PolarisPrime Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Really nice work Moarein. Just one problem, it seems that all of the pictures you posted prior to yesterday aren't loading. It would be a shame to no be able to review your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Tying the cables. I started from the main mast, as the rod is double with a braid and it will be easier for me to do it without interfering with the front mast. I will use the PVC blocks from the set - they are good enough in my opinion. The procedure for tying cables is slow and monotonous. The next photos will be when the fixed rigging is ready. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looking good Moarein, What are you using for thread? I was playing with my rope machine over the weekend ( first time) and was successful in making some 3 strand fine enough for the gun carriages.

europapete Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Yep, that's the one! I got the PL 3 machine, the small vertical machine and the long horizontal serving machine. On the PL3, I took off the 3 small bobbin holders and made 3 new larger ones from aluminium strip so that I can fit the larger bobbins straight from the store without having to wind the thread onto the small bobbins. Works great!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 From the looking around I did before I bought, it looked to be about the best out there. Also Alexi has great customer service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Pete in RI For the shrouds I use ready-made synthetic thread, about 0.7 mm thick The big thread is made of 3 cotton ropes, which a friend made on a rope machine. Then I pass them with a lighter so that there are no protruding hairs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Work on the main mars - in particular - the system of ropes that protect the big thread from rubbing with the lower edge of the main sail. I still can't remember what it's called ... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hiya, This is coming along very nicely. I have pretty much all I need now, just got to get some deck wood. I have started cleaning and adapting the kit hull parts and will take photo's along the way. I will start my own thread shortly once I have learned how to post photo's. ( computer idiot). You have and will continue to, teach me how to build this ship. I know this will be a multi-year project. Regards, Pete in RI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't remember what it's called) According to my book thay are called crowsfeet and very well modelled. I don't remember seeing this in Longridge's book but I suppose this was general rigging of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Aris Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 i have only seen crowsfeet on one other build,, but was interested in a conversation recently on Model Ship World, but before i say anything, it is not to upset, annoy or take away anything from your build, which has been done very nice Crows feet do not appear in any books of reference, James Lees, in his book, "The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War" states that crows feet were generally not in use after the end of the eighteenth century and they are certainly not rigged on 'Victory' as she is preserved today - supposedly as she was at Trafalgar.

Iceman 29 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 @Moarein What's the point of this post if all the Facebook photos disappear as we go along? Not cool for us. It's a real shame because it's a nice setup. Really disappointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I get around that issue by printing them out every so often. I keep them in my Victory kit box for later reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hello everyone, I'm sorry about the disappearance of the photos - it turned out quite unpleasant. I use Facebook to show them here. I will try to find time to upload all the photos again. If you can recommend me any photo site you use, I would be grateful. I will show you soon how far I have come - I was on vacation for a while. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks Moarein, that will help a lot of people. Hope you had a great vacation! Try Imgur for the photo's. Regards, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bates Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi Moarein Nice you are back from your break as for the photo's I use Flickr the downside to that only one photo at a time can be uploaded but that works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafi Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The safest still is to create your own website and place the pictures there and just link to them. So you are safe of all the providers stupidities and unreliabilitys! Great build and a pleasure to follow, Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook can change their links any time they want. Microsoft should be a little more stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 About 4000 knots ... Slow and tedious work ... I'm uploading the photos again on Facebook, for which I apologize. I will upload them via another platform soon - when I have time for this... there are lot of pictures... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
