Hallo Janos,
there is a new book available, which could be very interesting for you, also for the finishing of the rigging

[QUOTE = "Uwek, post: 86023, membro: 5020"] Ho appena ricevuto un nuovo libro - e sembra molto interessante Das Erbe der Serenissima Rekonstruktion und Restaurierung eines venezianischen Linienschiffsmodells von 1794 del Dr. Karl Klaus Körner tradotto qualcosa come: L'eredità della Serenissima...shipsofscale.com
Book Link:Hi Uwe
a bit late for me in the current state of my SoS (or should I start from scratch again?) Where is this book available?
Regards:
Janos
Thanks, Kurt
Bravo on deciding to build complete masts on your Sovereign!Just about to finish the Le Soleil Royal stern model (still waiting for the delivery of a Chicago screw) and the back to Sovereign - as planned, after a year break with her. And I have to finish the Barcelona galley figure head as well (will post a few pictures soon) - I am just expecting the deliveryof the Mixtion according to Willi's advice. In the main time I was agonising whether or not building Sovereign's masts and yards any further (having the stud mast option) but I went back to the original idea and will finish her with masts and rigging (but no sails of course). So, watch this space.

Because I don't have a fraction of the skill that Janos clearly has, I chose to make the carvings for my Sovereign of the Seas using a 3D printer. I converted the diagrams from the John Mckay book into monochrome reliefs (black low, white high) and then into 3D models that I could print. Since I was planning to paint the gilt work anyway, I didn't think it would matter that they were plastic. Here are some picture. Still very much a work in progress (and a lot of mistakes over which we will draw a discrete veil!)Thanks, Guys, I appreciate your comments!
