    Hi Ian.. These 21 strands ( cable-laid ) were pulling your leg, weren´t they? In fact I can´t tell their exact number, but for break resistance and to come up with a 70 mm diameter it could have been made to these dimensions.by her master designer Georg W. Claussen of Tecklenborg/Geestemünde. Fabricate some rollers , if you feel like it, but remember their tiny diameters, and wether it will catch at all some eagle-eyed onlookers´ glance at the model : ca. 450 mm : 150 = 3 mm dia. And yes: the steering-cable runs through openings at the foot of the poop-bulkhead right to the after steering quadrant, not up to the poop deck itself.. I am the happy owner of the THE BOOK : "Königin der See - Fünfmastvollschiff Preussen" by Horst Hamecher. Out of trade long enough, but you might find a copy at an online-marketplace, like this one : https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-königin-der-see/k0 Good luck Marten

    Hi Ian. Steel-wire, cable-laid, 21 strands, 70 mm diameter in all, runs aft from the main steering-barrel in front of the chart-house, down from the Liverpool-House to the after deck over two rollers, mounted in these "slots", further aft then through some horizontal on-deck rollers to the tiller below the poop. And please don´t forget: 21 strands it has to be . Cable-, not hawser-laid :-) Gx Marten

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.
