Speechless...... I watched the movie again the other night...they wouldn't have had any problems using your model for the special effects. Barry There's no time like the present.....

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've been working very hard to do my best. I am really looking forward to getting the sails done so I can get to the fun part, detail work. I'm going to add the binnacle cabinet and a few crewman here and there along with some additional weathering and other touches. I also watched the movie again yesterday and saw a few details I missed, so I will have to work on them.
I just can't wait to get these sails done. They're driving me nuts. Just too much of the same thing. I sure am learning patience and diligence though! It will really be a lot of fun to do all the detailing and tweaking. Also, I have some really great plans for the cabinet. I am expecting it to be very expensive but then I spent a lot of money on this anyways and want a good safe way to display it. I am planning both day and moonlight lighting for it. That will be s lot of fun to design as well. I want the cabinet to be very antique looking to go with the period.

Nice work john, this must be one of the best rigging jobs I've seen on this or any other forum.Those ropes look very real, may invest in a ropewalk before my next tall ship. Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Stunning work. I have previously looked at ropewalks but thats was it. After seeing your rigging progress it is something that might be more an essential. Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Rgd Martyn I don't know what you bought, but if you look on page 3 of my log, you can see what I did. I bought the Amati Rope Walk 7390 "Simple Rope Walk" kit and used it only for the plastic gears and the wood parts to use as templates for the plastic parts and steel shafts and set screw collars I bought. With the kit and the parts I bought, it wound up costing under $100. The original is all wood with a hand crank, if it actually would hold up after making more than 3 ropes (which it didn't), you'd grow a beard because it's so slow. I run a cordless drill on mine, and it is super fast, and I have no wear on it at all. If yours is different, I'd be curious to see how it works. This particular kind I like because I don't need to use the bobbin. That's why they call it simple. And the ropes are every bit as good as the old school set-up.

There are people who make models and their are model-making craftsmen - you are at the top end of the latter John. You display great skill in your work and to my eye it looks absolutely faultless, difficult to do anything better.
Very well done indeed, one of the best ship models I've seen in many years!!
