Hi Steve,

I guess it is reef knot...if I did it correct... :)

Fine work there. On a more contemporary ship, one end of the roband would go around the yard or jack stay twice before being tied.

That is just some superb work you have done. Simply awesome.....Cheers Mark

GMrrison,

Thanks for comments and attention!...You are right...and actually my knots became a little bit out of scale due to too thick thread I used...so I decided to simplify procedure and made it...how to say...schematic only...? 

Thanks!

Kirill

Thanks Mark,Steve!, I try do my best.... :) ...meanwhile continue with main mast rigging...

thanks for your attention !

I wonder why jackstay eyebolts are represented on these spars?

You are doing a fantastic job.....Really.

Rob

Good day Rob,

Thank You very much for Your comments, but which eyebolts You mean?... coud You" point "it on the foto? may be I did smth wrong?...

I confess I don't see jackstay eyebolts in the pictures either - though I can't claim to have looked at every shot.

Jackstays, of course, would be completely out of place on a ship of this period. I'm sure Kiril knows that perfectly well.

jtilley , thanks for your remark... may be it were eye bolts for the gaskets? , which I try to demonstrate on the main yards ... but not jackstay for sure... so, gasket's eyebolts  - I did - too big 

Meanwhile continue with sails for main mast and decided to install fore mast braces

That is some very impressive work.

I'm sorry but some models will attempt to mimic these eye bolts on the top leading edge of the spar.  I assumed these are what are present on your spars that you secured the sail lashing by.

Rob

Those are anchors for the sailors to attach their fall protection gear to.

i was looking over the photos I took the other day of the galleon replica from San Diego.

The robands look precisely as Kiril has modeled them, a single go round tied together on top with a knot. Otherwise the spar is as smooth as can be.

That's incredible. Must have too a lot of prior planning to get all that right. Great job!

Good day,

Dear friends,

if I understood correctly - we are talking abt staples on the main spar... if yes, this I did for gaskets securing...unfortunately I made them a little bit out of scale...so they looks too big, need to be more miniature in size ...

regarding protection gear...as I could understand,in those days,there were no protection gear ,such a foot ropes for example,at least non of contemporary drwngs show them...looks like sailors working with sails like this

here ,on the foto, Fore mast main spar completed with gaskets attached

I apologize, it was a joke.

Same me, sorry, I didn't catch...

unfortunately my "english", looks like  is not not suitable for fine joke ,may for very SIMPLE one only , but I like it!(now I can imagine ,how I can do the same in russian)... but now I can see --- realy fun!

Thanks!!!

Good day Everybody,

Finaly completed Fore mast rigging!!! 

3 more remain !

Just keeps getting beter and better each time I check in.....Cheers mark

Hello Kirill,

I just came across this build of yours. You are doing incredible work. Now that I have found your build, I will be following along.

Steve

Krill,

You are a most talented artist in this craft! I am humbled to view your work and am astounded at your skill in working with your kit.

The way you do slack rigging is really impressive.

Good day,

Dear friends,

Thank all of you very much ! for those very positive and realy supporting commnets and your attention to this project... it gives me very good " push" to continue my job with this model ...

now I'm busy with main mast sails installation, but first need to make some preliminary arrangements with mizzen stay... later on it will be quitre difficult to make mizzen stay dead eye connection,when Main mast sails will be at place...

appearence of mizzen stay and main stay I taken from this contemporary pictures...

Good day Everybody,

continue with preliminary arrangement mizzen stay ... before will start with Main mast sails rigging...

" target="">

Hmmm;

   I don't know about the correctness of your knots and lines , But , Now you know why I like the rare and interesting Imaii ships . Back around the 80s I did three for a friend and he was ecstatic !     T.B.

 Good day,

Dear friends, thank all of you for your attention and warm  :)))

Meanwhile continue with main sails rigging...while rigging there was an issue how to secure leech lines bridles to the sail sides...seems to me there are to different ways exist -fixed with bowlines knot or leave them moveable...I choose the first one...but I think I still did it a little bit wrong due to I didn't arrange cringles for leech lines bridles but made holes insted of :((( frankly speeking I forgot to make them in time...

Duyfken replika has them moveable, Half Moon - secured by knots as I could see on the fotoes...

" target="">

Duyfken replika , moveable bridles

Half Moon - fixed

continue :

*try to make bowline knot...

*painted Fore and Main bonets  a little bit...made them more dark

and spent rest of the day in attempts to install main sail... finaly did approx 70% :) , tomorrow will continue with making rest of the main sail rigging...

Very impressive, Kirill!

Your attention to detail with rigging is mindblowing :)
