Snoepert Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share #31 Posted June 18, 2017 Progress has been slow as the detail work required on the canons took some time. I have now progressed to the rigging area.

DonnRW Posted June 18, 2017 Share #32 Posted June 18, 2017 Snoepert, I just started looking at your build of SOS, you are doing an incredible job! As I was reviewing your posts, I was struck by the fact that you constructed your rigging (shrouds/ratlines) off-ship. What are the advantages to constructing these components off-ship versus in-place? Thank you! Donn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoepert Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share #33 Posted June 18, 2017 Hi Donn, I found that installing the rat lines on the model would be a long labor intensive arm dropping exercise. So I thought by doing them on the bench I would get more control and more even rows. The task to install on the mast is a little hairy but I seem to get away with the installation. I run the cords through bees wax and run 6 lines from one to the other on the jig. When I have run about 6 cross lines I dab some glue on the knots. Thank for the interest you are showing on my work. This is a great quality kit through the magazine system. Snoepert. Quote Current Projects: Souvereign of the Seas by De Agostini Sciabecco.

Snoepert Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share #34 Posted July 7, 2017 Things are getting more challenging now and doing the rat lines etc means more work. some of the work I am trying to build off the ship but a lot of the work has to be built insitu.

Looks like doing this off ship would be easier to keep everything aligned but getting the lengths correct must be difficult. By the way, you mentioned beeswax. I have a lump of beeswax I purchased from Model Shipways when they were in Bogota, New Jersey. Miles of rigging must have gone through it and it is still going strong. The lump was about the size of a measuring cup. Snoepert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
