In principle you are right, but sometimes there was no other way - so they had to improvise to be able to get / step up to the normal ratlines
I tend to agree with Vic here
ME TOO
Yeah, this wasn't really a critique--more of a suggestion. I'm a relative newby too. In fact, my avatar's name in some of the games I've played is Permanoob. I think you're doing great. But we all learn by doing. And then we sometimes forget. For example: I broke four strakes trying to twist and turn them on my Galilee Boat. Then Paul @dockattner mentioned using an electric heat rod, and I remembered how I had used one on the strakes for my Soleil and my Black Pearl. I slapped my head and cried, "Duh!"
morning. Now try to look back to the 1960th, when I started, with the inky information coming with the Kit. It was the time you built, went to the waste bin, and tried again. Then the big lack of tools, BUT you learned with it. I have built in my time over 30 Ships without having Lates, Fraeser, computer, drawings programs, etc. so do not cry. None of the great painters were grand painters for the first time. I have never had any mechanical tools except a few Dremels -which doing my own helping tools, could make many things including Fraeser. I never used an electric, mechanical saw. the old hack saw. I still have it, so don't cry, in year two, you will do much better
Well, it's been 12 months since I opened the box on this ship. It's been a learning experience for me. I still have a long way to go but I actually see the finish line?? Will be traveling to the U.S on vacation this march for a couple months. but maybe the finish August?? still haven't decided on the sails? but have been thinking about a case for the ship,
THE 1ST. ONE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST lASER CUT NORSKE lOVE. I HAD THEM FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, but then for other reasons I have to move, so no space and more they went to two fish restaurants in Malaga- on the seafront. without any protection, so one day I collected both. Of the two I made the last one. The last picture with a small modification
Hi Bandido
You are probably right Gilbert! The sails that is the question? I purchased sails for the ship through ZHL but looking at them the weight of the material is too heavy! I guess I could furrow them? again I am not decided?
Yes, I will have to look around. I feel they need to be a real light material and white so I can. tone them down a bit with watered down tea! and then starch them? I have never done sails before as all my other ships are just rigged. looking at your ship Vic and Gilberts looks like a lot of work!! and I haven't found much info on how To's!
You might want to contact Kurt @DARIVS ARCHITECTVS. He does a pretty good job of explaining things and doing the research.
