Terry Foster Posted May 1, 2022 #1 Posted May 1, 2022 I have just located this forum and am through building this plastic Revell 1:96 plastic kit It is my first build. I am puzzled by the pin numbers on the attached diagram. Sail9: where does the bottom right fixing go to? On main diagram - cord 96 ties to pulley top right of sail 10 However on detail closeup on same page it fastens to pulley on platform. Sorry I am new to this and do not know the names of parts of ship where sails and poles are concerned.(teach me) Furthermore on main diagram - cord from (109) goes to pulley on mast then down to pin 92. On detail in manual rope 92 appears out of space to pulley at top of sail (10) on mast. The manual is ever so confusing. I would be thankful for any feedback Thank You, Terry Dave_E 1 Quote

I would be thankful for any feedback Thank You, Terry I am building the same kit. I haven't come to the rigging yet, but I am planning for it. I have several sources for rigging clipper ships that I am reading. I think it is good to know your subject before going ahead and trying it. My references say that most clippers were rigged basically the same. Sailing ship rigging has a definite purpose for each type of rig. My suggestion is to get some references about rigging clipper ships and understand the purpose of each line, then you can decide for yourself where each line starts and ends. I know when it comes time for me to rig my model, I will have every source I can read and understand why and where each line goes. shipman, mtaylor and Dave_E 3 Quote

popeye2sea Posted May 1, 2022 #5 Posted May 1, 2022 As far as I can tell, the inset is more correct. Line 92 is the inhaul for sail 10, attached to the top corner of the sail through the block at the base of the gaff and down to the pin rail aft of the mast. Line 94 is the down haul for sail 8, attached to the lower forward corner of sail through one of the blocks at the mast cap, down through the top platform on the port side and belay to the pin rail forward of the mast. Line 95 is the peak halyard for the gaff of sail 10, attached to the end of the gaff through the other block at the mast cap then down through the top platform and belay to the pin rail forward of the mast. Line 96 is the downhaul for sail 9, attached to the lower forward corner of sail 9 then through the block at the back edge of the top platform then down to the pin rail forward of the mast. Line 109 is the sheet for sail 10, attached to the lower aft corner of sail 10 and then belay directly to the pin rail on the port side. Perhaps for this line the diagram is calling for you to lead line 109 through both lower corners of the sail 10, the forward part through the block at the lower forward corner of the sail and then to pin 92, but this part does not make much sense to me. I hope that helps. Regards, Dave_E and shipman 2 Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci

Thore Posted June 17, 2023 #8 Posted June 17, 2023 The bowsprit has been broken off. Does anyone know how the chains and ropes should fit on the Revell Cutty Sark 1/96 bowsprit Keith Black 1 Quote
Keith Black Posted June 18, 2023 #9 Posted June 18, 2023 Thore, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. Put "Cutty Sark" in the search box and go through the numerous Cutty Sark build logs, I'm sure you find answers to all your questions. allanyed and mtaylor 2 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration
David Chapman Posted April 1 #10 Posted April 1 Should I glue the entire length of the rigging "rope" to keep it in place and stiff or do I just glue the attachment points? David Quote
