Working on the topsail. I have attached the sail to the yard and added al the ropesIMG_20200113_225801.thumb.jpg.0b6bc7fd1e8dee23eab4dec980db10b7.jpg

Next I put the assembly on the ship and run the ropes through all the blocks

Next step woul be set the yards to correct position and fix the running rigging on the deck

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.

@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.

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.

1200px-Flag_of_the_Russian-American_Company_svg.png.31c913c9beb521e0097f0aebb63ed948.png

 

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!!!!

"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.

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

1843461246_Russian-American_Company_flag_design_authorized_by_Aleksandr_I_1806.thumb.jpg.fe2dd06e4ac16492c1a90caa7d5d09a0.jpg

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.

@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!

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

Thanks Eugen, that is exactly what I was trying to find out! 👍

Anchors tied up and finished (almost). I still thinking of adding boyos but first I want to finish the kit and this detail can be easily add later.

Thanks Dirk! 

 

The rest list is one item shorter. Pumps installed on the deck. The pumps in kit are made from some strange wood. I used the scrap wood from the kit and carved the pipes from pear.

It has been a while since last post. I finaly spare some time and get back to AVOS! Only few details need to be added. One of them was fastening of yawl. The equipment (oars, yards etc.) is not finished yet. Will play with that later.

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.

 

 

Cheers,
 
Jason

Thanks a lot for your comments and likes! 

I will remove the flag pole. It is there Just temporarily, not glued. 

 

My First attempts with rope coils. I need to play a bit with the size and shape but I think this could work..... What do you think?

@yvesvidal, thank you. I really appreciate it!

 

It is first time I'm doing this (I made a few hulls but never got to this stage). Coils will take some time but it is worth sending time and make it! Anyway I really like how it is turning out. 

 

Starting equip bow section.....

Fellow Czech modeler print out few new flags for me so I can test the shapes and positions. I did not like the fabric supplied in the kit. It was very dificult to work (perhaps I just did it wrong). Anyway here is my first test.
