drtrap Posted October 11, 2017 Author #902 Posted October 11, 2017 Well it is a real headache to navigate myshelf into the new msw interface... Can't find friends and previous posts... zappto 1 Quote
drtrap Posted December 21, 2017 Author #903 Posted December 21, 2017 Hi to everyone, next step the stirrups... That's my personal poin of view regarding the "wired" stirrups. My main concern is to find a way to keep those 2-3 loops around the yard closely and firmly tied each-other. Thanks egkb, BenD and Beef Wellington 3 Quote
Davemc Posted December 22, 2017 #904 Posted December 22, 2017 Hi am I correct in thinking that the Formast is supposed to be vertical and the Mizzen and Main at a slight angle? Quote
Beef Wellington Posted December 23, 2017 #905 Posted December 23, 2017 Hi Stergios, nice to see an update! I can't quite tell what you are showing in the picture. Are you using wire for the stirrups, looks like rope in bottom picture (?) Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

Hi, yes that's right. Only the formast seems perpendicular to the deck, as per the plans. Quote

I'm about to paint it black just to see its appearance Thanks Quote
drtrap Posted December 23, 2017 Author #908 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Thinking to pass the twisted wire through a hole to the yard and accomplish the whole procedure covering the stirrup with a kind of lashing of additional relative's size black thread. That will be the second version of realism, hanging the stirrups through the center of the yard and not behind it... Edited December 23, 2017 by drtrap Quote
Davemc Posted December 23, 2017 #909 Posted December 23, 2017 thanks for the reassurance Stergios was wondering if I had made an error. drtrap 1 Quote
drtrap Posted January 2, 2018 Author #910 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Happy New Year 2018 to everyone!! A couple of pics showing the progress of this phase, using a custom made jig just to set the same length [14 mm] of the stirrups........ Edited January 2, 2018 by drtrap egkb 1 Quote
drtrap Posted January 2, 2018 Author #911 Posted January 2, 2018 I must find a way to rotate the pictures.... Quote
drtrap Posted January 2, 2018 Author #912 Posted January 2, 2018 This step of action trying to test and compare 0,5 vs 0,75 black thread for the lashing.... egkb, Beef Wellington and BenD 3 Quote

drtrap Posted January 6, 2018 Author #914 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Thank you Jason. Now all yards are almost ready for the final rigging. I've applied of course a thin layer of the best in my opinion varnish: vallejo matt varnish 71120 Edited January 6, 2018 by drtrap BenD, mort stoll and RGL 3 Quote
drtrap Posted January 6, 2018 Author #915 Posted January 6, 2018 Unable to rotate all those pictures... Any help?? Quote
drtrap Posted January 6, 2018 Author #916 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Starting the rigging fot the footropes. I'm going for that with 0,5 black thread but I'm not feeling sure whether 0,5 seems "under-scaled", especially for the main yard.... Edited January 6, 2018 by drtrap BenD, Ryland Craze and zappto 3 Quote
drtrap Posted January 7, 2018 Author #917 Posted January 7, 2018 I think it is better to simulate the footropes using 0,75 black thread for the larger yards and leave 0,50 thread for the other two (nr 2 and 4).. Quote
drtrap Posted January 7, 2018 Author #918 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) A couple of pictures demonstrating the preliminary result using 0,5 and 0,75 black thread for the footropes. I'll leave the rigging semi-loose till the final placement just to be sure for the tension of the fittings and to simulate a sense of gravity rope "sagging" using floor cleaner as a rope hardener. I've found the tip to save my photos in a 270 degrees orientation. This way i can upload and show them without problem preserving my (and yours) cervical spine stablity.

drtrap Posted January 18, 2018 Author #919 Posted January 18, 2018 Hi folks. Any idea or suggestion on how to create, serve and fit those lower central slings of the "senior" masts? Thank you in advance. Quote
drtrap Posted January 19, 2018 Author #920 Posted January 19, 2018 No problem, I've found my way Quote
drtrap Posted January 20, 2018 Author #921 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) That's my version for the sling of the main yards. I used for the eye a custom made 5mm deadeye. Thanks. Stergios PS: The loop is passed the wrong way, I'll fix it later. Edited January 20, 2018 by drtrap egkb, Beef Wellington, mort stoll and 1 other 4 Quote
drtrap Posted February 3, 2018 Author #922 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Now ii's time to find the right height for the yards. I'll go using the respective platforms (I can't recall their names, now...) as a reference for the right height for the point to drill a 1mm hole and to fix the yard. PS: The photos are "uploaded" in a 90 degrees orientation. I sent a query mail to msw, no reply..... Edited February 5, 2018 by drtrap Quote
drtrap Posted February 6, 2018 Author #923 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) The rigging of the yards is almost complete. Thinking to leave all of them unmounted out off the masts. I'll continue with the permanent placement of the bowsprit and start this way the standing rigging of the ship. If you consider I'm wrong, please say it now. Edited February 8, 2018 by drtrap Quote
drtrap Posted February 11, 2018 Author #924 Posted February 11, 2018 The entry poinys of the pins and the relative heights of the yards are defined. Cheers. Any advise on how to roatate the pics [anticlockwise] or contact the administrators to help? mort stoll, egkb, Captain Poison and 1 other 4 Quote

drtrap Posted March 3, 2018 Author #927 Posted March 3, 2018 Hi friends. A questionn in brief, for the spritsail... Do you suggest to fix it to the bowsprit (using a 1mm pin etc as for the rest of the yards) or leave it hanging alone with the attached ropes and blocks? Thank you in advance. Quote
