Silent Mary by Mellpapa

SilentMary-44-36.jpg
This image shows the reef points attached to each sail, with the sail being attached to the main lower yard.

SilentMary-44-37.jpg
Sails have been attached to all yards.
This was meticulous work, so it took time.
Starting tomorrow, we will prepare to attach the yards to each mast. This preparation is also detailed work, so it will likely take time.

Attach pulleys to each end of the sails.
This is another fiddly and tedious job, but these pulleys are essential for the running rigging.
Let's just buckle down and get them attached!!
Some sails don't need pulleys attached.
I think the name was... a split topsail, maybe!?

SilentMary-44-39.jpg
I installed the split topsail and yard set.
The rigging is incredibly complicated to handle.

SilentMary-44-40.jpg
The split top-sail and yard rigging terminate at the red arrow point.

SilentMary-44-41.jpg
I also installed the lateen sail.
I made the rigging here the same as the Black Pearl (since the Silent Mary's rigging in this area wasn't clearly shown in the movie...). Speechless
The red arrow section hasn't been processed yet, but this will also be made into the same rigging as the Black Pearl.

The rigging arrangement at the red arrow section is the same as that of the Black Pearl.:D

That's all for today. :)

Mellpapa,
I always enjoy your updates, and am amazed at the detailed work you have created with only a movie for a resource. Stunning work!

Namabiiru, hello
Thank you for always encouraging me.
My Silent Mary has quite a few mistakes, but I'm just going to keep working on it without worrying about them.
Sometimes I've had to imagine parts I didn't understand, and then later figured things out.
As long as I enjoy it, that's good enough, right?!
I'll keep working hard to make it a piece I can be satisfied with. ;)

Hi Mellpapa, great work, congratulations. Frank
 
Melpappa, your sail work is fantastic. All your earrings, cringles and clews are perfect! Really well done.

I believe it was "Sprit topsail" since it was bent to the sprit topmast on the bowsprit.

RussF, hello
My knowledge of sailing ship models comes solely from reading Japanese books that explain them.
Even if those books contain errors in their explanations, I wouldn't know.Speechless
So I only know the names of each part of a sailing ship as they're explained in those books.
For example, they refer to the spar rib as a “bib.”:eek:
Seeing other people's work on S.O.S. is truly educational.
Thank you! :D

You certainly wouldn't know that to look at your work. Very detailed and life-like. Oh, and sorry about misspelling your screen name. :oops:

Hey, RussF-san
My screen name gets misspelled a lot. ;)
Examples of how it gets messed up in Japan:
malpapa・meiipapa・mellpepa・molpapa and so on.:eek:
Probably just typos, so I don't mind at all.:D
 
SilentMary-44-44.jpg
I ran out of single pulleys, so I made about 60 more. (Red arrow) Took half a day.
They disappear fast when you attach them to yards and sails.

I made about 88 before, but after assigning them to where they're needed, I still didn't have enough.
If these aren't enough, I'll just make more!

The red oval section of the Latin sail on the filming set... so that's how it's constructed.
It's probably rigging needed for folding the sail, but it's unclear which belay pin it connects to.

SilentMary-44-45.jpg
Since I didn't know which belay pin it was connected to, I just hooked it up to a random one on either side.
It's not like it has any historical value or anything.
