themadchemist Posted April 29, 2013 Share #489 Posted April 29, 2013 AH, I see. I thought the gunports were glued in place. As they have rigged lines I didn't think you could close them, so you open them up against the hull, Very Nice. That would save me rerigging gunports, I know since I'm all thumbs and elbows and half blind I'd be refixing them if they couldnt be moved..

Garward Posted April 29, 2013 Share #491 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Garward, Thank you for your comment. I know that it is not the way as it should be. There are more things that are not accurate on The Mirage. Maybe that's why the the ship is named Le Mirage or Fantom. I'm not going to change the chainplate. If I remove it, I will damage more then I want. And besides, the ropes will then run in front of the canons. The drawings from Corel are terrible. No measurements at all. You have to look very carefully where everything has to go, by looking how it should be done according to that particular picture. My ship is not a museum piece but a hobby! For me, she doesn't have to be historically accurate, because may she didn't even exists. I'll just do it the way I think is right according to the pictures in the plans. And I like it how she looks at the moment. Again, thanks for your comment but I will leave it this way. Hello, Sjors! I apologize for a little overdue answer, there were urgent affairs. Both in any matter, and in shipbuilding, there are fundamental basic principles and rules. That I wrote about the correct arrangement of shroud plate and shroud just belongs to such rules. These rules for the sailing ships (regardless of the name - Le Mirage or Fantom or somehow differently ) are described in many books about construction of the ships and models. How to arrive in such cases - to follow the established rules or to repeat errors of drawings from kits (and these mistakes, as it is known to all modellers, there is a lot of - producers of kits try to do models simpler and in bigger quantity) is a natural right and a choice the modeller, here to him nobody can specify. If you like to build Le Mirage according to drawings of a kit - it is your choice and your solution which nobody proposes you to change.

Sjors Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share #492 Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Garward, Thank you for your reply. I'm glad that your are back and I accept your apology. Let us just leave this behind us and get back to the build. Danny showed me a picture how it should be and yes, it is a big difference with what I have done. The chains on my Mirage are soldered at the end and in there they made a tiny hole to attach the chain to the hull. When I cut the chains shorter, I see no way to attach them to the hull. I wanted to change it but I didn't know how, for me this was the only way. That's why I left it the way it is now. Thanks again for your reply.

I'll take a look when I get home later today. I'm pretty sure my plans are different to yours, maybe an older Corel kit, but they WORKED . Danny Hi Danny, I'm not in panic….( yet ) Still have to do all the shrouds at the lower mast. So take your time to take a look for me. Thanks in advance ( learn a new word ?
