Hubac's Historian Posted June 4, 2023 Share #525 Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Every time I visit this build, I am astounded at your skill and your sensitivity to form. As incredible as the woodwork is, the rigging is even more impressive. Every part of this is aspirational. This is just such a magnificent all-around effort!

dvm27 Posted June 4, 2023 Share #527 Posted June 4, 2023 By my calculations you have rigged your magnificent model in less than a year. The speed and accuracy with which you work is inspiring (and intimidating)! Do you spend a full day in the workshop or is this just part time for you? mtaylor, KentM, robert952 and 3 others 6 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share #531 Posted June 9, 2023 Thank you guys for nice comments and all likes. To Strelok - my next project will be L´Amarante according to plan G. Delacroix. To dvm27 - The only advantage of my age (really the only one) is that I am now retired and therefore have plenty of time to build the model. But this does not mean that it is a full-time job - it is usually 3-4 hours a day. Preparation of anchors for hanging - buoy, fish strops. mtaylor, Hubac's Historian, Hsae and 22 others 18 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glbarlow Posted June 10, 2023 Share #533 Posted June 10, 2023 Masterful just under sells how good this is. Enjoyable just seeing the photos, the detailed knots and rigging show elements I didn’t know existed having done much inferior rigging that until now I thought was pretty good. mtaylor, CiscoH, robert952 and 1 other 4 Quote Regards, Glenn Current Build: Don't know yet.

Kevin-the-lubber Posted June 14, 2023 Share #534 Posted June 14, 2023 Marsalv, I've picked up a signpost to this build and it's fantastic. I haven't yet read through from the beginning but you are making me very keen to purchase a CNC mill & lathe. That said, it's one thing to get the machine to cut the parts, quite another to bring them all together into such a gorgeous model. One question (which may be answered if I read the whole log) - have you got all of the critical design information from the monograph? I've never even seen a monograph but it sounds like something I'd like. robert952 and mtaylor 2 Quote Kevin https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ktl_model_shop Current projects: HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller / Scratch, kind of active, depending on the alignment of the planets) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23247-hms-victory-by-kevin-the-lubber-heller-1100-plastic-with-3d-printed-additions/ Cutty Sark 1:96 (More scratch than Revell, parked for now) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/30964-cutty-sark-by-kevin-the-lubber-revell-196 Soleil Royal 1:100 (Heller..... and probably some bashing.

marsalv Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share #535 Posted June 18, 2023 To Kevin-the-lubber - The materials in the monograph are well prepared and provide all the important information for building the model. However, if any information is missing or there is any ambiguity, Gerard Delacroix (the author of the monograph) will be very willing and quick to answer the relevant questions. So the anchors are placed in their places, so to complete the model, all that remains is to make two boats.

druxey Posted July 3, 2023 Share #540 Posted July 3, 2023 Very nice, but I'd be concerned about the short grain on the futtocks, the way you have them oriented on the sheet. Placed on the diagonal would be better. mtaylor and robert952 2 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...
