This is my 2nd build of a ship. 1st plastic build. I saw this in a outlet store and thought it would be helpful learning rigging a mult mast ship. My first ship I did during the initial lockdown last april may before I knew about this website. Lots of helpful people and resources. Bill Morrison and Rach10199 2 Quote Moltinmark
Moltinmark Posted January 9, 2021 Author #32 Posted January 9, 2021 Dry fit of the sails. Realized its going to get tight getting back on deck for details before the last bit of rigging. Started Added sailors ect deck details. This picture caught my eye ! GuntherMT, Rach10199, docidle and 2 others 5 Quote Moltinmark
Moltinmark Posted January 9, 2021 Author #33 Posted January 9, 2021 Dri-Fit of the sales. as I was doing that I realized it's going to get very tight on the deck to add rope coils and sailors and the like so I started adding all the sailors. I have them unfurling the Mainsail and getting ready ready to deploy the four main sales Bill Morrison, Rach10199, GuntherMT and 1 other 4 Quote Moltinmark
Moltinmark Posted January 11, 2021 Author #34 Posted January 11, 2021 Sails are on. Just have to finish some deck details and the running rigging. She's coming alive!! docidle, GuntherMT, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Moltinmark
GuntherMT Posted January 12, 2021 #35 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Hi Moltinmark, Looking nice. I don't envy you the task of placing all the running rigging with all those sails in the way! haha.. One quick thing I noticed from your pictures - the 'bands' on the anchor crosses should be painted black, as those bands would be iron. Edit: Oh, and to answer your question earlier in the thread about standing rigging, it was not loosened in port unless the ship was being de-rigged for overhaul or maintenance. It would normally be all left in place and tensioned up. Edited January 12, 2021 by GuntherMT docidle, Bill Morrison and Moltinmark 2 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon! Current build - Medway Longboat Complete - Armed Virginia Sloop Complete - Carmen (First Build)

Yeah I'm a little nervous about getting in there being so close the end of the build and Wrecking something and having to redo it Bill Morrison and GuntherMT 2 Quote Moltinmark
