Beautifully done! Top quality build and ideas. 

Thank you, Vivian

Main topmast shrouds and back stays So far I'm lucky that all lines goes straight to the belaing points but it was really close!............... Mixing kit with plans was not ideal 

Fore topmast stay and staysail stay. 

Very, very nice model. Congrats👏

This my setup for long ropes (Czech Beer, Slipknot music, gutermann thread, and lego bricks) . This would produce around 2m long rope. But I'm confident that it could handle much longer. The only weakness is the transition of power via belt. If you need big cable (1.5mm and more) it will start slip. But this could be solved by using gears instead of belt. I chosed belt because it is easier to remove and mount back. 

That is really special 😛

Hi, as promised I created review of my LEGO rope walk and rope making process. Please excuse my english, it is not my first language. Here it is: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uvgJwNMzFE9Rf7eE7

I can do also review of the serving machine if you would be interested.

She is growing! Beautiful work. Do you paint the top black?

Hi Katsumoto, thanks for your comment. Yes the tops will be in black colour, but I still need to finish some wood work on the mizzen mast before Painting. 

Mizzen topmast:

Crosstree of the main top mast. I made a little jig to help with sending. 

Painting: can't wait to put them into place and start rigging but they need few more Black layers. 

Fore topmasts ready for paint and rigging. 

Works on the second "floor" has started. I'm preparing topmasts. 

I'm working on the shroud's pin racks. 

I also had to found bigger dust shelter as she is going to grow soon! She should fits there just fine. 

Hi Kier, 

It is very simple. I'll do few photos of the assembly..... It is Just few gears

If you are interested I can do videos how each machine works. 

Enough wood and ropes. Lets relax today. Btw this is one thousands what I have in lego. (that is the reason for Lego ropewalk a sizeing machine)
