Garward Posted March 12, 2013 #31 Posted March 12, 2013 Looks good, but block seizing and deadeye lanyards too light, strongly differ on color from shrouds.

kostas_gr Posted March 12, 2013 Author #32 Posted March 12, 2013 garward can you please explain me with more words and if possible pictures what you excactly say... i am not so familiar with terminology I have used 2 colors for shrouds, black (painted with enamel paint)->for standing rigging, and the nanutral that shroud had (light sand, BEIGE) for the rest also I have few more questions about rigging Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98
Garward Posted March 12, 2013 #33 Posted March 12, 2013 Model photo from a sea museum in Madrid: pay attention to color of the ropes passing through deadeyes and on shrouds color - it is almost identical.

kostas_gr Posted March 12, 2013 Author #34 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) in some models (pictures from build logs and magazines) I have seen using same color like your picture, but also i have seen lighter color my logic told me to use dark color (your suggestion actually) becouse I consider it as standing rigging in the model shop they told me that the dark color (blackish) supposed to be rope with tar in order to be more resistant, and the rest was natural (beige) but becouse of the usage and dirt was getting darker and I should use the light coloured shroud I didnt knew what to do and I have chosen the beige color, becouse if I wanted to change it, I could use dilluted black paint. still havent decided As I was making progress with rigging, it become more obvious that I have some issues with the diameter of the ropes I used actually I am using 2 styles, most common in my kit the thin one (lets call it A type), and the second type the one I made with ropewalk using 3 ropes of type A But I think that the rope I used for ratlines should have benn thinner Edited March 12, 2013 by kostas_gr Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98
kostas_gr Posted March 12, 2013 Author #35 Posted March 12, 2013 also nice picture for the rigging of anchor, any chance you have more pics for anchors?

Garward Posted March 12, 2013 #36 Posted March 12, 2013 The choice of color of ropes remains for you: you can leave as already made, and you can to make light ropes already established in a place a little more darkly (for example, having impregnated them with strong tea or the average fortress of coffee or simply brown dye - but before to paint, surely try on a slice of a thread what color will turn out).

I will wait till all rigging and sails are done, and I will make a test, probably create a couple of "false" dead-eyes on the channels and paint them and see how it will look. But I have already decided that in the next model (san fransisco or wasa) I will definatelly use same black color and probaby pay more attention for the dimensions of ropes (diameter) Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98

kostas_gr Posted March 20, 2013 Author #50 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) figure head my attempt to curve the figure-head, I have used basice tools nothing fancy. The wood I have choosen is , actually dry root from a tree (a root from a dead tree that was complete dry), becouse it looked that it was easier to curve. I wanted to make the crown on the head too, but becouse of miscalculations there was not enough wood to curve as a true greek never liked royality stuff and symbols........

kostas_gr Posted March 26, 2013 Author #54 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) A bad accident ....a shroud that was too long, spread out where it shouldnt, I stepped on it managed to save the ship (before falling down) but fore upper mast broke I was so pissed off that i wanted to cut off almost all foremast rigging and redo it, but i was too hothead to think clearly and let it pass for a couple of days and think out an alternative i tried to soften the cyanoacrilic that shrouds were glued on the mast using alchool, and keep pressing on them till they get apart from the mast, once done iI have removed the broken part and replaced it with a new one. I had to restrain shrouds a bit, but the outcome was average and I have decided to leave it as it is and not to remake the rigging of fore mast from scratch.
