Building the Model Shipways Sultana. Is there a rigging belaying chart for this schooner kit?
 
I've been looking over my plans, I have an old "yellow box" version which I expect to start this May and there is no belaying chart. I bought the book, "Schooner Sultana, building a Chesapeake Legacy" expecting it would provide a lot of detail. However, it does not offer much detail for the model builder. I also have a copy of "Rigging Period Ship Models' by Petersson which does provide some representative/helpful information. There are sets of Belaying plans chart, but not applicable to Sultana.
 
Thank you. I also have "Rigging Period Ship Models' by Petersson. My solid hull "Sultana" was in the newer box, but did not come with templates or belaying plan, so maybe the kit was just incomplete.

It is time to start a new build; actually it is time to continue with existing build i started some time ago while still residing in my rented apartment. No room to do much but eager to get back to favorite hobby, i opened a box and started building it. Unfortunately at some point i realized...

I reviewed the plans again in detail (3 sheets) and noted they only show a total of four belaying pins on the rails. Also, I checked a few of my old Model Shipways catalogs, back to 1971, they list all the parts included in each kit, and noted the kit included 18 belaying pins. However, my kit, 1980? does not include any belaying pins, its otherwise complete. So, at this point, and not to over think things, in the absence of finding additional documentation I'm going to follow the sheet plans.
 
Yes, I did go to Model Shipways, but did not get a plan, so maybe there isn't one. Anyway, with all the completed builds on this site, I will be able to finish the rigging.

I think it was Dave from The Lumber Yard did a thread several months ago on making a POB version from scratch. I thought it was very interesting. :) You might look it up.

Thanks Corsair, these are much more detailed than the original set I have. I'll order a set from Model Expo.

This book is well illustrated but keep in mind it is based on a single contemporary model of a 38 gun British ship so not necessarily useful for other ships, nations, periods, etc.
