Ferit Posted July 30, 2013 #813 Posted July 30, 2013 She looks great Andy, sharp and clean as usual... It's obvious that it had been pretty worked on her... May I ask: What is the material of the pegasus figure and are the ornaments of the headrails kit supplies?

realworkingsailor Posted July 30, 2013 Author #814 Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks everyone! Adam, I'll admit, I was almost blubbering like you when I was getting into the planning stages of all this rigging. But with some good reference books, it can be done. Just be prepared to spend A LOT of time planning your approach to every line. Getting a good understanding of its purpose and fabrication helps. Sjors.... You're not telling me you're going to use my log as a rigging referrence are you? Larry, you won't believe how much help I've gleaned from TFFM IV.... It's a wonderful rigging teutorial, I would not have got this far without it. Although its specific to Swann Class ships or other sixth rates of that period, the ideas and concepts carry through to larger and later vessels. Augie, I figured Pegasus should be white... I went with my own pseudo-neo-classical vision of the mythical flying horse..... I did highlight the muzzle, eyes and hooves with a dry brush hint of black....Although flash photography kind of washes everything out... Andy mtaylor 1 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy
realworkingsailor Posted July 30, 2013 Author #815 Posted July 30, 2013 Ah! Ferit, just missed you... The figurehead is made of urethane resin... I've worked a lot with this material for my other hobby (model railroading). It is quite stable and holds excellent detail. All the fancy work on the headrails etc., is photo etched brass supplied with the kit. Andy Ferit 1 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

gjdale Posted July 31, 2013 #819 Posted July 31, 2013 Very nice Andy - your work always looks very neat (unlike your work space! ). I agree with you re TFFM vol IV - it's a great general reference and has been a big help to me on Victory. It helps me to understand the sometimes more dense writing of Longridge.

realworkingsailor Posted July 31, 2013 Author #821 Posted July 31, 2013 Kevin, it is actually easier without the upper masts on. I can seize an eye into the upper ends of the shrouds and then slip it over the mast head, rather than havin to feed everything around and try to seize in place. Grant...

popeye the sailor Posted July 31, 2013 #824 Posted July 31, 2013 I sometimes wish I had done it this way as well...........trying to feed the shroud lines in between the masts is a bit trying. it also is tempting to rig higher up the mast, which can make it harder to run other rigging on the next mast. well.......I'm just glad to be doing 'some rigging', as I'm sure you are as well Andy. again........wonderful progress your making.......can't wait to see more realworkingsailor and Blueskippy 2 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
