M. Yes, I saw that the previous photos disappear and I don't know why this happens. I upload them directly from my Facebook album. I will try to find time and upload them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to use a separate image host such as imgbb if you want the pictures to be permanent. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 The boats are mounted, so I start with the masts because I must pinpoint the dead eyes later. In the meantime, I made a cell with a code name - "No more dust! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moarein Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 The hammock racks are ready. The nets become quite slow - half are ready. They are about to be filled with hammocks 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Holy Crap! I am away for a while ( springtime in the sports car buisness) and see what happens?? I had better get the printer up and running so I can capture this for later. Those boats are AWESOME. Will have to do mine likewise. The hammock netting and cradles have come out great. What/where did you get the netting? it looks just right for scale. I have the full Dafi sets, so the PE frames are sorted and it also includes netting, but to be honest I have not looked closely at that yet, and knowing Daniel is a stickler for accuracy it will be right. Filling the masts with wood dowels is a great idea that I will steal with your permission. ( can you do that? lol) Anyway, this is a really educational build, thank you.

Refards, Pete in RI Of course you have my permission for the masts, as well as for everything else. If I had any secrets, I wouldn't show the whole construction process. The net that I use for hammocks is called tulle". Look in flower shops or gift wrapping shops. They have different colors - look for one that is suitable for the scale. greetings! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 The first section of hammocks is ready and installed. There are 90 pieces, don't count them :))) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdave22014 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Interesting. I was under the impression that hammocks had to be tightly rolled, so they would fit through a hoop, any failing being thrown back at the sailor with an instruction to do it again. Yours appear to be folded. Was this common on a lot of ships, or just Victory? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hammock is rolled up, then folded in half and placed on boards. This saves space in the hold, protects against shrapnel and prevents the abordage hooks from attaching. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
