Peta_V Posted January 15, 2020 Author #273 Posted January 15, 2020 I was cleaning up the deck and securing the position of the spreadsail yard. I thought it would be Quick and easy task but I had hard times to secure the correct position of the yard. Also attaching ropes to the belaying pins is pretty difficult as the deck is quite full.

Peta_V Posted January 18, 2020 Author #277 Posted January 18, 2020 @greenstone it is not finished yet. I did not put the pumps and chimney as I did not want to demage it during rigging. There are still some items to finish but it is not a lot. greenstone 1 Quote Current builds: Tender AVOS - Master Korabel HMS Royal Caroline - Panart HMS Triton - Cross section Completed: HMS Victory - Revell HMS Bounty - Revell

Peta_V Posted January 20, 2020 Author #279 Posted January 20, 2020 Hi guys, perhaps someone could help me. I'm thinking about the flags for AVOS. There is only one flag of the Russian-American Company in the kit. but there are more places for the flags on the ship. On the top mast, on the gaff and there is also a flagstaff at the stern. I wonder if I can attach more flags? Would it be OK or completely wrong to put there for example russian naval flag like it is for example on Phoenix? thanks for the advice!!!!

greenstone Posted January 21, 2020 #280 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) "Novo Arkangelsk (New Archangel)" Drawn by the Creole Aleksandr Olgin in July, 1837 As you can see on the ships of the Russian-American company had its own flag. Yes, this picture was painted in 1837, when the Avos tender was long gone. Despite this, the artist drew our tender. So at least it is considered. 😎 Yes, there are many questions to this watercolor... This is not a drawing. This is an image only. But we liked it and we decided to place the company flag as shown in this figure And we have provided three options for the modeler. Peta has already said this. The modeller has the right to choose where to place the flag. . Edited January 21, 2020 by greenstone DmitriyMarkov, Galley Slave, Peta_V and 2 others 5 Quote
greenstone Posted January 21, 2020 #281 Posted January 21, 2020 Emperor Alexander 1 officially approved the flag of the RA company on September 28 (October 10), 1806. Here is a copy of the order with a sample flag from 1806 As we know, the tender "Avos" was built before, in the summer of that year. It is possible that at first time (several months or half a year) the tender was flagged Russian Navy flag But most tine the tender "Avos" had the flag of the RAC The flag of the Russian-American company (RAC) is part of the great common history of Russia and the United States, a unique history of the development of Alaska!!! It was a period of discovering new lands, conquering new horizons, and a time of great friendship between Russia and the United States. That's why we decided to put this flag in the box.

Peta_V Posted January 21, 2020 Author #282 Posted January 21, 2020 @greenstone thanks a lot for the info. I was not questioning the RAC flag. I will defenitely use it on AVOS. My question was more if it can/should be acompanied by another flag or pennant perhaps. As there are more places for the flag I was thinking (just an example now....put RAC flag on the stern flagstaff and on the topmast some pennant). But I do not want to do any non-sense combination that is why I was asking. If there should be only RAC flag I use only this one. Thank you!

greenstone Posted January 21, 2020 #284 Posted January 21, 2020 No pennant on the topmast. Tender "Avos" was the second ship in the squad (three-masted ship "Juno" and tender "Avos"). She was not supposed to pennant. Only the three-masted ship "Juno" could carry the pennant as the leader in the squad of ships There were signal flags on any ship. Can add them Dubz, DmitriyMarkov and Peta_V 3 Quote

greenstone Posted February 18, 2020 #291 Posted February 18, 2020 Looks great, but the flagpole is an extra detail on the model if the sails are shown Quote
Beef Wellington Posted February 18, 2020 #292 Posted February 18, 2020 Looks very nice Peta, well done. I think Greenstone meant to say that the flagpole (or staff) would only be used if sails are NOT rigged. The staff would interfere with the workings of the sail.
