the mizzen mast. There is a choice with or without a mast top. I chose to build a mast top, but smaller and simpler than the 2 previous ones. A little too much removed from the fore castle So, repair and repainting. The modified version (almost correct) The 3 masts and the bowsprit dry fitted in place (and someone is taking a nap 😴) My loyal assistant, on the lookout in the mast top The wooden parts of the masts are now ready, the masts are now first further finished (bolts and other metalwork). And then think about how and where the deadeyes are attached to the mast tops.

Baker Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share #527 Posted November 29, 2020 Hello, i slowly restarted the Pelican build. So a small update. Made a removable plug for the battery of the LED lights. Not hi tech, but it does what it should do: turn on the LEDs. Some things that may not be completely correct have been adjusted. The stern gallery was also normally used as a combat station. So no sanitary facilities here. The holes are closed. The two holes in the beakhead have been modified, there are now two seats of ease. The black tubing turned out to be a bad idea and was not used.

Baker Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share #536 Posted December 22, 2020 After 4 weeks, ready for an update. Detailing the masts. Much time has been spent on research, thinking and testing. Masts in the 16th century could not be disassembled. Everything was solidly attached to each other. How ?? No useful info found. So i improvise, with the idea: if I make it myself on scale 1/1, how do I attach everything together. How and where to attach the deadeyes to the mast top. There are 3 ways : on top (red) in the middle (blue) bottom (green) The most common in this era is the top. Determine where the deadeyes should come (to avoid mistakes like with my Bounty experiment) The materials used are plastic, wire and copper and metal nails. The deadeyes are the same as those on the channels. Work in progress (fore mast) Details painted and colored (main mast) "Woolings" ? around the mast. Normally this is not necessary because this is not a made mast, but this gives a little more detail to the mast. The first (mizzen) mast fixed on the model Main mast and extra's dry fitted Thanks for following, likes and comments mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, davyboy and 11 others 14 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch große-jacht / Yacht D'Oro 1/50 Corel Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

Jeff T Posted December 22, 2020 Share #537 Posted December 22, 2020 I like the method you use (jig) to make sure that the masts are vertical.

Baker Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share #539 Posted January 2, 2021 Hello, First, i wish everyone a happy and above all healthy 2021. All masts and bowsprit are now mounted (work in progress) Made some useful tools from large needles They came in handy for this job. Next time I rig these blocks before installing the deck. The bowsprit mounting is extra reinforced with a nail Then "camouflaging" this nail so that it is no longer visible Ready Thanks for following,comments and likes.
