gasser59 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Those colors really pop. And now the fun part, the rigging. Shiver me timbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2whl Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Chris.....no one's as fast as Johnny Southside!....LOL Ray.....R 'ye be going to DSC? John and Brad.....I'm happy with the different shades of brown, also The shrouds are in two sections.....lining up the top and bottom attach points and getting the centers glued at the right angles has caused a bit of pirate cursing. One of the parts broken was the pin for the top part of the mast. I ended up drilling both ways and inserting a piece of brass in for strenght. I mocked up the other masts and shrouds for a teaser look. Going to DSC this week-end, so no modeling until Monday. 864 Edited April 9, 2015 by 2whl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) You're bringing back memories of when I built something similar to this when I was a kid. I think it was the U.S.S. Constitution. What's the rigging gonna be like for this great build Paul? Good save on the display case glass!! That acrylic stuff aint cheap!

Roadrunner Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I just spotted the pink sub in the background. What's the story with that? Operation Petticoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Any Updates on this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2whl Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 John....Thanks...hopefully I won't have to kick too many butts....LOL Joe...Thanks for looking in. The rigging is what's slowing me down right now. I've been studying the rigging diagrams to make sure I understand where all of the lines go to. There are 11 sails and each one has 5 to 8 lines on it. So there's going to be rigging lines going all over the ship. I'm trying to determine if I want to follow the instructions or put the sails on in a different order. And yes, the save on the case was fortunate. I had ordered it a little too tall, so it worked out when the bottom edge was cut. Kevin....Sharp eyes !! It Is supposed to be the sub in Operation Petticoat. I did a 'pink' build on another forum several years ago. You where supposed to build a model of any subject as long as it was pink. Chris....Not much of an update, but I have been doing stuff. When I got back from DSC, the extra rigging line I had ordered came in. I also rigged the blocks on the other two masts and installed them. Then I cleaned out a space in the TV cabinet so I could store and display the ship safely. I tacked a couple of sails on to get an idea what it will look like. 1190 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Paul, I'm jazzed to see more progress. That rigging line looks about right for parachute cords on a drag car. As far as where each one goes, I would look at it as trying to get a firing order correct. You just have to do it eleven times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 OK Paul, whatever happened to this build? I know its too big to move to the back of the workbench. Do tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpiguy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ordered the original version of this with the Black Pearl figurehead, on it's way from Russia as we speak. Can't wait to dig into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
