wyz Posted May 12, 2018 Share #541 Posted May 12, 2018 Wow! The work on those sails is off the scale nice. I envy your craftsmanship. Your Pandora is one of my favorite build logs to follow. Simply awesome! mtaylor and Bluto 1790 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share #543 Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Thank you guys for so many nice responses. To aviaamator: I have found no informations about it, but there are many pictures in the Lees book (The masting and rigging of english ships of war), where can you see that direction of leech rope was the same on both sides of the sail. I continue with the fore and main course. Only these two sails will be partially furled.

aviaamator Posted May 18, 2018 Share #544 Posted May 18, 2018 Immaculately!! P.S. I understand Your answer about the sails, thank you! Still there is a question concerning the direction of a twist of a running rigging in what party it twist at production: to the right or to the left? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsalv Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share #545 Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) The running rigging should have right direction, but it is difficult to make right-handed rigging from the right-handed threads. I tried it, but the results was not acceptable. So I decided to make all rigging as left-handed. Next part - cross jack yard and mizzen course installation.

druxey Posted May 21, 2018 Share #547 Posted May 21, 2018 Nice to see the correct number of reef points per cloth! If you need right hand line and only have right hand thread, you can unwind the thread and rewind it left handed before spinning right hand line from it. mtaylor, paulsutcliffe and dvm27 3 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryzuhr Posted May 22, 2018 Share #550 Posted May 22, 2018 Greetings marsalv! I recently joined MSW and have been reading through build logs to try and learn as much as I can before I start my first build. I'm currently on page 6 of your build and might I say this looks like it is turning out to be a beautiful ship. I can't wait to get the experience it would take to reproduce anything close to the level of craftsmanship you are displaying. Looking forward to catching up and following along!

Ryzuhr Posted May 23, 2018 Share #552 Posted May 23, 2018 Ohhh man. I finally caught up with your entire log and this is all impressive. Excellent craftsmanship and very precise work! If I could ask, how do you learn this kind of rigging? The Amati Drakkar kit I want to build does not have a fraction of this much rigging involved and the Pandora seems like a real challenge. Is rigging skill picked up overtime as your build more models and following provided instructions or are there additional resources for modelers to read up on to do all of this? mtaylor 1 Quote Cheers, Andrew ---------- Current: Amati Viking Drakkar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsalv Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share #553 Posted May 28, 2018 Thank you guys for all comments and likes. I am very happy because number of followers reached 100. To druxey: I have tried the metod of making ropes you describe, but the result was not good for me. If you unwind the thread and rewind it left handed before spinning resulting rope is not the same quality as the ropes without unwinding (my opinion). From this reason I decided to make the left handed ropes. To cabrapente: I dont undestand the word " cabuyeria ", but all knots are fixed with diluted white PVA glue. To Ryzuhr: Most information is taken form Anatomy of the ship PANDORA book. But this book does not include the all necessary information so I use the following books for addition: James Lees - The masting and rigging of english ships of war David Antscherl The fully framed model, rigging a sixth rate sloop of 1767-1780 Klaus Schrage - Rundhloelzer, Tauwerk und Segel. So and now some new pictures - installation of topsails. iosto, Tigersteve, herask and 33 others 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvm27 Posted May 28, 2018 Share #555 Posted May 28, 2018 I think it's very hard to add convincing looking sails to a fully rigged model.
