Ulises Victoria Posted October 11, 2013 Author #63 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Mouse redux. I just was not happy with the mouse I posted in previous photos. Here is the new mouse. I also corrected the orientation, as this is how it looks in the real Vasa photos.

I was a kid when I started building ships, but there weren't things like this forum to learn things, so it was harder. I'm 65 now. Hang in there and soon you will be a master.

Hello. I am using Corel's rigging plans, and was trying to complement with the book The Rigging of Ships in the Days of the Spritsail Topmast, 1600-1720 by R.C. Anderson. However, trying to use both sources proved to be really confusing, so at the moment I am following Corel's plans. Thank you, Guy.

JanV Posted December 7, 2013 #75 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) It is always best to use one plan. problems with using 2 different plans can occure, I made a same mistake in some parts of my Vasa!! (bow part) I have compared now partly the Corel plans with the sources I have till now, and the Corel plan looks ok, some minor differences, but I am also using this to avoid further problems.

Your rope making skills are excellent. congrats! Do you have rigging plans for the running rigging, as well as what Corel provides for standing rigging.? Regards, Michael Thank you so much for your kind words. I forgot to mention in my previous post, that I own the Vasa Museum set of plans. I may use these for my running rigging. Not sure yet. Have to do some research. For what I have seen so far, Corel's plans are accurate, but I feel need to take a more detailed look. I'm almost done with the standing rigging. A couple of lines and lastly the shrouds. I deviated from the instructions here and decided to place all center lines and stays first and at the very last the shrouds, as these will interfere when trying to work with rigging in the middle of the ship.

Ulises Victoria Posted December 17, 2013 Author #78 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Update and some new photos. I am revealing here also, my ultra secret, super-high-tech jig to make coils. I am starting to fix the shrouds, starting with the uppermost, by rigging the lanyards. Ratlines come after that (I'm preparing mentally myself for this task), and finally the running rigging. A few lower shrouds are already done as I had to finish them to fix some of the lines running from the stays. Also you will see a lot of loose tangling lines. I will fix those later when I'm sure everything is as it has to be. I can see now the light at the end of the tunnel. (Hope it's not the train ) Thanks for watching!

Kind Regards Nigel Thanks a lot, Nigel. You put it in soft words. I say those thin lines were a royal PITA. . When I saw in the plans how many of those there were, I thought about skipping them altogether. Glad I did not. They were a great learning experience and gave me a great sense of accomplishment.

Landlubber Mike Posted January 2, 2014 #87 Posted January 2, 2014 Ulises, your work is absolutely outstanding. I love the improved rigging line and blocks. That extra bit of enhanced detail really sets a model apart from a "by the kit" model. I'll have to look into improving those components for my next builds. I really like your furled sails. Just out of curiosity, did you add clews to the sails? A number of modelers don't add them, but a few I've seen do. I ended up adding clews to my Badger sails (in large part because I was wondering how you would otherwise run the clew lines), but I was sorta guessing on how to do it.

The whole of your build is stunning, and the rigging is outstanding and puts mine to shame. Yes this build is something to be proud of. Just keep enjoying it. Regards DAVID Quote
