augie Posted April 9, 2013 Share #301 Posted April 9, 2013 Yes, all questions answered. Funny though, I went to the zoo just the other day..... wild animal sanctuary actually. Great minds think alike. OK, you go work on gunports. Do any of them have canons behind them or is Le Mirage just a paper tiger?

Sjors Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #302 Posted April 9, 2013 Augie, At the moment i'm typing on the I-pad of Anja, so no smileys.... The lids are above the canons. It's not a paper ship! But a lot of work....so still no rigging.

Adrieke Posted April 10, 2013 Share #303 Posted April 10, 2013 you know Sjors if you had started the rigging and you get too frustrated you can go back to those things you havent done yet . that would give you a bit of variety. now you have to do it all together. i havent done any real rigging but i think id actualy enjoy it. just tying knots and not having to think soulds goot to me. a while back when painting the canons for the uss connie . i was at for 4 hours straight wihtout realising Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadchemist Posted April 10, 2013 Share #304 Posted April 10, 2013 Wow, how'd I get so far behind on this one log again. Nice job on the masts and even better job putting off shrouds and ratlines That bowsprit, when mounted by itself looked like a hook waiting to catch a sleeve. The sooner the shrouds are up the more stable she will be ... just keep repeating that, maybe that'll help. Looking good, can't wait to see her with standing rigging, she's gonna look Awesome.

Sjors Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share #305 Posted April 10, 2013 Hi Adrieke and Keith, @ Adrieke, I have still the San Ildefonso when I have enough of tying knots…... These are not the first ratlines that I make so I like it a little bit @ Keith, Thanks, I think you have to visit from time to time to see what's happened. I know for sure ( but I hope not) that is goes wrong once with the bowsprit. Even when the rigging is done it could happened. That's part of building. But I'll do my best to avoid that!

Avoiding rigging......not sure you answered it but that's okay, I'll just wait for the pictures! Cheers, Jim By the way, we are about to apply for the permits so we can start the remodeling.

Sjors Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share #311 Posted April 11, 2013 Then a little PS from me…... Because I have to work for a living and not have the free time as just some other builders here on the forum, my time is little to work on the Mirage. I also have a wife that needs attention ( now and then ) Then I also have to arrange things for a guy who named Mobbsie. And of course, I have to read and answer things on a forum that called MSW! When I'm doing this, I'm not at the shipyard. I wish you all a pleasant building time and let those pictures coming!

Sjors Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share #326 Posted April 13, 2013 Hi Augie, It's the only way I can get them this way. I have to see how it works when I put the shrouds on.

augie Posted April 13, 2013 Share #327 Posted April 13, 2013 Don't worry about it. Ships of later eras did not put guns over the channels because they figured out this damaged the shrouds.

themadchemist Posted April 13, 2013 Share #328 Posted April 13, 2013 Yea a picture Ive always wondered why they placed guns amongest shrouds, guess they slowly learn what to do and not to do with time. On some ships the lower deck is mixed in close to the chain's also. I guess the logic was more guns, forget the rigging. Wonder if any ship ever took its own rigging out?

Sjors Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share #330 Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks Augie,Keith and Jim, @ Augie, Thanks, I feel a lot better I thought I was making a mistake. But when I look at other builds, a lot have those things that the shrouds are close by the canons. @ Keith, I was asking that question myself. Those canons are not in business right now, a kind of dummy canons @ Jim, Now you know why she has cotton canon balls……. I think that the builders are not concerned about weight but just ….how many canons can I put on a ship before she sinks……..
