Ferrus Manus Posted January 24 #121 Posted January 24 Your Perseverance is shaping up beautifully, Isaiah. I can see how much you've learned and how good you've gotten just in the past few images. You should be proud of yourself. Isaiah 1 Quote
Isaiah Posted January 24 Author #122 Posted January 24 Thank you Ferrus. Are you talking about the lines belayed at the cleats? Ferrus Manus 1 Quote Current build: HM Cutter Sherbourne 1763 by Isaiah - Vanguard models - 1:64 Completed Builds: Perseverance -1807 - by Isaiah - 1:48 - Colonial Brig
bigcreekdad Posted January 24 #123 Posted January 24 Fantastic build!! Can't wait to see your next one. Have you given any thought to what it might be? Hopefully, this will not be a solo venture. You have too much talent. I, too, hate walnut, and have been using cherry on my last few builds. That would you use in your next build if you could choose? Have fun! Isaiah 1 Quote

That would you use in your next build if you could choose? Have fun! Thank you! I’m not too sure on what my next build would be, I like the look of the Soleil Royale by Mantua or something similar. One of the main reasons I chose the Perseverance was because it included the DVDs and beginner friendly instructions. For my next one I’ll be more free to choose as I’ll know what I’m looking for and won’t have to constrain to certain things that I thought I needed. I also didn’t know about the Modellers ship world forum before I started.

Ferrus Manus Posted January 24 #125 Posted January 24 I would skip a Soleil Royale for now, Isaiah. That would ruin your life. Sergey Karelia and Isaiah 2 Quote

Ferrus Manus Posted February 15 #127 Posted February 15 I can't see anything wrong with what you've done or what the instructions say to do. However, I have some diagrams you need to see before you continue. Quote
Ferrus Manus Posted February 15 #129 Posted February 15 If you have any questions about the relatively confusing nature of yard rigging, ask away. Quote
Isaiah Posted February 16 Author #130 Posted February 16 Thank you Ferrus, the diagrams you’ve showed me look very similar to what mine is supposed to look like. I’ll show you the other pages one of these days.

Ferrus Manus Posted February 16 #131 Posted February 16 You can just take a picture and send it now, if you can. I would like to see the rest of the instructions, you can post it here. Quote

Ferrus Manus Posted February 16 #133 Posted February 16 You should definitely do sails, which are not mentioned in the instructions. Quote

Either way has advantages and disadvantages, but in the long run it's your build and your decision. Looking really good, by the way!

Ferrus Manus Posted March 20 #137 Posted March 20 Upon reading the rigging instructions for your Perseverance, I can definitively say that you should have thrown them away and went with what other people have been doing on the rigging of their brigs. Soon, you will develop the instinct to know what correct/incorrect rigging looks like. Quote
Ferrus Manus Posted March 20 #138 Posted March 20 At this point you're almost done with your brig, so I wouldn't have you change anything. However, for future reference, the rigging instructions for model ships are generally wrong, sometimes egregiously so. The rigging on beginner kits is sometimes simplified to the point of absurdity or complete non-functionality. Isaiah 1 Quote
Isaiah Posted March 24 Author #139 Posted March 24 (edited) I finished all the yards except the bowsprit yard. The main yards are an improvement over the fore yards I did first with a better overall quality. Some things I’ve changed: I’ve listened to you Ferrus and changed the belaying point for the boom lift, it can now swing freely without fouling. I’ve added proper cleats for the davit lifts and made hanks. Should I keep the loops on the deck or hang them on the cleat? As you can see I’ve broke the tiller off as I was never fully happy with the shape so I’ll redo that. Tomorrow I’ll be doing lots of yard rigging. Not sure why the photos are so bad, once I post them to the site they go blurry. 🤔 Edited March 24 by Isaiah ERS Rich, JacquesCousteau, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Current build: HM Cutter Sherbourne 1763 by Isaiah - Vanguard models - 1:64 Completed Builds: Perseverance -1807 - by Isaiah - 1:48 - Colonial Brig
Ferrus Manus Posted March 24 #140 Posted March 24 Your cleat knots and rope coils are the best I've seen in a while. Better than mine!! Good job, Isaiah! Isaiah 1 Quote

Ferrus Manus Posted March 25 #142 Posted March 25 You might want to add tiller gear just for that extra touch of rigging. Quote
Isaiah Posted March 26 Author #143 Posted March 26 (edited) Should I use this as a reference? I couldn’t really find anything else that’s for the ships time frame.

Ferrus Manus Posted March 26 #144 Posted March 26 This looks like a good setup for the rigging of the tiller. Quote

Ferrus Manus Posted March 29 #148 Posted March 29 This might be one of the best looking custom-made fittings I've ever seen on a non-scratch ship. Isaiah 1 Quote
Ferrus Manus Posted March 29 #149 Posted March 29 You should probably make stuff like this out of brass in the future, because it's easier to work with and can be chemically blackened. Quote
Isaiah Posted March 29 Author #150 Posted March 29 Yeah I would’ve used brass but I didn’t have any on hand. Although I do have bluing liquid and it works better on steel.
