Hello shipbuilders,
I am new in this group and have admired the fantastic models being showed in this group.
I am in the process of making a model of a French cod fishing vessel. These sailing ships sailed around 1900-1920 from the coast of Bretagne (Paimpol area) to the fishground around Iceland. I make the model based on information available on the internet. The scale is approx. 1/60.
My question is the following: I am looking to the best practical way of making rigging blocks. Blocks will have to be around 2.5 – 3 mm height. In the past I have made them from wood and thin steel wire.
I would appreciate if members can share their experience in making small sizes one-two sheaves blocks.
Many thanks in advance.
Piet de Mol
