Ferit

...

I have wrapped 5 times

and I have removed the two frontmost thootpicks and pulled gently at two end (blue arrows)

and two rings (red rings); for the mast (at the left) - for the block (at the right)

...

...

...

Now,

The attempt for the second block

Hi,

Thank you for your visits, comments and likes.

I decided to fix some blocks to the bowsprit mast.

I have to smulate rope wrapping. With a 4 mm block it's to difficult to bind a block to the mast as in the real ship...

I post some photos showing how I try something... 

For the first block it' s done with success...

maybe dragged onto the beach it's used to fix the poop, preventing it from swinging in waves...

Scratch hook is much better Denis.

Update...

It's crude now and not glued...

A would be toe logical choice

A was the subject...  My English language?!... (sorry)

Hi Denis, you mean -a-

Isn't it?

Hi,

Being sick of doing the same repetitive action, rigging ratlines, I want to touch the wood... Building the crow nest of the bowspirit

The kit offers a block (black area). I don't want to use the block, I think it must be build in two parts. But I don't know which solution is correct.

(a) or (b)?

I need help. (as if -a- chic makes more sense)

Thank you. 

I am amazed by seeing this transformation in all models...

Very nice Denis,

I'm still surprised that a model become so smooth and shapely from its initial crude and rough aspect.

Actually, I wanted to express the final appearance  of the shrouds that the rules of physics obliged more than the working principle of all that rigging system as wefalck says at his last topic; "Given their size and weight, it would be impossible to put so much tension on them that they were completely straight. There is always a slight catenary in them."

At every look Michael, I notice an another new detail. IMO  you too did not even think at the beginning you would end up this build with so much and nice details, presenting a reference document... Wonderful!...

IMO,

A thick rope has heavy weight and that weight causes the shroud to hang due to gravity. The problem is at the first shroud (the closest to the mast). It must also have a sag but as same direction of the farthermost shroud (not like a hour glass). Actually full straight shrouds lines are not realistic.

And ratlines also have to sag due to gravity and after many usage from the crew...

I found a post about rigging ratlines. Very good option for rigging a ratline to the first and last shroud....

But I'm late for that... I have done many knots as Corel plans show... (Too hard!) 

Michael,

I don't know whether I should be happy or upset by witnessing the end of a such beautiful build.

It was a privilege to see her flourish day by day...

Like a child who grows up and leaves home now...

Many thanks for your kind words and support, OC, Hamilton and Mike and for all likes...

I want to make my own stern lantern, I don't like kit casting example.

I am confused about whether it was made of wood or metal at Berlin's period 1674.

I looked at some examples via web but some of them were made of metal and some worked as wood.

I will thankful for the answers.

Hi Mike,

Another Euromodel kit, another good choice...

Another beautiful ship.

Fine work on the painting after a fine work on the planking the hull...

IMO although painting the ship makes her accurate, nice and more attractive, it is a bit sad because it closes the all wood workmanship. A contradiction?

But knowing what is under the paint layers is a consolation, a respect to the memory of all that labor on the wood.

And you and us know that...

Hi,
A very small wood work...
After B.E.'s and Jason's (Beef Wellington) advice and instruction at October 2013 (how does life flow?!)
I had decided to close the channels...
Now it's time to do it... First step...
(Comparison)

And a small update. Shrouds have been completed...

How does she flourished suddenly?!

High level work...
