Schooner Albatross from Constructo [COMPLETED BUILD]

Details of the rigging of the forearm braces. Beginning of the running rigging on the eye in the deck on each side of the mainmast.20210726_211621.jpg

Further, through the two-pulley block on the mast, the ropes diverge and follow to the block on the forehand

The routing of this cable, as well as the entire rigging, does not correspond to the set. In the set, the rigging is VERY simplified.
 
At the moment, the project for the construction of the schooner "Albatross" has been completed. It took me 5 months to complete this construction. I tried to make this model a little better than it is presented in the set. Although the customer and I agreed on the assembly out of the box, but I could not resist reworking. And so I changed: I completely altered the keel frame and frames, the stem, keel, sternpost and rudder blade were replaced with a pear. The rig in the box was all crooked, so I replaced it too. Geeks and gaffs made of black hornbeam. Made some design improvements. Changed the machine tools (slightly modified them). Completely replaced the rigging and blocks out of the box (they went out of the box to the bin). I completely changed the wiring diagram of the rigging. The set contains a very simplified diagram.
And what is left of the kit here? Hmm ... need to think. How well I was able to judge your colleagues in ship modeling. I can say one thing: I am happy with the result. And as the customer is SATISFIED, words are not conveyed.20210801_174352-1.jpg20210801_174327-1.jpg20210801_174648-1.jpg
 
Your rigging is a model of accuracy and cleanliness! Anybody wishing to build this model, has a great example to follow! Well done Alexander. And as far as the pictures go - of course we do not mind. We would be very pleased if you could share your model in the Completed Gallery Section.
