marsalv Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share #125 Posted February 23, 2014 So I went into the making ropes and after about a week of intensive work (exactly 27 hours of actual time) I have done. There will be a total of 9 different rope thicknesses in the model (7 are ropes + 2 basic yarns from which the ropes are made). I made about 220 ropes of different thicknesses.

marsalv Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share #129 Posted March 14, 2014 Thank you nmbrook for kind words.

NMBROOK Posted March 14, 2014 Share #130 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Hi Marsalv Thank you very much for the spreadsheet,I have saved it.I did find the list of sizes in the AOS book and have ordered rope and pear block from Chuck at Syren.It did not give footrope size,but I took a guess and ordered 0.2mm rope.Lucky guess as your table says 0.17mm Excellent work on the upper masts I think I may resort to splicing the lower octagonal sections to the dowel.Studying the book,there is as much work in the masting and rigging of this model as there is as building and fitting out the hull!!!!

SawdustDave Posted June 19, 2014 Share #135 Posted June 19, 2014 Hi Marsalv: Glad I found your incredible work. You will become my latest in extremely fine MASTERS of the art that I shall be following and learning from. Having now built several ships from scratch, I am inspired by many builders, such as yourself to strive every day to improve my own work. Thanks for being an example to all of us.

marsalv Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share #136 Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks everyone for comments. Work on the RC will now be temporarily stopped. I started to build a new model - see my new log scratch build of Pandora. The work on the rigging will continue in the autumn and winter because these works I can make indoors.

marsalv Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share #139 Posted November 9, 2014 Hi again, after a short break I would like finally finished my Royal Caroline. Although most of the parts are already done, there is still a lot of work on the sails and rigging. I started slowly preparing blocks and auxiliary cables on the bowsprit. Jib traveller will be mounted later on bowsprit. Mirabell61, NMBROOK, janos and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share #144 Posted December 2, 2014 I have finished the shrouds instalation. The used dead eyes are not ideal - groove for the rope is too big and the rope is hidden in the groove. I will try to make my own dead eyes for my next project (Pandora).

GuntherMT Posted December 6, 2014 Share #147 Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) That's a great technique for making that look on the mouse. Did you secure all the ends with CA or something before trimming them back, or do you have some other way of dealing with the ends and blending them into the rope at both ends of the mouse? Can you explain in detail how you worked the threads around the mouse to get that final 'weaving' effect, did you actually weave another thread into all those?

Can you explain in detail how you worked the threads around the mouse to get that final 'weaving' effect, did you actually weave another thread into all those? All the ends are secured with diluted PVA glue to the stay. It is very important that the "skeleton" from thread must contain an odd number. Then just drag out another thread throughout the "skeleton", alternately one under, one above thread. It is little difficult and time-consuming work. The stays (and their accessories) is ready and installed on the model. Dimitris71, Dubz, GuntherMT and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is little difficult and time-consuming work. The stays (and their accessories) is ready and installed on the model. So the pattern on the mouse is actually 'weaved' by using an odd thread? Yikes. Do you use a different thread from the skeleton for each row of the weave, or just use a single thread and weave it around until the entire mouse is complete (i.e. spiral it)?

marsalv Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share #150 Posted December 10, 2014 Hi GuntherMT, there is odd number of grooves on the wooden ring, each groove contains one thread. I used a single thread and weaved it around to make a spiral - this is reason why skeleton must contain odd number of thread. If you use even number of thread in skeleton, you can not use a single thread, but you must use a new thread for each row in mouse - this is not good idea.
