Thanks guys, I dont know about belonging in that thread, theres some mighty impressive modeling there!
Progress feels slow when working on the rig, hours pass with little to show, but thats how it goes when working from reference images rather than the plan. Deadeyes are in, another pinrail and ive started adding details to the booms, also added the inner jib boom, which rotates on a bracket well off the sails rotation, should be interesting to get it to work correctly in vsng..

Better and better!
Even without plans, you seem to have some decent references images. When I made my catamaran, even the plans I had were not that good and no good references for the rigging.
Excellent work!

Thanks yes working on an existing vessel is always handy, especially a popular 100+ year old original! what becomes tricky is she has undergone so many changes to just about everything, the deck, fittings, rig to an engine fitted! im trying to show her as she was built for the day she was launched
Single and Twin mainsheet system complete :

Slowly but surely the rig takes shape, current furled sail is just a place marker, im going to do some cloth simulation on that as soon as the sails are drawn
-
The detail of this just blows me away.

Speechless! I can not believe my eyes

You are doing this grand old lady proud mate. Magic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lettie_G._Howard

Remember the rebuilding of the Tally Ho!
(half size of the Lettie G. Howard

Bloody brilliant.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments! Yes I need to catch up on Tally Ho, have seen them all except for the last 3 or 4 months!
Got much done today, foremast running rig is just about done, the bowsprit lines added, gaskets added, stack removed ( since she has no engine ) Temp dory`s in place and all kinds of fittings and details added
Sorry about the double post, site was giving me a hard time for some reason with errors, so I had to split it...

That there Bosun must be a stickler, never seen sails furled so neatly, extra tot of rum or standard grog?
A sight for sore eyes.
-
Aye you knows how these schooner captains can be!
Completed the dory this evening, still need to cover them in tarp and tie them down, add their sailing gear and fittings, they will be separate functioning vessels in game
-
This thread is a proper education, thank you.
-
Always glad to serve!
Spent some time messing about with materials, managed to find a quick way to correct the wood grain in the UV mapping so that it follows the bend as naturally would
-
This whole thing is just unbelievable!
