dafi Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share #578 Posted March 19, 2014 That casting was not planned ... The letters where just fixed with clear varnish, that allows good positioning and leaves almost no trace. As I still opt for the 1920 Vic, I thought it could save me some work, as the figure head was already heavily overworked compared to oob.

Dennis Terry Posted April 11, 2014 Share #592 Posted April 11, 2014 Hi Daniel, I found your build log and have read every post religiously. Most impressed with your build. Your imagination and techniques are unbelieveable. I am interested in obtaining a set of your photo etched parts for my own build. I live in the U.S. and wondered how to go about it. I have tried to contact you through your site but to no avail. If you could let me know how to proceed I would appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

dafi Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share #594 Posted May 5, 2014 Finally - finally - finally!!! Looks like you sensed the force growing Lawrence, I really found time for my sweety :-) First some hanging trials for the anchor ... ... just to realised that it is the point and not the fluke resting in the shoe. Then finally some rigging :-) *enjoy* Prepared some deadeyes this time not using toothpicks but using thin battens from the draw plate ... ... drilled and painted. Tried something new for the rigging procedure ... ... a round stick with the external diameter of the deadeye with a slot ... ... 4 times round and secured, taking down the ring ... ... and forced over the deadeye. Then prepared a new template ... ... stuck the deadeye into the hole and clamped it ... ... and made the two seizings. And what for ?!? Simply for that the last shroud does look good beside topgallant backstay, shifting backstay and royal backstay :-) And this is how it looks ...

dafi Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share #596 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) After some lenghty but fruitful discussion in our german forum about the orientaion of the free end left or right, forth or aft we found that almost all literature shows it the way that it is displayed: - for the cable-laid shrouds - Starboard pointing foreward, larboard aft :-) - for plain- or hawser-laid shrouds - Starboard pointing aft, larboard foreward :-) The opnly one showing it vica versa is Marquardt in his Eighteenth Century Rigs and Rigging, funnily, his other book Schoner in Nord und Süd shows it the "common" way. Some other information coming the way was incorporated immediately - Max. distance of the big deadeyes twice diameter - Tackle about half the diameter of the shroud - Shroud not too tight around the deadeye - free end of the tackle passes through the gap of deadeye and shroud - free end shorter And here we go Mark 2: before: After Still have to clear and belay the tackles to look less messy :-) XXXDAn Edited May 8, 2014 by dafi Aussie048, gjdale, lambsbk and 11 others 14 Quote To victory and beyond! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/ See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/ Finest etch parts for HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller Kit), USS Constitution 1:96 (Revell) and other useful bits. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafi Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share #598 Posted May 8, 2014 Just added the difference inbetween cable-laid shrouds and plain- or hawser-laid shrouds in the entry upstairs :-) This leads me to some further question: - The top-mast shrouds were plain laid? This means the ends are pointing the other way than on the lower shrouds. - The distance of twice diameter of the deadeye looks good on the lower shrouds lanyards. Is this applicable too for the topmast shrouds? There the distance usually looks much longer in comparison? - When was the batten on top of shrouds introduced to maintain their orientation? Marquardt only makes a small remark in the picture section telling "about 1800". - Was this also introduced for the topmast shrouds?

mtaylor Posted May 9, 2014 Share #599 Posted May 9, 2014 You ask some tough questions, sir. I'd take your last two posts #637 and #640 and put them in the rigging section to ask the questions. Might get a different set of eyes. My simple answer is: I have no idea. Do you have Lee's Masting and Rigging book?
