Recommended Posts

As soon as I solved this problem with bowsprit fixing I went to the mast tackles and made them tight + added imitation of ropes coils

Next stage was fore shrouds installation...as soon as it is my first model where I wanted to make more or less full style rigging,I men as much complicate as I can do...I was a little bit afraid to start...

One of the unsolved problem which is still remains - I use not proper ropes for rigging but ordinary polyester  threads...and appearance is not as it should be when You make Your own ropes...but OK...next model I will do with correct threads,just need to fabricate simplest rope makeing mashine

Thread which I used for shroud - hawser laid ,as said -ordinary rope...and same I saw was used on Duyfken replica

Above deadeye I didn't make end crossed standing part and didn't make "throat seizing" but just seized end rope to its standing part when rope went around deadeye -finaly have rope end lie forward on sbs and aft on ps ...classical arrangment on modern ship will looks different

Thread which I used was preliminary painted by acrylic paint (mix of brown+black+ochre light+raw umber+matt acrylic varnish) - proportion free, just maid it close to dark brown for standing rigging and brown -raw umber- yellow- for running rigging

Before start making shrouds I made hard carton pattern where marked pozition of the shrouds+position of upper deadeye+ratline position 

upper deadeye secured with wire wich I purchased in some shop for sewing hobby and a drop of cyanoacrylate adhesive gel ...

The rest of procedure was much easy that I supposed :D -make shroud goes round of upper deadeye,adjust position ,make it tight as much as possible and hold by clip + secure end of the rope with couple of seizing...

forward shroud I made serviced

I guess this "technology" is very well known and isn't so interesting... ratlines will be installed at the final stage of the rigging...

Next stage for me was just continue to attach shrouds without laniards and when all set was installed left them like this for a moment, than I fabricate fore stay with loop and mouse and install it and adjust nessry lenght ...and after that only it was possible  to remove carton and install and adjust laniards...adjusting laniards tighteness took me couple of days due to plastic masts very sensitive and load need to be distributed very smooth

As soon as it was done I secured them with drop of CA gel oposite and than made free end of laniard turn around and secured...details of location knob and passing those laniard ends well discribed in "The rigging of ships. In the days of the Spritsail topmast 1600-1720 - Anderson"

Mouse I've made from piece of liquid steel ,forming a ball shape(not pear shape like on modern vessel) and imitated stitch by knife + painted later on

Shrouds top Loops not served ///as I understood in this time they shouldn't  be(continent)

next stage for me was the fore mast top rope installation...actually it is not necessary to have it in normal sailing condition...but I wanted to have it just for fun :)

During top rope installation I've found that I need to replace mast bitt - this part from the kit was wrong construction and couldn't adopt my top rope...so I fabricated new one from telefon plastic cards...

than there was questn how and where to secure running end of this rope...I didn't find better solution but only to install additional cleat...it is funny, but I don't know how it should be arranged on galleon...I didn't find this arrangement on modern galleon sailing replica

From the books I only understood that mast bitt should have 4-th sheeve fo this rope :(

Ok

futtock shrouds and catharpin next step ...

catharpins on my models will not be installed , I found that it is not "mandatory"  for galleon age ....the rest I tried to do as it is discribed in" The rigging of ships. In the days of the Spritsail topmast 1600-1720 - Anderson"

than I installed lower yard ties and halliards,ties clued to cap and tightened by halliards , lower yard will be installed later on together with fore sail

than there was a problem with guns...actually spanish galleon should have two wheel gun-carriage, kit version was 4 wheel, and I tried to modify it for two wheels carriage...let say I did it formal only due to wrong position of kit guns frame which positioned too low, and full size modification was not available ...so I did what I did :) , and removed previously installed gun tackles ...I don't know what kind of arrangements of this tackles need to be done for breech-loader guns and I left breeching only

Mary Roze armament pozition - just for example as it was very near to galleon age

Next stage,this month and last till my next vacation in september - spritsail making and installation

I used high quality percale for sails making - by my opinion- it is the best material even for scale 1:100 remains more or less acceptable...

For this scale I simplified procedure as much as possible, and use textile clue wherever posible - bolt ropes - clued to the sail edge,cloth connection imitated by pencil sharped to hair thick  and than all lines need to be light squeezed by awl ...

Fabric painted by wood stain in advance soaked in mix of water and white wooden clue and dried without ironing - after such treatment looks and feel like paper -very handle to work with :)

Krill,

I know it has been awhile since your last post, but I just wanted to let you know that your rigging is phenomenal! I am blown away by how beautiful your rigging is looking, and that is on top of your scratch building. Hopefully, on your next vacation, you'll post more.

Thanks again,

Stveve

Krill,

I did want to ask you if you used regular white glue to create the nail heads I saw on the bottom wale and the planking? How exactly did you do it? If not the white glue, could you let me know how you created them, they look awesome?

Thanks,

Steve

Good day,

Dear Steve,WackoWolf

Thanks for Your warm comments,

I'm very sorry since long time I didn't refresh my building report,....for some reasons...but I didn't give it up, still have some progress...but everything goes very slowly...

Steve,

You asked abt imitation of nails head... afraid my reply is too late,...but anyway... I did it mixing acrylic Matt vanish with very fine "finish crack filler",which remains from that time when I did my flat repairing...actually such staff remained a lot,may be 500 gym. but for our purpose we need a few grams. only :)))... so this "finish fine chalk Crack filler" need to mix with acrylic Matt vanish, to reach some kind of cream consistency, and than you can use it for imitation nails/bolts head...I used some kind of dosage plastic tube to apply this staff on the surface...when you did micro drop ,wait couple of seconds,and than gently press it ,to make it flat...when it became dry,paint it to the color You need and finally You will have such nails head imitation...need to have a little bit practice ,but after couple of tries You will have good results...I'm very sorry for my English, but hope You did catch idea..

 

Some pctrs of the current stage of my building you can see here

Wish all of you all the Best!!!

Kirill,

It is great to see you back here. That is some outstanding rigging you are doing my friend! Thanks for the links, I checked me out, although Google Translate can be very amusing at time. Your English is far better than my Russian can ever be, so do not sweat it. And finally thanks for the explanation for the nail heads, I got the overall understanding and will give it a try on my next ship. As always, I am looking forward to your next installment.

Good day,

Dear friends,

I did some some progress ,since last posts... unfortunately not so muchbas I planned to do during this my vacation...but at least Im very close now to start main mast running rigging !!! :)))

Im very glad that I finally passed that most monotonious phase of rattling main mast shrouds...to fitt yards with sails and add running rigging ,will be much easy...

also I completed jobs with F mast halliards...which remains uncompleted since last activities on my shipyard :)

with this halliard installation, actually with those crowfeet...was a problem,how to imitate theiir attachment to the stays and how to

show equal tension of each bridlеs- this I managed by apply liquid CA on each bridle while they were under extra load...when clue dried, all treads remains strait...

that effect wich I need...same time,in the middle of the process,when all bridles were movable,I adjusted stays in slightly curved position (up) as they looks at the real ship...almost same I saw on the picture of Kalmar Nykel replica...

there are some recent fotoes

next vacation I planned to make some rearrangements,and shift them closer to the Fmast base...
