I went to Home Depot and bought the materials.
I immediately made the foremast and mizzenmast.
The picture shows a set of foremast.

This image shows a set of mizzen masts.

The foremast, mainmast, and mizzenmast were assembled and temporarily assembled to the hull.

I'm not sure about the musts in the film, and I'm making all of them up as I go along.
I think they are mostly good.
I also need to make a split-throat top mast.
I'm thinking of increasing the amount of information on each mast.

Good morning. The main mast has a serious rake to it. I’m sure you have it correct as per the movie boat. Just looks weird. Lovely work. I missed your birthday- I hope you had a day. Cheers Grant

Mr. GrantTyler,
This mast is quite serious.
I'm trying to match the concept illustration, but it's falling over too much. (Laughter) :eek:
I will fix it a bit later.:D
It's now about 8pm on the 27th, and I finally got to 68.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.Birthday-Cake

I made a handrail on the platform part of the split-throat topmast. The concept illustration was quite wide, and the drawing was made that way, but the CG of the movie is not so wide. The CG of the movie is not so wide, so I made the handrail to match the CG.

The Silent Mary is shown in its current form in the image above.
The main mast had fallen too far back, so it was reworked and angled to the front.
It was knocked down to match the concept illustration, but it looks too collapsed when actually built.
As expected, the same angle as the mizzen mast is not right, so I fixed it.
Sorry to the person who drew the concept illustration.

I looked at the set for the photo shoot.
The main mast and mizzen mast appear to be at the same angle, but if you look closely, the main mast looks a little more raised ...... It could just be my optical illusion.
Let's call it good that I fixed it because they look similar.

This craft is to paint the platform of the jib boom and install the dead eye.

SilentMary-40-19.jpg
Paint the platform in German gray.
Wrap 0.5 mm brass wire around a 4 mm diameter dead eye and dye it black.
Wrap that brass wire around a brass nail attached to the end of the jib boom and shape it. It was fiddly because the thing is so small.

Can you see the dead eye and brass wire from the left and right?

SilentMary-40-20.jpg
This is the location of the deadeye as seen from above.
You can tell which is the deadeye.

SilentMary-40-21.jpg
The dead eye brass wire is fixed in this position.

■ Making a yard ■
SilentMary-40-22.jpg
Glue four 4mm square rods together and insert 1mm brass wire inside.
Shave each corner of the four 4mm square bars so that the brass wire can fit inside.
Glue A and B, then C and D.

SilentMary-40-23.jpg
Prepare 1 mm brass wire to be placed inside.

SilentMary-40-24.jpg
Glued with 1mm brass wire inside.

SilentMary-40-25.jpg
Four 4mm square bars are glued together with brass wire so that an 8mm square bar can be made.

SilentMary-40-26.jpg
An 8mm square bar is placed on a special jig and the corners are planed to form an octagonal shape.

SilentMary-40-27.jpg
Notice the arrows.
They are roughly octagonal.

SilentMary-40-28.jpg
From A to B, and from C to D, the octagonal shape is left as it is, and it is thinned by planing.

SilentMary-40-29.jpg
A is a sling cleat.
The center portion of the yard has an octagonal cross section and a round cross section up to the cleat portion of the yard.
The cleat portion of the yard remains octagonal and the cross section from the cleat portion to the outer yard arm is round.
The shape of the yard is made at my own discretion and prejudice, so it has no material value.
You don't have to imitate it, but if you do, do so at your own risk.:p

Each mast yard could be processed.
SilentMary-40-30.jpg
These are the foremast yards.
From top to bottom, Fore Lower Yard, Fore Top Yard, and Fore Togern Yard.

SilentMary-40-31.jpg
These are the main mast yards.
From top to bottom: main lower yard, main top yard, and main togern yard.

SilentMary-40-32.jpg
These are the mizzen mast yards.
From top to bottom: cross jack yards, mizzen top yards, mizzen togern yards, and latine yards.

SilentMary-40-33.jpg
It is a yard that attaches to the bowsprit and split-throat topmast.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SilentMary-40-34.jpg
The bowsprit is still temporarily assembled to the hull, so it is removed and the standin rigging of the split-thrust topmast shrouds is done.
This is the process of attaching the deadeye.

SilentMary-40-35.jpg
The shroud now has a deadeye.

SilentMary-40-36.jpg
A lanyard connects the platform side to the deadeye.
This is the starboard side.

SilentMary-40-37.jpg
This is the port side.

SilentMary-40-38.jpg
Once the shroud is finished, set a piece of paper with a guideline drawn on the back and tie the ratlines together with a club hitch.
It's been so long since I've had a ratline that I forgot how to tie a club hitch. I looked it up in a rigging book.

Left and right ratlines.

Hello dockattner.
Thank you for taking a look at my poor craft.Ship-1
I am referring to the article about the construction of the Vasa completed by dockattner. That article is the driving force for my crafting.Thumbsup
I appreciate dockattner's very informative article. :)
