Hello Marc, here the way I do it. This is a 3 mm block and a 0,3 mm rope Then with a cannula I go through the rope once, and a second time from below. Then I glue it with clear nail polish. I wisk you good luck and nerves like wire ropes with your rigging.

Moin Matthias, that looks very good. But don't make the color sooo dark. More so in the direction of your last pictures. These light colors are not so good to determine, is it light green or blue. That is what I mean with turquoise. Mostly you may see how the cabins where painted at the sides of the portholes. Here the Victory SLR0512
-
Keith, the end is in sight, but I think it takes a lot of time to get there. There are at least a lot of things to do left. Ian, no with these sticks and ropes I would't play. Today the Tiger came up from the basement to see some daylight. And both Tigers now are looking how it rains outside.
-
Hello, when I look at the last likes, some like the picture of Victory's wheels more then that what I have build! It would be interesting why? I had asked before I built it so. But I say thank you to all, for the likes you gave my work. The carpenters have installed the last two deck beams and also the knees for them. The inspector from the navy board was pleased. So I think, we could go all into the summer vacations. Except the shipwright. He must look how to build in the taffrail, before the deck could be planked. And may be the carvers, who could start carving the quarter pieces. Steady and slowly we come to the end of this build.
-
Hello, I know, it's the Sliding Foot Assembly. But I don't think that that was also used in 1745. Goodwin described it too. If you find it at a model from this period, send me a picture.
-
Hello, the wheels are now installed and rigged. And that is what you later will see of it. But the shipwright is pleased and spend a beer for the crew
-
Moin Matthias, I would paint the great cabin turquoise, in a blue or green tone. That is for the rococo period a good choice. The officers cabins white and all rooms for the ordinary seamen red. Natural wood only when ist was walnut or something like this.
-
Hello, the wheels are mostly ready. The paint would't dry, so it took a lot longer then normal. I don't know why 🤔 and that is what you will see when the mast is installed. When there also the binnacle stand in front of the mast, you will see nearly nothing of the wheels So, here they are in there full beauty But there is also a last problem. The rope to the tiller. In the drawing for the 1745 establishment they draw there something what I interpret as coamings with a lid. Most models have there nothing, or just two wholes in the deck, where the rope disappeared. I would at least build it so, but not so large and with two slits for the rope. But not with these sliding foots. I think, that they where a later innovation. But may be, someone of you know there more.
-
Hello, it is done. At least the wheels are ready build. Next to build are the two supporters for the wheels.
-
Hello, because today the summer ended we had here the last weeks and it rained again the whole day, I was busy at the yard. This is cutter No. 3 and I think now it works. The handles are a little too bulky, but when they are slimmer they would break. The spooks have a Ø of 1,6 mm! Now are only 17+ spooks left
-
Hello, the first results. I think, tomorrow I have to make the cutter new. But it is an interesting material and cuts better then wood.
-
Hello, and many thanks for all the likes and nice comments. Today I will start making the spokes for the wheels. I hope, I could present the first spokes this evening.
-
Hello, the wheels. They kept me busy this week, and other things like my garden. But now they are in the raw ready. I think I must not explain the pictures and then that So, go back to start, and try again This time I made the beads before I cut the rim loose. The shipwright is pleased. In the foreground you see some of the spokes. They are from mammoth ivory. So, if you hear nothing from me the next weeks, I'm busy or I had thrown it all away. I hope not.
