wayne mcmullin Posted February 5, 2020 #1 Posted February 5, 2020 I am looking to add masts and rigging to model shipways Essex, not available from manufacturer. I have seen some done with this, where can you find mast and rigging details
NWSailor Posted February 5, 2020 #2 Posted February 5, 2020 Hello Wayne, would recommend the book Anatomy of the Ship by Portia Takakjian as a quick reference. The book has data on Essex's mast/spar sizes as well as rigging layouts and associated details. wayne mcmullin and mtaylor 2 Bill
chuckd Posted February 12, 2020 #4 Posted February 12, 2020 I am scratch building the essex currently another good reference is rigging period ship models by lennarth peterson. Portias book has good dimensions of masts etc.peterson s has good generic rigging. mtaylor 1
michaelpsutton2 Posted February 12, 2020 #5 Posted February 12, 2020 Use the spar dimensions from The Essex Papers" by Phililp Chadwick Foster Smith augmented by both Steels "Elements of Mastmaking Sailmaking & Rigging" and Masting & Rigging" by James Lee for details. mtaylor and Roger Pellett 2 Drown you may, but go you must and your reward shall be a man's pay or a hero's grave
