VOC ship The Prins Willem (scale 1:75) Year 1651

Stefan, good afternoon.
Great job! It seemed to me that the deadeyes on the wall of the shrouds were the same diameter as those below on the shrouds. They should be a little smaller. Therefore, the wall-shroud turnbuckles look thin in the large holes of the deadeyes

Thanks Alexander, they look the same, but they are smaller then they on the shrouds below. The deadeyes overall are chosen to big, they should all be a little smaller due to the scale. The ropes are in perfect scale, the deadeyes wheren't my choice. These where already attached to the ship when I started to finish the build from Jan (who gave this project to me to finish)

Welcome back Folks on my build log of the Prins Willem. Due to a temporally handicap on my hands I'm forced to search some other work I can achieve. Let me tell you I can work on the rigging of the Prins Willem a few hours a day.

I'm finished the topmast shrouds on the main. 1 side needed to be done and it was a long time ago I finished the other side. Now both sides are done. Here a few pictures of the work. I use rope that I 'm making on my rope walk from Serafill Lock-yarn. 120/2 The ratlines have a thickness of max 0,2 mm. in diameter.

The next thing I'm planning are the main topmast backstay and the topmast stay, Also I have to make a few seizing trucks on the shrouds and shrouds cleats to belay the ropes of the running rigging and side tackles. I'll finish this first before I go a step further on the fore mast.
So stay tuned.

@Herman I got a picture for you of the planking on the bow below the wales.

Good looking ratlines, Stephan. Good to see you can do ‘something’.
Regard, Peter

Hi Steef66, I ask, are the diameters of these rigging by design ?I noticed that the various rigging are not garnished ( if I see correctly). Thanks for Your feedback.Frank

Sorry Frank, I tried to understand your words that you write. But I think it is a wrong translation in English. Try DeepL.com to translate. Maybe that makes more sence, or write in Italian, I try to translate.
 
Steef66 said:
Grazie ragazzi, bellissimi complimenti.



Scusa Frank, ho cercato di capire le parole che scrivi. Ma penso che sia una traduzione sbagliata in inglese. Prova DeepL.com per tradurre. Forse ha più senso, oppure scrivere in italiano, provo a tradurre.

Ciao Steef66, chiedo, i diametri di queste sartie sono di progettazione? Ho notato che le varie sartie non sono munite di guarnitura zona rambazza (se vedo bene). Grazie per il tuo feedback.Frank

Don't know what you mean with this word. Maybe someone else can translate.
The shrouds are about 1 mm. in diameter I think. Could be more or less. Have to look up in my notes.
The ratlines are about 0,185 mm. in diameter.
Everything is done correct in Dutch 1650 style.

If you mean with guarnitura zona rambazza if the shrouds need to be served. In 1650 shrouds are not served.

Good morning Steef66, I am sorry that we do not understand each other ( translation ) but, there are anomalies in my opinion, Thank you always for your reply.Frank

Well, in that case I hope you will follow your decision you made in Archjofo's log (here) in my log too. Because I did a lot of study too how these Dutch ships where rigged. And I can tell you it was done in this way. We (Archjofo and me) are still waiting of a sample of how it should be done correctly by you.

Hello, Francesco. I think the conversation is lost in translation. I don't believe you, or anyone have to prove anything. We are sharing our knowledge and learn from others.

Thanks my friend for your visit and your kind words. I appreciate them. Hope I can give soon another update. In this moment I try to make tiny cleats from castello wood. When done I'll show how I did it.
