Hi,

Thank you for your visits, comments and likes.

 

I decided to fix some blocks to the bowsprit mast.

I have to smulate rope wrapping. With a 4 mm block it's to difficult to bind a block to the mast as in the real ship...

 

I post some photos showing how I try something... :D

 

For the first block it' s done with success...

I have wrapped 5 times

 

and I have removed the two frontmost thootpicks and pulled gently at two end (blue arrows)

 

and two rings (red rings); for the mast (at the left) - for the block (at the right)

First, the ring for the mast have to be tightened around the mast...

I have pulled the end (the blue arrow) to tighten the rope around the mast (the red arrow).

And to tighten the rope around the block, I have pulled the end (the blue arrow).

Then I made a knot just near the mast.

 

Done...

Many thanks, Mike and Mike (mikiek),

and who have liked the posts...

 

Now I need to repeat all the way for many blocks that have to be tied with a rope of 0,5 mm.

For the blocks that have to be tied with a rope thicker than 0,5 mm. I must follow the conventional way.

Ferit,

 

Good work. Yes these home made bits when there are so many added to a project end up making a huge difference indeed. Well done.

By the way also really like the staining details on your deck and railings. Very realistic looking.

 

Regards,

Michael

Thank you Michael, Mike and who liked...

A small update.

I do not know if I've done the right thing about the ropes of the anchors but there isn't any guide on the plans, in fact there isn't any rope in this area... It's my decision, right or wrong... :-/WP_20180303_08_14_36_Pro_LI.thumb.jpg.492b4b1622b6c8a547e568497042d299.jpg

Grating is now on its own place...

And there are somewhere some few blocks fixed on the masts...

Thank you OC...

 

Two ropes lifting the fore yard are ended with a violin block above this cut off. This violin block is fixed to the knight placed under the forecastle deck by a rope passing through that small cut out.

During two months I have redone some works.

I have changed the 3 mouses of the main, fore and mizzen masts which I had done many years ago. I have done the mouses of the main topsail and fore topsail masts in the same way to provide the uniformity between mouses. I have added  a pulley system to the crowfeet of the main and the fore masts. Some shrouds have been done. For now I doesn't fixe any rope for possible future adjustment.

 

Best Regards…
