Peta_V Posted November 23, 2019 Author #241 Posted November 23, 2019 Cleaning up continue........ Today I could put some serious time for the AVOS and I managed to finish: Shrouds, jackstay and fore stay. As a next step I could tie everything up and clean the deck from the ends of ropes. (coils will be added later). I have also managed to take few pictures of details and whole model.

Peta_V Posted November 27, 2019 Author #243 Posted November 27, 2019 All the rigging of the main sail is in place so I could tighten it and clean the deck from the rope ends. And move to the next stage. I have attached all necessary ropes and blocks to the spreadsail yard And attached it to the jackstay It brings some volume to the ship! But first I will have to do all the rigging around centerline (mast and stays) as all the yards rigging is making access very dificult.

Peta_V Posted November 29, 2019 Author #244 Posted November 29, 2019 Adding some more tackles, hooks and blocks. And works on the sails. I have removed the boltrope and did some ironing. Now its time to attach the boltrope back using my own rope. After 2 and half hour with a needel........ I have the smallest one ready 💣 Mirabell61, Dutchman, lmagna and 16 others 19 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 November 29, 2019 Author #246 Posted November 29, 2019 @Mirabell61thanks a lot Nils! Although I have studied the rigging plans of this kit for a long time, it still suprises me how detailed it is! And in 1/72 scale! So fore sail is prepared, I have attached all the ropes and blocks...... And start testing on the ship Foresail halyard Foresail sheet attached to the horse Foresail downhaul and tack There is really everything! ccoyle, yvesvidal, Edwardkenway and 18 others 21 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 December 9, 2019 Author #247 Posted December 9, 2019 I have reached the stage that I do not like so there is not much to show. Before I can fix the position of the spreadsail yard I need to prepare 2 things. 1. I need to do the top half of ratlines until I still can lower the yard. It will be lot more complicated with the yard fixed in position. (I hate doing ratlines!) 2. I need to prepare topsail so I could secure all the rigging in the center of the deck by the mast (it would be also very dificult to get there once lower ratlines and "outside running rigging" is in place). And I'm also not a fan of this task So the progress is very slow now. I have installed lower and upper Sheer battens and prepared few ratlines, that is all for now. coxswain, greenstone, lmagna and 20 others 23 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 December 10, 2019 Author #249 Posted December 10, 2019 @yvesvidal thanks a lot Yves. I really appreciate your encouragement! And thanks also for all the likes guys! Ratlines will go slowly but I finish them. There are only few! Unfortunately I found bigger issue. The topsail is sawn pretty asymetricaly. Here it is in Comparision with the template. And here is the diference once you put it on the topsail yard. As you can see it is quite huge and will do the mess on the spreadsail yard so I can't use it. I was thinking of doing my own sail but it will look different from others. I guess I will try to contact MK. SO NOW I HAVE TIME FOR RATLINES!

Katoom Posted December 10, 2019 #250 Posted December 10, 2019 Did you try matching up the sail to the plans at the clews and foot rather than the head? You might be able to get away with just reworking the head of this particular sail. Just a thought from the peanut gallery...... Good luck! lmagna 1 Quote Kevin My Introduction
Peta_V Posted December 11, 2019 Author #251 Posted December 11, 2019 @Katoom, thanks for the idea but unfortunately it won't work niether. All the angles are wrong and if I do that the stitches will not come straight up but even more to the side! I already got answer from Master Korabel and they are sending new sail my way! Very profesional! 🎩👏 And big thank goes to @greenstone to arrange that! I'm So happy 🍻🍻👏 ccoyle, Tom E, DmitriyMarkov and 4 others 7 Quote Current builds: Tender AVOS - Master Korabel HMS Royal Caroline - Panart HMS Triton - Cross section Completed: HMS Victory - Revell HMS Bounty - Revell

stuglo Posted December 12, 2019 #255 Posted December 12, 2019 This is yet another beautiful build of an unusual kit. I feel that I almost must stop looking at these blogs because my wish list is extending beyond my life expectancy. They are however addictive and things of wonder. I must learn to balance my reading with actual building . I'm already restricted by the bosun from using power tools in the middle of the night, and now she objects to the commuter screen in the early hours.

Peta_V Posted December 18, 2019 Author #259 Posted December 18, 2019 Thanks a lot! Only small progress. I have added tackle of jib halyard and jib downhaul. I thought I make it more interesting and Mark the running of the rope in the photo. Let me know if you find it interesting, I could do other ropes too. It is getting pretty crowded around the mast (I like that) Jib halyard = blue It goes from the eye on the deck next to the mast up to the mast head through 3 blocks back down to the bitt on the deck. There is the tackle coming from the eye on the deck. Jib downhaul = Red Goes from top of the stem through the block on the Block attached to the jib halyard to the the deck. coxswain, GrandpaPhil, american and 15 others 18 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 December 22, 2019 Author #264 Posted December 22, 2019 @Dutchman first of all thaks a lot! Second, for me this was not an option anymore! I have/had a picture before my eyes how it should look like and it is with spread sails. I will be adding ti it the finish that it is full wind. And furl the top sail will not work. Building this kit was so much fun so far and the treat what MK gave me was exceptional!
