how to work with teeny blocks???
Lucius Molchany replied to achuck49's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Put the block in a 3rd hand alligaror clip.Then you wrap the rope around it and tie it off,Cannot slip off that way.

Wow!Thar really brings out the color of the mahogany.Very nice indeed.
-
Is it the old blue box number 440 kit?
-
Yes the parts are thin but being wood they are more robust than plastic for sure!
-
Tied on the second course on the main mast and will do the 3rd next.I also put the highest platform and flag pole.
-
Yeah it is going very well.this should be a good one!
-
Looking good thus far.The build techniques you used are very sound.
-
Thanks for the info .I will use your suggestions on future builds.
-
Attached the blocks for the second course and tied up the ratlines.
-
Thanks,I will see if I can find that book.

The doubling method for the shrouds was a good idea and I am pleased with the result.
-
Yes both the Ersatzia and Vernon are tune up builds to learn the techniques necessary to build a major ship model.Mistakes made here can be pointed out and corrected on future builds and the end results are still excellent and impressive decirative objects that friends and family find mighty impressive!
-
I consider the doubling method a success in making the shrouds look better.
-
In order to thicken the shrouds,I obtained heavier thread and doubled the lines.seems to have worked pretty well without having to undo all of the work on the rat lines.
-
Yes sir,that is exactly what i was doing with the billings wasa which i renamed ersatzia and the vernon before i invest in an expensive kit.
-

-

Wel I did have troUblE with the single planked hull and I should have carved blocks for the bowso the mistakes are my fault.I think a double planked hul may ha ve come out better.I ha ve to use my daughters old Samsung tablet to take pics because my laptop died.
