    Going off topic here and you may be right but the symbol looks like a Rasta lion and I THINK Kuba is not an uncommon Rastafarian name.

    Kuba,

     

    What I gave you was a general rule of thumb for ship rigged vessels of that era.  Personally, I think that a 1.4 or 1.5mm rope will probably look just fine. But if you wish to go a bit larger, have at it.  Whatever you feel looks good to your eye is what is important.

     

    BTW, I'm guessing that Kuba is not your real name. We are a fairly friendly bunch here on MSW. We like real names (no pressure).

     

    Regards,

    My real name is Jakub, in Polish Kuba is a diminutive of Jakub. Jakub and Kuba is a variation of the name Jacob. 
And the Rasta lion is because my name is Jakub - Jacob, and im Rastafarian 😀
    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Regards,

    Jakub, Kuba 😄

    Hi.
Anyone know what was the thickness of the rope "mainmast lower part stay(100%)" 
on the French vessels from 1680th to 1700th in 1/1 scale?
    I can't find this information anywhere, it's possible the rope was about 3.5 inches ?

    In 1/36 scale its a 2,44mm, im making La Belle 1680. What thickness of rope should I make ?

    What do you think about it ?
