Ferrus Manus Posted July 29, 2023 Share #96 Posted July 29, 2023 By the way, once i am done with the galleon, i plan on building a "small" project inspired by the Perseverance, the 1/96 HMS Botany Bay (modified HMS Beagle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share #97 Posted July 30, 2023 Is it called HMS Botany Bay? I couldn’t find any info on the ship.

Ferrus Manus Posted July 30, 2023 Share #98 Posted July 30, 2023 Exactly. I made the name up because i liked it. The Revell models of both HMS Beagle and HMS Bounty are horrendously inaccurate, so i had to just make something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share #99 Posted July 30, 2023 Oh ok. Will you just build from scratch using the HMS Bounty/Beagle plans? Also, will that be your first wood model?

Isaiah Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share #101 Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Ran out of black cord today, this is where I got up to. I have loosely rigged the fore topmast stay and two of the jib stays. I also shortened the distance between the fore stay deadeyes.

Isaiah Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share #102 Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) I have the two jib stays just sitting there right now because there’s just too much strain on the bowsprit. Next thing I do before rigging the flying jib stay as well as tightening the others is rigging the bowsprit stay. (See photos below) One question I have is how to connect the stay to the keel. Not really sure on how to do that.

Dr PR Posted August 1, 2023 Share #103 Posted August 1, 2023 It was common to drill a hole through the stem and lead the bobstay through the hole. Sometimes the bobstay was run doubled, just looping through the hole in the stem with some small stuff seizing near the stem. The other ends were spliced around a deadeye, heart or thimble with lanyards to pull them taut. In the mid to late 1800s chain replaced rope for the bobstay, and metal brackets were fastened to the stem for the chain to attach to with a shackle.

Ferrus Manus Posted August 1, 2023 Share #104 Posted August 1, 2023 I would drill a hole in the stem and a small groove for the bobstay to go through. This was a load bearing line, and an eyebolt simply wouldn't be enough. Isaiah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share #105 Posted August 1, 2023 Ok thank you, I’ll just loop it through the hole that I’ll drill. This was my vague original idea.

Ferrus Manus Posted August 1, 2023 Share #107 Posted August 1, 2023 Note how the fore and main stays are snaked. This was common for ships of the era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted August 1, 2023 Share #108 Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) It's okay not to snake the stays. I didn't do that on my USS United States. However, it provides just that extra sense of realism. If i were you, i would include every line on the ship, and not skip over anything. You aren't building a first rate ship like Victory, so this shouldn't be too challenging. Edited August 1, 2023 by Ferrus Manus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share #109 Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) I’ll have to think about it. Would I just do it on the forestay’s where two of them are close together?

Ferrus Manus Posted August 2, 2023 Share #110 Posted August 2, 2023 You can do it on either the forestays, or the fore and main stays. Isaiah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share #111 Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I thought I’d share my progress since I just finished rigging the ratlines. The flying jib stays and the bowsprit stay are also rigged. Rigging the ratlines sure are tedious and boring but I think they look pretty good.

Isaiah Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share #114 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Good timing mate! I just finished the top mast and top gallant shrouds with the accompanying ratlines which I prolonged because I found it so boring. I’m happy to have got that out of the way and onto the running rigging. here is my progress.

Isaiah Posted January 24 Author Share #119 Posted January 24 (edited) I will be spending more time on the model as I want to get it done in the next few months. I have just completed a few running rigging items including: The boom, boom lift and topping lift, boom mainsheet, the gaff, throat halliard and peak halliard.

Ferrus Manus Posted January 24 Share #120 Posted January 24 Great! You did almost everything perfectly! However, the falls for the peak lifts for the spanker boom should belay somewhere around the mast or at the sides of the ship around where the mast is. This is so the spanker boom can freely swing just like the gaff. Isaiah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
