archjofo Posted January 4, 2020 Share #872 Posted January 4, 2020 Hello Doris, since it is a pair of tackles, each behind the foremast and probably the main mast, I suspect that these are topsail halyards. In addition, a section from the book by Mondfeld page 310, No. 7. Source: Historic Ship Models, Wolfram zu Mondfeld, Sterling As already mentioned, this is only a guess on my part. I am not an expert in 17th century ship rigging. I hope that a specialist can provide you with more information. mtaylor, BETAQDAVE, GrandpaPhil and 5 others 8 Quote Best regards Johann Video: La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette of 1827 - naval artillery La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette - Construction of long boat La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette - Construction of the masts La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette - 2019 La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette - standing rigging - part 1 La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette - standing rigging - part 2 La Créole - Scale 1/48, French corvette - standing rigging - part 3 See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted January 4, 2020 Share #873 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Hello Doris, These are the tackles for the Top Ropes which were used to lower the Topmasts. They were hooked to the top rope pendants which ran through sheaves in the heel of the Topmast. These pendants started from an eyebolt in the Lower Mast cap running through one of these sheaves up to a block on the opposite side of the cap then down to the tackles. There is a very good illustration of this in Lee's Masting and Rigging book (page 55). Also in R.C. Andersons 17th Century Rigging,drawing #13 items 166,167 and 168. Hope this helps with your wonderful model build. Dave Edited January 4, 2020 by davyboy EJ_L, druxey, DORIS and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DORIS Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #874 Posted January 19, 2020 Thank you for your advice, dear friends, I greatly appreciate your help. Johann: Oh yes, I also have this picture available and it will certainly help me to make halyards. Dave: That's exactly the thing I was looking for. In the books there is a good description, but the pictures are not complete - that confused me a little, but this is a right solution I will make on my model. I am continuing with the demi-culverin cannons for the upper deck. They will be created will all details. We also had to reinforce the shelf supports on which the model will be displayed. It already weighs more than 8 kg. James H, gjdale, Jeronimo and 34 others 37 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted January 19, 2020 Share #875 Posted January 19, 2020 You would not want that crashing down! Your paper cannon are quite remarkable, Doris. I agree that those lines are halyards, not for hoisting boats. There were tackles from the lower yard arms and on the main stay for handling ship's boats. davyboy, EJ_L, DORIS and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DORIS Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share #877 Posted January 25, 2020 Thank you for your praise and all the "likes", dear friends. I am happy you enjoy the pics and the progress. Paper brings a huge range of options; it is possible to create almost everything using only ordinary modeling tools and it costs next to nothing (except spent work and time of course...). With every other model I can find a new and better application of this material. Of course, I prefer to make ornaments and scupltures from Modurit (this is my favourite modeling clay available in Czech Republic) and there is still opportunity to improve details and realism. Now I have made tiny reliefs for cannons, 8 of them will come for smaller cannons - sakers on the quarterdeck - these cannons will be made later. At the same time, I created other ornaments and placed them on the hull. I use mainly photos of museum models for inspiration.

michael mott Posted January 26, 2020 Share #882 Posted January 26, 2020 Doris, it is such a pleasure to see the wonderful sculptural elements that you make that adorn the ships that you build. Having watched your videos about how you work with the modeling clay, and realizing that your comment about easy to do with every day tools is a result of years of practice, a keen eye, and an artistic talent that is rare. Thank you for continually sharing your work with us.

Jean-Pierre Posted January 26, 2020 Share #883 Posted January 26, 2020 Doris, your sculpting talent is so impressive that you could help some manufacturers with sculptures (or their moulds) for their ship offerings. I am thinking for instance at Kolderstock Models from Holland, who provide some excellent and well known models of Dutch ships from the 17th century, but which are a little let down by their sculptures. Once again, their kits are great, but with the "Doris touch" they would be real wonders. OK, just an idea...

DORIS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share #886 Posted March 22, 2020 Hello dear friends, I am very grateful for your support and kind words, thank you all very much. And thank also for all your "likes". I appreciate them a lot. Well, sculpting is my favourite hobby as well, I love creating beautiful things and bringing pleasure to other people who can watch my work. I am not sure if I would enjoy making sculptures for manufacturers and see how they make coppies..... The uniqueness of the original is very valuable to me. Few days ago I finished remaining ordnance for the Royal Catherine. The barrels are made of card, but for carriages I used wood - it was much less laborious than paper and I saved a lot of time. The cannons are still without rigging and tackles, will be added later. So, have a great time and enjoy the pics from progress.....

DORIS Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share #888 Posted March 22, 2020 Eight remaining guns for quarterdeck - "sakers": I made two kinds of wooden carriages based on Endsor's book - the Restoration warship HMS Lenox. I suppose these kinds of carriages were also used on the Royal Katherine - the ship from almost the same period. davyboy, albert, paulsutcliffe and 22 others 25 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
