I think he means the ones that came with kit. They are not blocks but instead sound like bullseyes but made out of wood. Used for leading rigging through them and not actual blocks.

The Gokstad Ship 900 AD by Siggi52 - 1:50
Chuck replied to Siggi52's topic in - Subjects built Up to and including 1500 AD
Lovely model. -
That looks excellent. I have found that using some 90% alcohol on a paint brush helps remove some stain and lighten up some areas. chuck

kit review Kit Review - HMS ENTERPRIZE (1774) by CAF MODELS
Chuck replied to kljang's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
One is manufactured by a legit Chinese mfg (CAF). CAF does not pirate or copy designs for their kits. The other mfg distributed through DD in Canada is ModelShipDockyard. Also a Chinese company. MSD and DD sell and pirate intellectual property and often steal the work of other mfg’s for profit. They are on our banned list of mfg’s. So its an easy choice. Chuck -
Nicely done!!!
-
I am busy until Mid May but maybe I will create some new designs to offer along with those initially offered. And try to breath some new life into this group on beginner carving...
-
They are all here.... Its another tab above called "Tutorials and discussions for the carving group" https://modelshipworld.com/forum/85-tutorials-and-discussion-for-the-carving-group/ And by the way.....Carving blanks are actually still available in the Syren store. Chuck

Looking good!!!

Syren does in fact have cleats and other fittings...Many suppliers do. Chuck

I wouldnt recommend doing that. Best to start with the wales as they establish the run of planking above and below them. If you start with the ports it is all to easy to establish the incorrect run of planks. Once the wales are established, Line off the hull below it....or plank the hull above it and between the ports. But lining off is the best practice regardless. See the many tutorials posted on this site. Chuck

But maybe you will get one of the 8 kits here on MSW. I will be making them available after the CT show. All proceeds going to the NRG/MSW They will be priced to sell quickly....😉

Roter Löwe 1597 by Ondras71
Chuck replied to Ondras71's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Really nice and precise craftsmanship. Those blocks are fantastic. -
What a nice Solution. It really looks like it should based on the contemporary model. Very nice construction design. chuck

This is the way I would go...

Just finished up the limited edition kit for the Joint Clubs show. I will be giving away 8 of the 25 kits in this limited run at the show. They will be raffled off with the tickets you get at the show in your welcome packet. I will make several more of this small run available here after the show in April. The figure is included along with a ship's cat which has yet to be added. It makes for a quick project and a nice desk-top display. So sign up for the show if you are able to attend.

Lovely!!

Beautiful work. Really nice progress.

The testing process was long and hard before I got the results I liked. I just spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars testing different resins and mixing them together. Post print and pre print dye added....more testing etc. Hundreds of man hours and print tests. Very frustrating along the way. Many many failures. And of course the best results were from the most ridiculously expensive resin. With so many new people starting to sell 3d printed blocks and other aftermarket products, my final proprietary blend of herbs and spices will remain a Syren Secret Formula. At least for now. Sorry and I hope you understand. I have been burned before. Chuck
-
Wonderful start. Glad you could join us.
-
Thank You... This is a rack block....although a smaller one on the Speedwell. See it just behind the gammoning. On the bowsprit.
-
Some Syren 3d printed rack blocks and shoe blocks....a special project but I may make these available.

I use any brand but always the medium viscosity. I know many hate…hate….CA glue for rigging. But it works for me and you use very little as you wipe it off right away. But you could use PVA as well. But it will take longer to dry and is problematic with synthetic polyester rope. Chuck
