    Hey Donnie, Thank you so much for creating this very helpful video. After 20 years of putting off buying and building my first ship model(Artesania Endeavour) I finally took the plunge and have dived in. The thing I was finding most daunting was that one day in the near future I'd have to rig it but after watching your video I no longer find it a worry but am actually looking forward to it and I don't mind admitting that I have saved this video for further reference. Thanks again mate I now feel like I have a master craftsman on my side keep up the great work.
    Cheers

    interesting, how we all arrive at our own methods of doing this...people who have never made one of these ships cannot BEGIN to imagine the incredible patience we need to do this. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge in making a video like this showing YOUR methodology.

    • @shipsofscale
      @shipsofscale  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you DrGargani for watching. This was the only way I knew of at the time. I have another way of approaching this. I guess as time and experience goes forward, we learn new ways.

    • @DrGargani
      @DrGargani 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      nothing wrong with your way, for sure, there are so many of us out there who don't really have any contact with each other, other than maybe watching a you tube video. I know there used to be local clubs for the railroad modelers to get together and compare notes. I have been running a bass fishing forum for many years where people do get to compare techniques and such. The problem I had with bass fishermen initially was that they tend to be secretive by nature, and weren't so willing to share! LOL....

    These videos are a HUGE help. I bought a Constitution cross section many years ago and got the basic hull built but I got scared away by the process of rigging shrouds and ratlines. This was pre-internet and I had no way to figure them out. I recently took up the project again as a warmup for building The Pride Of Baltimore II. I'm right at the stage where I need to do the shrouds but when I tried one last night I got all balled up. Your videos showed me things that should make it relatively easy. Thanks.

    That actually helps me a lot - I just finished my first sailing (Revolutionary War schooner) as a gift for my brother. Learning a lot of lessons that amounted to "working hard not smart..." It came out pretty well but the next one on the docket is the Brig NIAGARA (my brother and I had an ancestor in that battle), with much more intricate rigging. Your methods will help me work a little smarter in this one

    going to do some detail rigging on a Revell ship. the 400 year anniversery Mayflower. but the directions are multi-lingual and minimalist. they illustrate but make it unclear on what and where to cut the rigging line. they do give you a good supply of brown and black line. to rig a foreward mast do you cut it off when you tie it to the eyelet?(or what you call a "deadeye") or do you weave it up and back over the next one in the top(of the mast and ajacent) and go down without cutting anything. the information on my directions is unclear.

  • @macleadg
    @macleadg 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks so much for this. What is the book you mentioned? Also, what kinds of knots are best to learn for rigging up these ships? Finally, I’d love to know how to secure the shroud lines to the mast, and how to measure out the lines so as to give enough line to work with, but without wasting any. (Sorry if I have too many questions!)

    • @shipsofscale
      @shipsofscale  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello macleadg, I apologize for the long delay. Yes, there is a lot of cover here in this topic. The book might be "Historic Ship Models" by Wolfram zu Mondfeld. I can help you further if you would contact me at donnie@shipsofscale.com and also register at www.shipsofscale.com - just emial me and I can help you further with your rigging questions.

    • @macleadg
      @macleadg 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Donnie Driskell Your reply is a courtesy to me, no matter the time scale, and I appreciate it. I have many questions about rigging, and have read some books on the subject, but they tend to focus on the big picture, and on historical accuracy. I’m completely in line with such matters, but as a novice, I’m more stymied by the mechanics - getting lines to right tension, making exact duplicates of items that should look the same, tying/hiding knots, what type of knot to use in various situations, getting lines to be parallel & straight, how to use wax, how to tie multiple lines to the top of a mast neatly, the sequence of activities to follow when rigging, etc. I’ll get to the historical accuracy later, when I’ve acquired a few basic skills. Does the book you recommend teach such basic, concrete beginner-level skills?

  • @MrStoney61

    Donnie Thank You. Needed info on doing the small detail workings of ship building and you explained perfect. Quick Question, Did you ever make a Video on planking? I have watched several and have a nice way shown how to by a British guy, but I noticed your ships sides looked perfect.

    • @shipsofscale
      @shipsofscale  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi pat and thanks for the comments. No, I never did or have made a video on planking. I wish I knew more about the subject. I guess each ship is unique in its own way, but I guess the main planking techniques are about the same. I have to struggle with this part too. If you are interested, you can follow my build log on the San Felipe - I am getting ready to plank the bottom part of the hull on this one and you can follow the steps. You can find this Build Log in two places. One being my main SOS site:
      shipsofscale.com/SanFelipe/SFBL01.html
      and the other on my forums

  • @shipsofscale
    @shipsofscale  10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I really appreciate the comments. Dave, actually, I do not use any jig. As I am rigging up the Deadeye, I pull on the Shroud line and just gauge by tightness the length that I want. The Shroud line is going to give a little plus and minus in length anyway. Then when I am satisfied with the length and tightness, I will then complete the rigging of just the Deadeye only. Then I will start the process of installing the Lanyards (the line that loops through the holes of the Deadeyes.) Then I will adjust the tightness of the line to closely match the others. Accurate Deadeyes will ALL be in a single line in height and not have a bobble to them. I hope this helps. Feel free to look at the forums (shipsofscale.com/phpBB3

      Hi Allen,
      thanks for viewing this tutorial. I cannot remember where I bought those clamps (if I remember) they were from Model Expo and the link is www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=SN326SC
      they are sold as a 6 piece mini spring clamp set. It has been a very long time ago, but I am sure that this is where they came from.
      Also Micromark has them too. Their link is: www.micromark.com/2-inch-long-spring-clamps-set-of-8,7845.html

    • @shipsofscale
      @shipsofscale  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Sachin, are you referring to the individual parts and pieces or the whole ship? I usually do not sale or make any of the individual parts. However, if someone wants to buy the ship, then that would be some challenges depending on where the customer lives. This ship is large about 120 cm long and about 120 cm tall. Do you need parts and pieces made for a project?

    • @shipsofscale
      @shipsofscale  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Justin P. Johnson Justin, the book is The Encyclopedia of Ships by Tony Gibbons and Roger Ford
      ISBN: 1-57145-296-6 It is a pretty good reference to have around. It covers small snippets of info on a lot of ships (almost from the dawn of time of the Egyptians, to tall ships, steam, and up to WWI and II, and modern).
      Also, if you go to my page www.shipsofscale.com/start/start02.html you will see the collection of other books I own that have become helpful.
      Of all the books I own, Historic Ship Models by Wolfram Zu Mondfeld ISBN: 1-4027-2186-2
      is far the best for a reference in building the models.
      thank you for your interest.

    Hi Donnie, Thanks for these videos on fitting shrouds and lanyards i found them very usefully. I have a question though, i’m rigging HMS Victory 1/84 scale and I’m using beeswax on my shrouds. Trouble is the wax is leaving a white residue on black 0.8mm rigging line. Just wondering if i’m doing something wrong or way of stopping this happening?

    • @shipsofscale
      @shipsofscale  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      John Douglas you are correct. It seems the beeswax doesn’t work too well w black line. I found that out working on my San Felipe.
      One way around this is to use polyester type thread. I know that most craft stores like hobby lobby carry a fairly broad selection. Also try amazon or google search for .8 polyester cord. The polyester will not be fuzzy. My San Felipe came with all polyester cordage. The down side is that it is hard to work with.

    • @johndouglas7344
      @johndouglas7344 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @shipsofscale

      John Douglas you are kidding. Never heard of black beeswax. I have to check that out as my San Felipe has most all black rigging. Thanks for mentioning that.

    Why have you got odd windows?

      @shipsofscale  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I assume you are talking about the Gallery at the Stern ? Other than that, I am not sure what windows you are referring to. If so, this was a Kit by OcCre, and these are the parts that I had to work with. Thank you for your interest and comments. At the time, I did not have any other reference material to do otherwise.
      Kindly, Donald

      @@shipsofscale hi Donnie,I’ve recently completed De Agostini s Victory. I say completed but I am constantly altering bits and pieces which are incorrect.l would have thought the designers of these kits would have got it right seeing as the ship is sitting there in front of the world, and be the most photographed. Keep up the good work.Regards Alan.

    As a rigger of tall ships who has done this for real can I suggest you do some research into rigging or 'turning in' deadeyes? Sadly you aren't doing it correctly and would find the whole process much more easy and quicker with a more professional finish if you were to do it as per the real thing. It is painful to watch you supergluing those 'flat seizings' when there's no need to use glue at all, just do a proper flat seizing! Having your knots 'on the back' or inboard as a sailor would say means you now have shrouds with the short ends all on the forward side of the shroud which isn't correct, look at a real ship or a professionally made model and you will see the shrounds all go the same way around a deadeye, anti-clock for right hand lay or clockwise for left hand laid rope/wire. This means that the short end will be up different sides on opposite sides of the vessel, an immediate indicator as to the knowledge of the maker...
    Get rid of the glue!

      thank you jonathan for your input and advice. this was my first rigging attempt and was using “Historic Model Ships” book from Mondel as a guide. that was many years ago. just like anything, learning curves are here.Now, that a little more experience has passed over the years, I go back and I see there were many errors that I noticed I did not do correctly like the stays and shroud pairs.
