Footropes anyone?

Posted by Big Jake on Sunday, November 23, 2008 6:30 AM

I think the modeler put a we bit too much play in the footropes, as well as everything else. I suppose that somewhere the modeler is being held in high regard for his rigging ability.

AND whats with the forestay?

That model looks like one of those knocked up for sale in the Far East, to undiscerning buyers; no doubt it is accurate in every respect and a true scale model

I saw one of Victory on e-bay recently, the claims were truly amazing, but the model was appalling.

My thoughts exactly. Not only the fore stay, but the main, and mizzen. I go with the theory that this is a commercial pre-built, made for "interior decoration", and not as a scale model.

There is, of course, the possibility that the "cloud" that's "flying", came from incinerating certain "herbal ingrediants", in a receptacle appropriate for the incineration.
