Jeronimo got a reaction from Archi in French 64 Gun Ship 1729 by Jeronimo
I made a mistake when installing the bulkhead spacers and will change it,
the groove for the water drain is only "outside".

I'm sorry to read that the model is too large to continue. The work you have done is first class, Karl.

That is not good news but understandable. Will you have to start over or can you cut the bow off this model and us it? That might save you much work.

That's a shame. Do it in three parts like Bonhomme Richard?

Equipment of the mizzen yard - Slings and Quarterblock / Suspentes et poulie d'ecoute
The mizzen yard of the La Créole had no jackstay and only a quarter block for deflecting the sheets in the middle of the yard. This block was therefore designed as a double block, as can be seen in the following detailed photo of the Paris model.
Source: La Créole monograph by J. Boudriot, page 168
Based on these double blocks with a length of 5.6 mm in model size, I would like to explain my method of block production in more detail.
I scale the drawing of a double block from the Atlas du génie maritime to the required size and glue the printout to a strip of pear wood with the appropriate dimensions. Since I use separate discs for this block size, the disc gates are milled in the next step. In this case with a width of 0.6 mm.
After shaping with an emery file, the grooves for the strops are made with a round file. The fine sanding is done with a fine steel wool and the final finish is done with a ball matting.
As can be seen in the next picture, I have meanwhile attached the fully served slings and in between the double block for the mizzen topsail sheets using rose lashings.
The next step will be the production of the truss pendants.
Sequel follows …
