kpnuts Posted April 2, 2020 Author #64 Posted April 2, 2020 I am totally confused with building the yards on this I dont know which bits to use the instructions are pretty much useless assuming you know what bits are what. I've tried googling for detail of them and all the pics that come up are either too blurred to see or are from behind the mast help please anyone got a picture of the built yard on this kit. Quote
samson Posted April 2, 2020 #65 Posted April 2, 2020 hey i have a copy - but with sails and drawstrings it is not to take good enlightening pictures - with less you know what details you want to see. but you have the mast and yards drawings with the reference number right? as i remember it is the leash lead afterwards that is totally fuckt in AL. guidance. there I had to use the help of Billing boat drawings and found on the web drawings for Rewal plastic model which were really the best to understand I would like to take a few pictures of details if you clearly tell me what to see.

kpnuts Posted April 5, 2020 Author #70 Posted April 5, 2020 Hi all finished the first yard. And before I get comments about the order I'm building this in I know it's not per instructions but hey they are pretty useless anyway. I've added the first real sail. I know it will get in the way of a lot of the rigging but I intend to tie it up out of the way temporarily. I know the lines from the base of the sail which go toward the stern will get in the way but I will leave them till last. Apart from the instructions i really like this kit (yes I know it's not an accurate depiction of the Cutty Sark) It will still be a lovely model of a clipper ship anyway. popeye the sailor, GrandpaPhil, hof00 and 2 others 5 Quote

kpnuts Posted April 11, 2020 Author #73 Posted April 11, 2020 Hi all bit more done got the coppering room done (changed the top door as using the kit one and adding the embellishments made the door ridiculously thick) and the central ward room also more rigging on the sail (probably doesn't even notice) but it's there You cant really tell but some swearing was involved in the practically invisible rigging you cant even see on the sails. petervisser, popeye the sailor, samson and 2 others 5 Quote
kpnuts Posted April 13, 2020 Author #74 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Made one of the ships launches and added some upper shrouds. Edited April 13, 2020 by kpnuts GrandpaPhil, samson, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote

rwiederrich Posted March 22, 2022 #80 Posted March 22, 2022 Good job...but you might want to turn the wheel round about....it's facing the wrong direction. Wheel forward...mechanism house aft.

kpnuts Posted March 27, 2022 Author #81 Posted March 27, 2022 OK so I've done work on the ships boats. And she has her name on the stern too. Added the top rail. hof00 and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote
rwiederrich Posted March 29, 2022 #82 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Coming along nicely...... But a few minor issues....If I may.... The scroll work on the fantail is actually between the planksheer and the rail..NOT below where you have placed it. It goes between those trim pieces..the light one and the darker one...right along the back edge of the transom. I see you corrected the wheel that I pointed out earlier. One other slight oversight....you can support the stay sails so they are not hanging free, but adding the *Hanks*. small ringlets that allow the sail to slide up and down the stay that it is bent to. You do not have them...so the sail is stretched tightly to keep it from sagging. Over time sag will increase due to gravity and age. Hanks will prevent this. Other then these minor details you are making a nice model for your enjoyment and collection.

kpnuts Posted April 2, 2022 Author #83 Posted April 2, 2022 Thanks Rob I take it the stays are the triangular sails on the standing rigging. Quote
