Looking great, Kortes.    I have  a question though... the line that I have circled in red below.  I think that would stop the rudder from turning

 

    Actually Mark, if you look at the first photo in post #186, I think you can see a little better that the line in question is actually behind the rudder and the only connection to the rudder is via the hanging chains.

Dave,  you mean this one?    I don't think there's enough slack in the chains for that.  But I'm probably wrong.IMG_1154.thumb.JPG.900ad36bcb03b50be3ab86783fe0db38.jpg.7fd410a79329e29177de19dd83f8d5f1.jpg

Greetings, Mark. You're right. In fact, in the first version, the chain was longer, but sagging did not look very aesthetic and I removed one link. I would now remake this knot. Chain links needed to be made smaller  - in that case everything would work out. BUT, in my defense, I can say that the length of the chain does not interfere with the turn of the control blade, I have checked that. :)

    Well Kortes, your work is quite a step above what most of us here can produce and it can make a lot of us feel somewhat inadequate.  On the other hand, work such as yours can only inspire us to try to do better. 

    I feel you about your desire to remake portions of your project that you are unhappy with as I find myself doing the same thing with my Phantom.  I have remade some of the ships deck houses several times, until I was happy with the results.  While there exists the popular notion with some people to “just get er done” as they say, I don’t subscribe to that school of thought at all.  As I often said at work, “Why does it seem that there is never enough time to get it done right, but always time to do it over?”

 

Thank you, dear Dave for such a high evaluation of my work. I was also studying on the works of such outstandings Masters Dmitriy Shevelev, Mihail Bezverhiy, Sergey Bykov, Igor Kapinos, Aleksey Baranov and many others, whose  level of mastery is unattainable for me. But the attempt to reach even for a little their level of mastery gives the possibility to grow. You are right - if one has the feeling of dissatisfaction, then one has to try to remake the knot or the work, in some cases I had more than three of such attempts.

My best regards, Alexander.

Oh my....what wonderful workmanship....

Be it rope or wood work...you have superbly mastered the art of model ship building.

 

I'm working in a much smaller scale...(1/128) and if I could pull off such attention to detail....it would be a miracle.

 

Love your work.

 

Rob

Greetings, Rob
Thank you so much. I have always had a profound respect for the modelists who work in a small scale. I think its a very special category of people. You are right, such a detailing is really on the verge of comrehension. It requires special vision, skills and instruments.
My best regards.

I apologize to the moderators, but I will ask a question in Russian: как долго сможет сидеть матрос на этой банке в этой шлюпке? Even the American understood... I ask a serious question, I had to work the oars for a long time, sometimes calluses appeared on the ***!

I really really like that the ship's boat is mounted on top of a hatch.

The only time that hatch is going to be open is when stores are going in.  Stores which are being ferried across by the boat.  So there's no time when you'll want to open the hatch without already having the boat in the water, out of the way.

Very clever use of deck space.

‘I looked into a book on trigonometry once,’ said Martin. ‘It was called A Simple Way of Resolving All Triangles, invaluable for Gentlemen, Surveyors, and Mariners, carefully adapted for the Meanest Understanding: but I had to give it up. Some understandings are even meaner than the author imagined, it appears.’

 Вопрос Ваш я понял.

Мне непонятны два момента.

Первый, - о какой шлюпке вы говорите?

Второй, -почему вопрос поднят в разделе такелажа а не ранее ?

И наконец, если речь идет о шлюпке « Гиацинта» :

 I think the time that would be necessary. And if we are talking about the saving of a life, in this case even longer. As we are talking about a navy sailor, who is not a VIP person to travel with the greatest comfort possible. I'm sure you agree with that.

My best regards.

I have made parrels.

 

I have made the parrel - trusses by myself.
If anyone would find it interesting.
During the working process I have tried several modes of making parrel trucks. Taking into consideration the size of the elements I found that the following mode was the best. I have grinded out a template, in my case D = 2,3 and 2,1 mm , I cut it in required sizes. Then I have drilled the holes (I haven't spent much time on the hands free tool, made it out of the things I had on hand, the mode is the same as when I drilled the holes in dead-eyes).

Steady hands and sharp eyes.   Beautifully done.

With a little practice the elements are practically of the same size

I think you must practice a lot. They look perfect to me.

Sails.

No matter how much you study the experience of the Masters, you still make your own mistakes.

I tried to dye the fabric in a folk way, in the broth of onion peel. I liked the color, but  problems began later, when gluing. Thre was an unexpected reaction of the colored fabric and the glue MOMENT Carpenter. So the first set of fabric went to the bin.:(

My greetings, dear colleagues,

My work on the sails is coming to an end. After a series of trial and error I got almost two sets of sails. I present the final version. Material - cambric, painted with artistic oil paint diluted in white spirit.

For the moment all that is left is to make a reef-band.
