Barbara Posted September 21, 2019 #1 Posted September 21, 2019 Can anyone help with rigging the sheet on model shipway constitution without sails. Regards Quote
Gregory Posted September 21, 2019 #2 Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) That is a pretty complicated question, since the sheet would be different depending on which yard it was on. Is the sheet your only problem? On the courses; main and fore, the sheet would reave through a block that was one of a three block configuration, as seen here on the plans for the MS Rattlesnake. I'm thinking it would be similar on the Constitution. As you can see, without a rigging plan, it probably wouldn't be practical to try to talk you through all the sheets on the Constitution. I noticed you asked another question about the MS Constitution rigging.. Are you having to work without a rigging plan?

We see many examples where the modeler and the kit plans want to show all the tackle and lines that would not be present in the absence of sails.. But then again, the list is long, of those conventions that modelers follow that have little basis in reality, but might be pleasing aesthetically, depending on one's taste.. I'm still trying to wrap my head around trying to rig the Constitution without a rigging plan.. mtaylor and JerseyCity Frankie 2 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon

Gregory Posted September 22, 2019 #5 Posted September 22, 2019 Is that plan in the public domain? mtaylor 1 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon
