I use wire to strop blocks, for me it's a lot easier. I use black annealed wire (or you can also use brass wire) below is a photo of the 24 GA wire I use, they also make it in 28 GA which I think is too small for your build.

You have to make the hook or you can buy hooks and then they need to be stropped to the block.

Rob, here is a drawing that maybe easier to understand than the drawing in #108.

Rob, the blocks are not to scale, smaller blocks are required. Pull is through the hole/sheave, the exact opposite of what you've done. Also, the hole/sheave, should where the line is running on top of the block/sheave and not at the bottom. Study the drawing in post #108.

Rob, there are no blocks in the cannon tackle on the instruction sheet, which is incorrect. The drawing in post #108 shows blocks and tackle and your cannon should be modeled accordingly. It's more work (and more expense if the blocks didn't come with the kit) but it's more accurate. Your cannon and carriages turned out great.

That's what we like to hear! 👍

Greg, I'm sure most of us could scrounge at least four from the wasteland perimeter.

David, I don't think any doubted your ability to recover. Nicely done. To my uncalibrated eye it appears that the plank thickness is just about that of an egg shell, close?

Because we're a captive audience. I've had a mulch kit on order from Cub Cadet for my brand new never mowed a blade of grass way too expensive lawn tractor since March 2nd. I can't mow my yard without a mulch kit. No aftermarket alternatives, so, we wait like the trained consumers we've become. Chris, hopefully they get your paint to you in short order.

David, hoping the repair goes smoothly and that you're pleased with the end result.

Trond, a little more than half as big but no more than three quarters as big is what my eye is telling me for what it's worth. The most important is it has to please you! Good work.

Iraymo, it turned out great. Good save!

Dump the trash? When's the last time that bench was cleaned! That thing's got so much motor oil and 90 WT soaked into it, it's a wonder everything doesn't slide off........ spot on realism.
-
Keith, it'll be interesting to see how you portray the DS. On US Navy ships it seems the DS was 90 degrees to the waterline. Most models have the DS 90 degrees to the bowsprit. In both old and new photographs I see it done both ways so it can't affect functionality or it would be only one way.
-
David, I can't believe how tight the planks are. Once all the planks are on and you've done the final sanding, it's going to look like a carved hull. Amazing work.

Michael, we're an equal opportunity forum We share many building projects. We have a member with a build log featuring a pirate ship bed he's building for his son. We have car models, plane models, shop renovations, work shed builds, on and on. The MSW home page is easy to navigate with many categories of interest. In fact, so many varied and interesting topics that I find myself puttering about more in MSW than working on my projects. And that's Ok because I learn a great many things. I hope you enjoy your stay......Keith
