I painted the footropes with diluted PVA glue. Hung these mini clips on them and hung them up to dry to form the proper hanging shapes.

I have been slowly working on things a little at a time during the short spells i feel like it enough. I started shaping and constructing the yards back in December. Got them all made and started adding all the blocks, stirrups and footropes. The blocks seemed like they took me forever to rig. I did order a bunch of them from Syren Model Co. so they would look better.

2 photos, one of the Seydlitz without her torpedo net.
The next is of Von Der Tann’s forcastle. The reason is to show the pulleys and lines that pull it the torpedo net booms. These need to be added to the kit.

only a few hundred pulleys to go ...

Every boom arm has 2 pulleys where a line runs from the base of the net along the arm up to a pully on the side of the ship, then to a pulley lashed to a rope, then to a cleat on the deck.
Then there are about 60 brailing davits where the line runs from the nets to the hull to the same set of pulleys lashed to the cleats.
The photo shows these davits.

Since thanks for all the likes and replies.
More work on the wee boaty - I painted the grey/black all over, then when dry I highlighted ontop including the top framework and a slight amount to the bottom deck section, then I glued the lower deck inplace followed by the top framework.
Just a few pics to show this stage.

Indeed, strange they may be, but they do look great!
Nice start to the boat as well. The weathering looks good and will look even better once the hull is weathered up a bit also.

Thank you wallace, its turned out better than I thought - but its one of those things with weathering - just do it in thin layers till you reach what you are happy with.

Next I decided to tackle the little side project - the pearls small shore boat, this is a kit in itself and comes all together on a fret with everything there, first off I cut both hull sides away and did a bit of tidy work inside and out to remove a couple of injection marks and to give the inside walls a bit of texture.
Next off I worked on the lower deck fitting - this was aslo worked on a bit then I applied a couple of coats of bluff paint, then after drying with the hairdryer I mixed up a watery mix of dark grey/black and just brushed it on in a rought fashion - several light coats with drying between coats, and the final result is a weathered old deck.
This is my current situation - here's the pics -

Evening all, some good progress on the pearl today - firstly I drilled out the holes in the hull, then I applied some glue and fitted the nine lid rope devices, I then turned the ship around and tied the ropes together that I had fitted before - just need trimming than painting.

Mind You............I could make the Anchors from 24c gold, old jack would want many many anchors then - probably a ship full.

Piet reacted to Old Collingwood in Black Pearl by Old Collingwood - FINISHED - 1/72 Scale
Mind you - not far to go now, after I fit those and attach the ropes/paint them, I can then move onto the anchors - im looking forward to doing the anchors.
