AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Remcohe in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thank you Karl.
Thanks Mark, it's just a line for positioning. I have to make a special cleat and rope to attach the blocks to the tops. You'll see.
Mark II, here's the how to. I used this link to understand how it works: http://www.animatedknots.com/spliceshort/index.php?Categ=splicing&LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com
First the length I need is laid out and tied off at both ends. The tips of the ropes are dipped in CA to prevent from unraveling
The ends are brought together and tied again
Then the lines are spliced using a needle, it took some time to understand how this works as its quite confusing
I opened the eye of the needle so I can insert the rope easily
The finished splice
The loop is glued to the block
And then seized at both ends
The result
Remco

AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from aviaamator in 3D models of the project
I found on my hard disk some old 3D drawings for the project. I think they give some very interesting views about the frameing of the POF model. If I remember right Don has drawn them:

I know your very fine model from papermodelers.com. It's a pleasure that you show your outstanding work also at MSW. Thanks for sharing.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to gjdale in HMS Sussex 1693 by Gilbert McArdle
I'd certainly like to build this one Jeff - one day...... It's on my "to-do"list, but not until I have developed a few more skills and experience through some other scratch builds first.

AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in Hanseatic Ship c. 1470 by Foremast - 1:50 scale
I am happy to see the model. It's mainly based on the reconstruction of Busley from the beginning 20th century. I think it shows a holk, but there are many deatils which are from later types.
