Jeronimo reacted to dvm27 in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
This is called a rope seizing and is important to master if you wish to have authentic looking rigging. There are many ways to accomplish this and perhaps Johann will show us his method but here is a link to how it is done at full scale https://www.google.com/search?q=seizing+two+ropes+together&sxsrf=AB5stBhofT72a4wssD0pRmRKUL1XnUlYYg%3A1690640403559&source=hp&ei=EyDFZNLtH9PB0PEPuJWP4AU&iflsig=AD69kcEAAAAAZMUuIxxzRx15YmJ4avTPIokJnemZrVqH&ved=0ahUKEwiSw8eljrSAAxXTIDQIHbjKA1wQ4dUDCAs&uact=5&oq=seizing+two+ropes+together&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhpzZWl6aW5nIHR3byByb3BlcyB0b2dldGhlcjIFEAAYgAQyCBAAGIoFGIYDMggQABiKBRiGAzIIEAAYigUYhgMyCBAAGIoFGIYDSMw8UABYzzlwAHgAkAEAmAGjAaABtxeqAQQ0LjIyuAEDyAEA-AEBwgIHECMYigUYJ8ICBBAjGCfCAhcQLhiKBRjHARivARiYBRieBRiZBRiRAsICERAuGMcBGLEDGNEDGIoFGJECwgIREC4YgAQYsQMYgwEYxwEY0QPCAgsQLhiABBixAxiDAcICCxAuGIoFGLEDGIMBwgIIEAAYgAQYsQPCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICCBAAGIoFGJECwgIOEC4YgAQYsQMYxwEY0QPCAgsQLhiABBjHARjRA8ICERAuGIAEGLEDGIMBGMcBGK8BwgIKEAAYigUYsQMYQ8ICBxAAGIoFGEPCAg4QABiKBRixAxiDARjJA8ICCBAAGIoFGJIDwgINEAAYigUYsQMYgwEYQ8ICDRAAGIAEGLEDGEYY-QHCAgUQLhiABMICBhAAGBYYHsICChAAGBYYHhgPGArCAggQABgWGB4YCg&sclient=gws-wiz#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:fab5c4d0,vid:FrxW_GvMn1Y

Jeronimo reacted to Siggi52 in HMS Tiger 1747 by Siggi52 - 1:48 - 60 gun ship from NMM plans
Hello,
oh you poor boys. Stay here for a while, and you would love these temperatures. Today with a little sunshine between the showers and 16°C!
At the yard we build today only the under construction for the gratings and the ladder way. The two scuttles in front of the carpenters should be for the top tackle. What ever that is, but have they a lid? At the models they are not build, because there is the deck mostly open or build without these scuttles.
The next thing will be then the stern, first at least up to this deck

Hello,
because of the bad weather here, rain and 17°C, we are back at the shipyard. The carpenters cut the beams for the quarter deck last week and installed them today.

Completion: Equipment of the fore yard
With the production and arrangement of the blocks for the clewlines, sheets and tacks, the fore yard is fully equipped and is set aside until assembly on the model.
At the end of this work on the fore yard, here are a few more pictures:
The last of the lower yards that still needs to be equipped is the mizzen yard.
Sequel follows …

@JerryTodd
Thank you for your praise. Nice to hear.
Continued: Equipment of the fore yard - topsail sheets, lifts and studding sail booms
In the meantime, the topsail sheets, the lifts and the studding sail booms were attached to the fore yard for my little French girl.
I almost forgot an important detail to complete the equipment of the fore yard, namely the arrangement of the blocks for the clewlines, the sheets and the tacks.
I'll do that again and report back soon.
So see you soon...

Just found this build log. Very impressive and educational as to the details of construction as compared to other countries' systems.

Thank you very much for the nice comments. Thanks also to everyone else for the many LIKES.
Hello fellow colleagues,
back from Italy I escaped straight to the cool basement shipyard ... 😁
But apart from a few "finger exercises" I didn't get much done. I guess I have to "groove in" first, to put it drum-wise... 😁
Continued: Equipment of the fore yard -footropes and stirrups - Marchepieds et étrier
In the meantime, the footropes and stirrups for the fore yard have been completed. With the help of the following photomontage I just want to give you a few more insights into the production of the details.
On the next picture I show the current equipment level of the fore yard, where not too much is missing anymore.
Up soon ...

I made a mistake when installing the bulkhead spacers and will change it,
the groove for the water drain is only "outside".

Continuation: Equipment of the fore yard -Truss pendants / Drosse d'une basse vergue
As announced, I made the truss pendants for the fore yard. The truss pendants consists of two partly served ropes, at each end of which a thimble was spliced in. In the following picture you can see how one side of the truss pendants is attached to the yard by means of lashing. Later it will be moved to the right position.
The next picture shows the finished truss pendants. Admittedly, it looks a bit wild, but I think you can see it so far.
In this context, I show an illustration that once again clarifies the functional principle of the truss pendants. Unlike the British, where the ropes went to the deck for mooring, the French led the rope ends upward over sheave gates in the trestle trees to the top. There they were lashed down with tackles.
As with the main yard, the position of the two quarter blocks is secured with a strop so as not to be pulled toward the ends of the yards by the sheets.
Not to be forgotten is the jackstay of the fore yard, which I will do next.
To be continued ...

Jeronimo reacted to Gahm in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
I once watched a movie where some fictive person built an airplane model with every detail and every authentic material. When it was finished he gave it to some children as a present. A few days later he asked them where it was and they answered: "We filled up the tank and it just flew away . . . " Your model is so authentic and so unbelievably detailed it may just sail away one day 😊

That is annoying! I hope that you can easily extract the 'keys' to replace them.
