Jeff T Posted March 15 Share #181 Posted March 15 👍. I think “too thin” may be better than too thick.

Twokidsnosleep Posted March 19 Author Share #183 Posted March 19 (edited) I was thinking that I prefer to paint figures that are 1/32 scale like the WingNut wings WWI stuff. I can’t seem to get my paint and details as smoothy smooth at 1/72 scale. Of course then the Pearl would be absolutely enormous! In 1/32😱 Edited March 19 by Twokidsnosleep Jeff T and Old Collingwood 2 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted April 12 Author Share #184 Posted April 12 (edited) It’s been a minute since working on the Pearl …other projects and life🙄 I have the Mizzen mast rat line ladders all done now. You get into a rhythm of tying these clove hitch knots I used the plastic kit parts as a guide to make the same arrangement of lines and measure as I went along Edited April 12 by Twokidsnosleep GrandpaPhil, BenD, Scottish Guy and 2 others 5 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 20 Author Share #185 Posted July 20 (edited) Haven’t given up on the old Pearl, just time and other projects online Started up again on the Foremast set the lower deadheads Then started the shrouds The lads are getting anxious for me to finish her so they can take her out of port Edited July 21 by Twokidsnosleep Old Collingwood, Jeff T, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 23 Author Share #186 Posted July 23 (edited) Five of six shroud lines for the Foremast Finicky tying, but getting the ropes tight and keeping the deadeyes all level is a juggling act. Have a bit of slack there so I adjust when the last one is done Edited July 23 by Twokidsnosleep GrandpaPhil, BLACK VIKING, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 26 Author Share #187 Posted July 26 After supper and chores, got one side of rat lines done There is a small difference in OC’s Revell and my Zvezda. I have six shrouds on the foremast and the Revell kit has five Been wondering why I see different rigging diagrams Jeff T, GrandpaPhil and Knocklouder 3 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cambo Posted September 12 Share #188 Posted September 12 Just found this thread and wow, some great work going on, hope work is still going on. I also noticed your model bikes and in particular the Vincent Black Shadow. I spent a a good deal of last weekend watching the Goodwood revival weekend live on the Tube, including this race. Great to see these old cars and bikes being used as they were intended. I thought you might like to see the bike race. Talk about ride it like you stole it.
