Sail & Sail Model - New Kit Belle Poule 1780 - 1:72 scale by Sail and Sail
- Thread starter SAIL AND SAIL MODEL
- Start date
- Watchers 33
A fantastic build, and about the price-quality it is worth each dollar.. There a models from kits far more expensive, but lousy quality. I have some Images of Belle Poule- build by a Master builder maybe 30 years ago or more. It was/ is in a museum in France.
To Jimsky, It is an easy task to make two or even tree Ringbolt together. One method is you cut a ring and twisted a little to insert the other Ring. Then Solding the cut. Another way is to wrap around a piece of round metal, with the diameter you want, insert it in your tool bench, and now wrap metal- messing or other- fast around. Let it stand some time, a now with a metal cutting Spindel from Dremel, you cut it lengthwise. You have now a loth ot ringbolt- with a cut, an advantage when having to insert them on stay or Gaffel sails. will send you some pic later on. will have to see the Docter now
P.S. It did such a Fregat -Spanish -totally from scratch - about late 1988-1990- without all the now tools today. computer, drawing programs. I did not have even a Dremel or Proxcon (got it 1998) To make the Galleries I used wood from Maches ot tOOstick. The windwods are from from the plastic industry for flight building
