chborgm Posted February 8, 2020 #32 Posted February 8, 2020 I just received the model yesterday, and am getting ready to start. Your work looks great. I only hope that I can do half the job. A few post back you mentioned that you gathered additional info on the ship. If you still have it and could make it available pls "PM" me. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Flying Fish -- MSW Essex --- MSW Constitution -- MSW Confederacy -- MSW Philadelphia -- MSW Chaperon -- MSW San Felipe -- Panart Portland -- Bluejacket
Terry_Perth Posted March 7, 2020 #33 Posted March 7, 2020 Allan, I have received the 550 Danmark in exactly the same condition. My problem is i don't have the instructions I have the drawings but not the manual. I have downloaded the new model version from Billing Boats but there are some obvious differences. Do you have a copy of the instructions that you could scan for me? Your photographs are also a great help. If you don't have the instructions I would love to see more of the pictures. popeye the sailor 1 Quote
alpayed Posted May 1, 2020 Author #34 Posted May 1, 2020 Hi guys. I have been a bit quiet on this dealing with some health issues. (all good now). Here is a rigging schedule and belaying diagram for Danmark. All the numbers correspond to the Billings ones. Some of the rigging is NQR on the original plans. I will post doctored drawings of the errors soon. AllanDanmark Belaying Plan.pdf Danmark_rigging.xlsx popeye the sailor and coxswain 2 Quote Models finished: Too many to list. Current build.

petervisser Posted May 1, 2020 #35 Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks for the spreadsheet Allan. When it becomes the Danmark's turn to appear on my bench, your rigging plan will come to good use!

alpayed Posted September 30, 2020 Author #36 Posted September 30, 2020 Hi everyone. Not much model making ATM. Got over some health issues and then fell off the roof, broke my arm and fractured my back in 7 places. So it's left hand computer work for a while. This is what I have been doing. A set of rigging plans for Danmark. I got distracted into HMS Investigator. It is a drawing from first principles as very little is known about her dimensionally. Some other reconstructions are around but I have some short comings about them. popeye the sailor and coxswain 2 Quote Models finished: Too many to list. Current build. Danmark (kit bash)
Dsmith20639 Posted September 30, 2020 #37 Posted September 30, 2020 I have an older version of the Billings Danmark Kit (circa 1975) which I am currently building. My sail plans show the various lines only as numbers. Yours appear to name the various lines but the resolution is not good enough to read. Would it be possible to load higher resolution copies of the plans you recently posted? I think the names of the lines might be more helpful in my efforts than just the numbers shown on my plans. My work does not compare to yours, but everyone has got to start somewhere and the parts and instruction from the 1975 kit leave a lot to be desired. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Current build: Armed Virginia Sloop Previous Builds: , Amati Fifie, Glad Tidings,Bluenose II, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack, Fair American, Danmark, Constitution Cross Section, Bluenose
BANYAN Posted October 1, 2020 #38 Posted October 1, 2020 Very nice work Al, sorry to hear of your tribulations and hope you recover fully soon. cheers Pat popeye the sailor 1 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)

petervisser Posted November 5, 2020 #41 Posted November 5, 2020 Hi Al, Hope the recovery is pretty much over and you're able to put both wings back to work. Your rigging plans of the Danmark are fantastic. Should you decide to sell copies, I for one would be happy to purchase a set. Ideally a set at 1:75 would allow me to get my head (and eyes) around the complexity of the ship's rig.

alpayed Posted November 11, 2020 Author #42 Posted November 11, 2020 Hi Guys. A couple of pics (before my attempts at defying gravity) Much better now. I will be starting the rigging soon.

BANYAN Posted November 11, 2020 #43 Posted November 11, 2020 Nice work Al, those boats look great - the clinker work is excellent. Are these done pre or during you arm issues? cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)

Just about finished the deck details, now working on the masting and rigging. Allan Not sure how this works , but i have a Danmark skoleskibet, it's quite old , bought it for my husband but he passed before he could build it, i have been dragging this around with me for the last 35 years at least and looking to find info on where to sell this, I have the sails, and brass fittings as well, it has been stored in an old steamer trunk. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. Quote
