Another Rope Walk
michael mott replied to michael mott's topic in Rope Making/Ropewalks's Rope Materials and parts resources
GTM, thanks for the link very interesting. Michael -
Toni, I am always shocked when I see how small some of the incredibly detailed ship models are. Yours is no exception I thought it was at least twice as big as it is. Beautiful workmanship. Michael

Ok here are a few pics showing the relative scale of the pilot cutter. It was tough going through the shrinking machine but I managed to stay calm. Normally I am 6 foot 2 inches here I am at 9 1/4 inches tall. Michael

Another Rope Walk
michael mott replied to michael mott's topic in Rope Making/Ropewalks's Rope Materials and parts resources
Håkan!, I edited the drawing because I missed a part. The way it works is that the circular disk rotates like a cam it is off set so as it rotates it swivels the three hooks. Michael -
Hi John, Yes the loss was painfull, I will follow along as you continue the build. Good to see you back up and running. Michael

Håkan, Thanks I am thinking I could probably build the real thing in the same amount of time. Michael

Mark Thanks. Remco, Thanks I am pretty pleased with it myself. I did a little more work on the cockpit walls today. The groove is visible for the gasket around the walls. Chiselling out the corner blocks to create the rounded corners. The shaping is in the first stage so that I can fit the floor plate. Michael

Based a simple rope walk I spotted on another forum, I modified the turns by using a disk instad of a bar with bent coat hangers this will work with bent coathangers as well. this is basically just a schematic. I will be building myself one quite soon and will add to this thread with more detailed information and descriptions. the idea is to not have to deal with meshing gears. Michael

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
