Salute Jerry.
Che spettacolo! Devo ancora guardarmi tutto questo lavoro fin dall'inizio con calma, ma sono rimasto affascinato dal sistema di comando delle vele. Non ci ho capito ancora niente in quell'intrigo di cavi, ma sono rimasto affascinato, troppo bello. Osservando piano piano, capirรฒ. Almeno spero. Seguirรฒ il tuo lavoro con molto piacere e curiositร . Hallo Jerry. What a show! I still have to watch all this work from the beginning calmly, but I was fascinated by the control system of the sails. I still didn't understand anything about that tangle of cables, but I was fascinated, too beautiful. By observing little by little, I will understand. At least I hope. I will follow your work with great pleasure and curiosity. ▲

Really nice guns Jerry, fantastic finish on them, can I ask what 3D printer you are using and the resin you have used.
Cheers, Pete ▲

It's tedious to say the least. The software I use is basic at best, but I'm used to it for this sort of thing.
The thing I still haven't figured out is making other things I need like figures, figureheads, and decorative stuff like the vine-work on the trail-boards of ships and stern decorations, and so on. Raised lettering is easy, you type it, extrude it to the height you want, and still it on whatever, like in the picture. Lettering carved inward is a whole other can of worms, and, unfortunately, the more common. You're breaking the surface, so you have to rebuild the surface around the lettering, which my software doesn't do for you, you have to do it manually. I'm trying to learn Blender for this sort of thing, but being an old dog is making new tricks harder to pick up. ๐ ▲

Excellent work, Jerry.
I can't imagine what it took to design those cannons!! Trev ▲

This system's pretty common I think. I know it's a similar set-up to what "SailTails" on YouTube uses in his "Bearospace" models, but I've seen it in various forms for a decade or three. I think when winch servos became available, it superseded a system that used a shuttle on a threaded rod. This was an erector-set gizmo with rods, and a motor, or two, micro-switches, etc. It would be hard to fit in a model of less than a meter. Now, I've seen micro-servos converted to winches running loops in Footies.
I went three rounds with this idea in this model years ago as my original plan see: ▲

Hi Jerry
Your winch version is very interesting, I always find it motivating to get good ideas from other model builders. ๐๐๐๐ Hobbyist greetings Michel-Claude ▲

Great Narrative as well as your Ship.
Life's setbacks, I know them well, they cost me my Elco (full sized boat). I admire your expertise with 3D printing๐๐๐ Trev ▲

The tops'l yard will be actively braced and maybe the course yard as well. I only brace the tops'l yards on Constellation. I have a different plan for Macedonian (a British frigate) but I'll explain that at a later date.

I've only capsized a boat once, when I was learning to sail they had us capsize the boat, a little Turnabout cat boat that was hardly much more than a model itself, but I was 7 so it fit.
I've worked a long list of boats, yacht deliveries, and just goofing out, and been in some hair-raising situations, but we always managed to pull it back before it went over the edge. ๐ ▲

Well done She's a beauty ๐๐๐๐๐ With building boats I'm sure most of us have had the joys LOL of watching a boat capsize on the water.

Hi Jerry
Really well made and impressive model. I am not surprised she capsized carrying all that sail and no keel. I can sympathise as my small Three Brothers of Rye fishing boat recently suffered the same fate when I tried sailing without the keel. Recovered thanks to my son in his wetsuit. The on water pictures of your model are really nostalgic and really shows off her lines. The winch arrangements should work fine and I look forward to seeing more on water pics. dave976 ▲
