That's just incredible work Greg! I'm looking forward to when you populate this schooner with deck wenches.

Well, I don't know if I am going to be able to sculpt enough wenches to man this ship!!!!

Have some ratlines and gunports!

cthulhu77 · January 01, 2006, 12:54:57 PM

Brian da Basher · January 01, 2006, 01:08:42 PM

Well, if yer gonna put a bofors on the stern, you might as well replace the cannons in those gunports with torpedo tubes....arrrrrrrrrr :ar: :ar: :ar: :ar:

That is one awsome looking ship. Bloody well done Greg.

Arrrr! Thank ye matey's ! She be coming along well so far, the spars'll go up 'n then it'll be about the bell to start into the rigging...that's where the fun is !
(that would be a load of torpedoes...wow)

cthulhu77 · January 04, 2006, 08:40:17 AM

Well, I hauled out the hemostats, and started tying knots..."ah, what a tangled web we weave, when we struggle to rig a goda*n ship".

Radish · January 04, 2006, 09:33:48 AM

Nifty clamps...great rigging so far

John Howling Mouse · January 04, 2006, 12:28:59 PM

But HOW do you do the rigging?
Need close-ups.
Need step-by-step "Rigging For Dummies."
Need you to come over and do my rigging!

Brian da Basher · January 04, 2006, 06:47:06 PM

Greg, awesome work! Those hemos seem like a good idea for rigging a ship. I wish I could figure out something comperable for my biplanes. I'm still trying to bribe the spiders to rig them for me.

Ohhh...use stretched sprue or wire for bipes...much, much easier! Buy a set of small drafters calipers and use them to measure.

cthulhu77 · January 06, 2006, 07:02:41 AM

Just about done with the forestays...now onto the aft stays!

Replaced the kit plastic stay plugs with toothpicks...Arrrrr!
