Congratulations, and best wishes for you both 😆

 

Your build is looking awesome and I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I've been eyeing up this kit myself and looking at your work is great encouragement, ( Just continuing to postpone my Bounty build till I get my skill level up. 😊 )

Have to say it's a great kit. Even though I won't use some fittings and all, still gave me much fun. It's a great kit to bash, too, as the junks have so many variants in build and shape through time. And thanks! 😊

Wonderful wedding pictures and thank you for posting them.  Here's to much happiness for both of you.  cheers-2286.gif.0e2b9c9f01b1608ba4a06465af036a9b.gif

My many thanks, Dee Dee! You helped me a lot and I will always be thankful for your gift. I've already rigged the main mast's sail. 😄

We Will, Popeye! Life is short, after all. 😉😉

 

Thought I would post the rigging till last weekend, but couldn't. Got to DM my 23 years AD&D tablet and time flew. 

 

 

Posted (edited)

And here are some pictures. First one to see how It would be like. Test the blocks and such, since I intended to let the sails a bit functional. 

 

I researched through some papers I found and the rigging seems to be too close to the kit's instructions, so I decided to go along with them.

Second one with the sail on it's place. Ropes are still loose till I find a way to set them as I want - won't use the instructions for that.

 

IMG_20190414_204020.thumb.jpg.f80da818d62c010eab1521d3dbead235.jpg

 

Third one details the ropes that pin the sail to the mast. That part was a little bit challenging as the thread was already sewed to the sail.

IMG_20190414_203947.thumb.jpg.9406d0a1a071c553e33cbda1d2af4d99.jpg

 

Next post I'll show the sail in place, just waiting for the other 2 to be rigged.

V,

Nice work on the sails. Interesting how the entire bow section is totally open to any slightly rough seas. That said bow section is needed as a work area. Nice project!!

Vivian,

looking more carefully could that actually be the stern? It appears as if the rudder may be there as well, and as to how you mounted its sail. Not familiar at all with these boats.

Hope not so much. For what I've seen, the junk rig can be pretty practical. Will get there soon 😄

The stern has the cabin. The bow is open so the anchor can be more easily handled. The rudder can be lowered or brought up depending on water depht. The rudder design tells a lot, since there are regional designs. Sails too!

Beautiful work on a type not seen much here.
