themadchemist Posted August 14, 2013 #272 Posted August 14, 2013 Nice job Randy, Standing rigging's over 1/2 done. Running rigging soon to follow. Does the new kit come with sails or sail cloth? I think the SF1 is just cloth, but I thought I read somewhere that SF2 has presewn... As I'm looking at the pictures and I think how it sucks that by the time they get rigged it's hard to get a good full shot without losing detail. The white background really brings out the detail. Love the stay lashings, they really seem to pop. Shrouds look great, all ratlined. Florencia's becoming quite a lovely lady. Quote

sport29652 Posted August 15, 2013 #279 Posted August 15, 2013 Furl, I like that idea, how is the sail kept tight against the yard arm ? I know it will be good at the ends but at the middle it would droop, so did they use individual ropes to secure it?

Ferit Posted August 15, 2013 #281 Posted August 15, 2013 With sails furled, it seems to be in repose, to stay in calm at the port or anchored at the sea... At the same time there would be an uncrowded view and more static... This alternative should be taken into consideration... lamarvalley 1 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy)
sport29652 Posted August 15, 2013 #282 Posted August 15, 2013 While we're on the subject of sorts would/is their a foot rope on these type of ships. Every other ship I ever seen has them.

mtaylor Posted August 15, 2013 #283 Posted August 15, 2013 Randy, Don't add the footropes yet... seems that footropes really didn't come into their own until the mid1600's. Possible that they weren't on the San Francisco..or any galleon for that matter. Been playing from Google and no definitive dates except 17th/18th century which is really vague.

themadchemist Posted August 29, 2013 #288 Posted August 29, 2013 Just don't mix up one of Florencia's sails for a hanky. otherwise when rigged it may look like the seagulls used it for target practice personally I find charmin sensitive with vit E and Aloe the best for the red sore nose. lamarvalley 1 Quote

themadchemist Posted August 31, 2013 #290 Posted August 31, 2013 Hope your soon up and doing as you please again Randy. Sounds like maybe the allergies weakened your immune system and let Gnomitis (similar to bronchitis but more commonly caught under a bridge) get a hold. Take your medicine like a good builder and soon you'll be back to 100%. Hope this isn't an e-virus . That codeine syrup is a miracle worker, nothing seems to work on the chest congestion quite like it and the other effect aren't bad either, it'll help you rest and if your like me its hard to sleep when congested and hurting. Hope your ribs aren't too sore, if this is causing a cough. Sending you well wishes and Florencia dreams. lamarvalley 1 Quote

themadchemist Posted September 2, 2013 #295 Posted September 2, 2013 So how exactly do you catch the flies to tie, Mr Miyagi style with chopsticks or do you lasso 'em and isn't that kinda cruel to the flies. I mean I hate flies myself but I usually just swat them and put them out of their misery. So do you keep them as pets after tieing them? texxn5, Sjors, lamarvalley and 1 other 4 Quote
