I examined the rattles (rudder wheel) of the Silent Mary.
he rudder wheel appears to have 12 spokes.
The rudder wheel is doubled.
The spokes seem to be stuck directly into the drum section where the rope is wrapped around.
It's pretty hard to make this thing.
I drew a drawing of a rat (rudder wheel). It is still a very crude drawing.
I doubt if I can make it like this drawing, but I'll have to give it a try.
By the way, I checked out Capstan. It was just a glimpse at a ghost ship.
I'll just have to make it up as I go along.
I also drew a drawing of the capstan. The size and shape are not very precise.
As long as I am satisfied with it, I am OK with it.
************************************************************************************************
Begin crafting the rat (rudder wheel).
Cut a piece of 0.2mm thick suture wood 1.5mm wide.
To match the inner diameter of the outer ring, we adjusted it by wrapping paper around it. The 1.5-mm wide pieces of thinly sliced suture wood are glued together with wood glue to make the outer ring of the rudder wheel.
The inner ring is also made.
Set the drum part of the rat (rudder wheel) and the double rings, and secure them with thinly shaved toothpicks.
It is a little troublesome because there are 12 spokes on the rat (rudder wheel).
I managed to make one of the rats (rudder wheel). As in the movie, the wheel is double.
Other parts were also made.
The wooden frame and grating that will serve as the foundation, and the front and rear pillars that support the rudder wheel. In the sailing ship in the movie "Pirate of the Caribbean," the rudder wheel is usually set on a wooden frame and grating as a foundation, and the rudder wheel is fixed to it. Ropes are threaded through the holes in the grating.
The other side of the rat (rudder wheel) is also assembled with 12 spokes.
After the spokes are assembled, they are cut, shaped, and temporarily assembled.
This is a temporary assembly of a rat (rudder wheel). I placed a 10 yen coin for size comparison.
It is the first time for me to make a double-wheeled rat (rudder wheel), so it is quite tough to make.
By the way, the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman's rats were made with 10 spokes.
Now, this is also painted in German gray.
After the German gray is painted, the fading is represented.
The same is taken again.
Temporary assembly on the hull. I placed it at the position of the rat (rudder wheel).
Rope is also set.
Compare with scenes from the movie: ......
I think it's pretty good.
It's self-satisfying.
