Thanks for clearing Alistair, the Kind tip for how to rig the anchor cables came from B.E. with ref. also to Dafi`s very nice HMS Victory anchor cable Arrangement. Before that I never was aware of the function of that Messenger cable... It reminded me a Little bit of the "Paternoster lift cabins in manifold Story high old Office houses, where you step in go to the required Elevation an step off again... Nils

Many thanks.... B.E., I first thought of broken White Color, but my wife convinced me that the now Chosen Color is more authentic Kester, thanks for that Input...., I was sure that there must have been a very knowledgeable Person supporting the film Fitting Outs..., Goodwin did a very good Job in that Alistair, I do`nt quite understand what you mean with "...anchor ropes taken back to the capstan..", as far as I learned the only rope around the capstan is the Messenger cable or ?

Many thanks Bob (cap`n`Bob), Michael (Meddo), Pete (48), I saw a Film on TV a couple of days ago, "Master and Commander" and the vessel "HMS Surprise" sraring Craig Russel, was very interesting to see these details, the rather low deckbeams, also the chain pumps in action, hammock nettings, guns in action, two to three men at the pumps crank Lever, etc, the film makers must have had good consultants for 18th century naval ship equipment....

Build log part 50 doing the folded and tied hammocks for the netting, after blackening the brass mesh and fastening it onto the hammock cranes Here starboard side, port side and QD ballustrade still to be done in the same way I did several Trials first until this version was given the go... use ordenary parcel wrapping paper with a light structure in the paper in length direction (resembles the rather much worn / greasy Color of the mens canvas bedding. All rolled up over a 2mm drill the dark lines resemble the tie bounds of the hammock 1 mm drill used at the inner side for folding Support (two equal long parts) mini laundry clampers hold the folded part the folded "hammock" is supported with a drop of PA glue (till dry), so there will be no extra spreadwise stress on the netting view from outside view towards the bulwark Nils

Also many thanks to all other fellow members for the many "likes" along the build path Nils

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.
