beautiful planking and treenailing job,

a great looking model

Thanks Nils but the treenails are not my job. It is pre-cut by laser from manufacturer 👍

Bowsprit is now secured in place so I was able to do some testing rigging. I decided to make my own ropes. I rig the jib tack and jib tack guy. I have to say that I'm happy how that turned out. 

I have also experimented little bit with the pictures and the setup of taking the picture. So hopefuly There are more details visible. Still it is camera from my mobile phone so no miracles there.

I have received threads for AVOS. Gutermann MARA 220 fo thinner ropes. Those are thread for industrial use so this is the smallest spool you can get 5000m. So it is my lifetime supply :D but I will use quite lot also for finishing Royal Caroline. So now is time to figure out the gun rigging....... :P

Second attempt with bobstay turned out much better.

The rudder tillers from thin ropes look also much better!

Very nice build Peta,

 

I love those natural warm wooden tones, and in contrast the black color giving in the shown places.

Testing time....... I have created test battle station to work on the artillery rigging. I have chosen this picture as a reference and will do the tackles like this. 

a-part-of-the-hermione-frigate-deck-with-one-cannon-of-6-on-its-carriage-E9TWNN.jpg.e088135c9c93946d63c509a1082efdf5.jpg

This is my interpretation in the scale. The breeching rope is easy. For tackles I use 2x 2mm single blocks with hook strap. The brass eyelets will be replaced by nicer ones on the ship. I run the rope several times through the eyes for tackle hooks and secure in the middle of the tackle. This partialy hides the blocks which is good and I think this is not very common on the models. I like it lot. What do you think?

Second anchor + anchor tackles.

It still needs some final touches but first I need decide few things.

Running the anchor cable through windlass... I'm convinced I have it right (same as in plans) as windlass wind the anchor up rotating anti-clockwise and pawl in the bell bitt securing the spinning other way. But when "sinking" anchor is the cable still Running through windlass and spin with it? Were both anchors operated in one go? It does not make much sense to me how it is in plans. In this setup I do not see the way how to detach cable from windlass. PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks a lot guys, also for all the likes! Much appreciated. If I could make one person interested in ship modeling through my build I'd be more than happy! Having so many followers and reactions is really great motivation. Never thought I could cought so many people by building something what many now days people think didn't exists. Happy to be here in MSW! THANKS

All guns in place with breeching ropes secured for sail. I think it looks interesting and different. Gun tackles will follow.

That breeching rope looks realistic, and ready for the captains inspection...

 

It's nice to see some variation from the usual arrangement ..
