Thanks Bob. Because I'm modifying each pulley block and using actual Bullseyes, deadeyes hearts etc it can take me a few hours to rig just a couple of lines. That can make for a pretty boring build to follow.Very clean line work Tim.
Thanks Steve. It's my 3rd go around with this kit. This is farther then I've gotten with the previous attempts. I'm realizing that whoever drew up the kit's rigging plan wasn't to sure where the lines went either...lol.What a trip! Bringing this old kit to life is awesome, excellent work!
You did that well, almost to well...like your really the guy that writes thier instructions .Can you imagine the mess Trumpeter might have made of such instructions in translation?
"You tree-trunk long thingies in holes in floor. Put on wire spider-web rope thread to hold tree trunk up. Stick big blankie bed cloth to tree branch. Do best work boat play model, Yankee Plick!"
Holy Crap, on all of them? Looks well worth the effort. Looks great.Third pic is how I'm modifying the kit's pulley blocks. I cut off the moulded on strop rings and file notches in the corners to catch the line.
Haven't timed myself but it takes about 5 minutes to do a block.Holy Crap, on all of them? Looks well worth the effort. Looks great.
Great Gobs of Goose Poop! 5 minutes for EVERY block? Are there 100 blocks? Nevermind about boring ME!Haven't timed myself but it takes about 5 minutes to do a block.
Right!As for rigging being exact or not,..................what's the old saying? Fake it till ya make it, HA! Looks great to me!
Glad your following along Rhino!Great Gobs of Goose Poop! 5 minutes for EVERY block? Are there 100 blocks? Nevermind about boring ME!
I am enthralled by this whole build AND I'm taking notes!
Cool There was a lot of interest to restore the ship back to it's former glory in the 1920's. The restoration began in 1927 I think.View attachment 154808
