*Hans* Posted September 30, 2014 Share #331 Posted September 30, 2014 Vivian, wouldn't it be to much work - first cutting the sails and then sewing them together again? (beware - we men are not so good in sewing/stitching). What I did was simply stitch the sails every 1 cm so it looks like the sails are made of small straps, but in real they aren't (well: I must be honest - my mother did the stitching).

Vivian Galad Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share #332 Posted September 30, 2014 Piet, some indonesian food recipes would be most apreciated - asian food is part of my everyday cooking. Don´t know if Indonesia would ship peppers as gifts for a bilateral commercial agreement on the early 1400´s, but who knows? It could be . Thank you for your kind words and concrete on these rainny, hot spots of our world tend to quickly gain that look - too much lichens and fungi. Hans, I could do that too, since the looks would be enough. I´ll do a test - thank you for the tip!! I´m not that master seamstress but can find myself well around needles, by the way .

Piet Posted October 1, 2014 Share #333 Posted October 1, 2014 Hi Vivan, I'll see what kind of Indo recipes you may like and PM you on it. There are several mailorder places you can buy all the ingredients. I'll send a few as well. They ship anywhere in the world. Cheers, Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Vivian Galad Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share #334 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Hello again! Well, maybe I´ll get more updates as I enter the final laps. Here is the hole fix over the cabin and the switch for my cabin´s lighting. I made a step by step on the fixing/lighting as I´m proud to have done it. I know it´s not the greatest of executions or the best mechanism I could´ve used, but those hours spent on science fairs at school weren´t wasted. :D First picture shows the led with a circuit board - I used the led from a garden beacon with a timer, so the battery wouldn´t be consumed when I forgot to turn it off. This is my remade lantern - first version I used tin and painted paper. Replaced the painted paper for silk and better painted the tin frame. Attached the lantern to the circuit board. Cut two 2mm copper stripes from a copper foil and soldered them to the battery box. Cut another 2mm copper stripes and soldered them to the circuit board. Fixed the circuit board on its place (there was a hole for the lantern to be placed in the cabin) and glued the copper stripes parallel - that way the battery box could be placed and turned into the switch. After the eletronics were placed, used the same wood for deck planking to close the hole. Part of the stripes were left for the switch. Hole closed, planking aged and battery box/switch placed - ligths on. I thought on replacing all the planks so that trapdoor look wouldn´t be there, but kinda liked the idea. Maybe I´ll fix some holder for it. Next pictures shows the lighting effect. Now, all for the rigging!!!!!

Vivian Galad Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share #343 Posted October 1, 2014 Thank u Pops, Mark, Matti and Grant. Thanks for every "like" everyone has clicked too ;) Hans, that remembers me when I was trying to build a medieval village on 1:50 scale with tavern/inn included - maybe that´s a call for some dioramas on my future. Makes me think on building a floating restaurant, too :P Joe, that´s something to wait from all of my buildings, more and more. Thank you. Carl, to answer properly, muito obrigada!!! Raymond. I´m getting ready for some challenges soon. Next kits I´ll try to do more than one at the same time as I already am hoarding some POF material (both for reading as for building) - I´m anxious for fully scratching a ship. Ty for your words, amigo. Piet, glad u liked !!

Vivian Galad Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share #349 Posted October 10, 2014 So, I took some pictures from my latest efforts. Masts are rigged and waiting for sails. Main mast is a little bit too tensioned, as you can see. I don´t know if with sail on it will bring it to it´s rightful position or if I should release some tension before installing the sail - my fear is to let it go and have loose ropes on my model. Would be great to have some opinions in that. There are some few additions beyond sails, as the eyes on front rails and the painting on stern (I´ll make it as the kit´s decal don´t fit in my ship).

NAZGÛL Posted October 10, 2014 Share #350 Posted October 10, 2014 That's such a lovely model Vivian! I can't say for tension, as I'm also new to rigging. But if my gut would say it was to tensed, I'd changed it. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted October 10, 2014 Share #351 Posted October 10, 2014 Vivian, Well done so far ! Fore the tension of the main mast...just make it a little loose . When you are putting sails on it, it will not help you to place the mast right. And not all the ropes has to be that tight as a guitar string........

Ulises Victoria Posted October 10, 2014 Share #352 Posted October 10, 2014 Vivian: Great work, linda. If you don't like the tension on the mast, by all means change it. Otherwise, It will haunt you every day. You will feel a lot better after you fix it. Believe me! That's something I've learned in this hobby.

popeye the sailor Posted October 15, 2014 Share #355 Posted October 15, 2014 looks great with all her masts.........to my knowledge, all mast should have the same rake {slant}. it irks me a little to see that most instructions do not give the increment. there are ships though, earlier period, that the fore mast has a different rake, depending on the country that sailed her.

janet bode Posted October 26, 2014 Share #356 Posted October 26, 2014 Hi Vivian. I liked your rigging, did you have any problems i am just about to start on mine. Are you making sails for her yet, i bought some Eygption sailcloth at Blackpool model boat show here in England i intend to use it for my Red Dragon. Your build looks a lot differant to mine it is very interesting to compare our builds, please let see pictures of the sails i look forward to seeing more of you lovely looking model. My very best wishes. Janet. Vivian Galad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivian Galad Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share #357 Posted October 30, 2014 Guys, thanks for the advise. I put the tension out, but the mast still seems a bit curved back, a lot better than before anyways. As I began two other projecst I gave this one a little pause. Janet, I´ll use the kit´s sailcloth. At first I thought using other material but couldn´t see a real improvement on that. What I´ll do, though, is to cut and sewn cloth stripes so my sails won´t look so plain. My caravel (first wooden ship) came with pre-sewn sails and it looks good enough, but now when I look at it I think it would be better to sewn them myself, we learn as we model, that´s so true. Thank you for your kind words and I do find it great we can build the same kit and yet come out with so unique models. ^_^ Foultide and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
