A friend asked for help if I could. It belonged to her grandfather and is pretty well weather beat. Not a restoration! I am 76 and somewhat picky with what is available when I build for myself or competition. I needed basic info for a genre I don't work with. I hoped to reach someone that would have a working idea of a possible scale that some of these parts might be available. Trying to work with crumbling plastic pieces to make use of the 3D magic box was going too far. Appreciate all the great help. Have yourself just a great day....

The plastic ones have failed from age and I can find them but they are sized by MM.

Afternoon all, I am a new member on a quest. I have built models for years armor, aircraft and even naval..on occasion submarines. A friend brought me an OLD wooden ship her granddad had built back in the sixties. This ship, Fragata Espanola 1780, needs some help! The most major needs right now are replacing numerous lines and fiddly broken things. Basically, being wooden it has aged well but not so much for the plastic parts. I need to replace the blocks? and assorted pieces for the rigging as the little plastic pieces have failed. I've searched around and found excellent line for the rigging and numerous small parts. What would be of great help would be knowing what scale I am working with. Lots of pictures of the built kit but sorely lacking in necessary scale. If anyone has this info I would really appreciate getting it from this source. Even something to help putting the rigging where it needs to go. This is NOT a restoration as much as trying to give back what this looked like in the 60's. Thanks guys..........
