OC. Thanks. I already tested masts and I plan to leave only "lower" masts plastic but with wooden rods inside and replace all the top masts with wooden. As for the spars, I guess it would be easier to make them from scratch than cut them off from the sails )) Jeff T and Dave_E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share #62 Posted September 21, 2022 The figurehead is amazing, I just primed it but couldn't wait to try it. Now she is truly The Black Pearl. There are also cool guys on the "transom?" but will install them tomorrow. Jeff T and ccoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share #63 Posted September 24, 2022 Ladies and gentlemens, the deck part is officially done! Made a photosession, now I'm going to take a little brake and go to the interesting part )) BTW my working desk looks like the sea ) Baker, Dave_E, ccoyle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tararasik Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share #65 Posted October 3, 2022 I rest a bit from actual building but read a lot about masting and rigging. I already learned a lot of terms, but still there are so many things that I don't understand or rather can't find. Usually I have to go through couple of books to finally find something. Is it usual thing, or I read wrong books?) But I guess it's classic - Anderson, Petersson, Mondfeld. But despite that I managed to build a mizzen mast and topmast. 72Nova, Jeff T and Dave_E 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72Nova Posted October 5, 2022 Share #66 Posted October 5, 2022 Love the detail you're putting into this, looks fantastic!. I had built my version of this ship in 2004 using the old Revell English Man O war kit.

Because main improvements I planned for the rigging and it's overwhelming. Do you have photos of your version of BP? I heard that there is another Pirate Ship from Zvezda and only difference is extra decorations like figures on the nose and trunk.

72Nova Posted October 5, 2022 Share #68 Posted October 5, 2022 I'm all for adding as much detail as you're capable of. Unfortunately I've lost all the build progress photos, now keep in mind this is my first kit bash so to speak and my first experimentation with paper sails and rigged out of box. I'd love to have a second crack at it with the kit you have, looks so much better. All the best Michael D.

Creative way of doing the Pearl — you have to look closely to see that the base kit is the English Man O’ War! tararasik and Dave_E 2 Quote Jeff Current build: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24519-spanish-galleon-by-jeff-t-revell-196-plastic-with-modifications/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share #71 Posted October 19, 2022 So I'm coming back little by little. Today I finally finished mizzen mast. It was a long process of tries and fails. For me it's harder to work with a wood than with a plastic. But I'm pretty happy with the result. I hope the rest of the masts will make faster. ccoyle, 72Nova, Jeff T and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tararasik Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share #73 Posted October 22, 2022 Foremast went faster and nicer. There is still main mast, and the interesting part begins )) Jeff T and Dave_E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
