I too use Fiebings dye for blocks, like Ron. I polish my blocks with a little Renaissance wax for a dull shine.

In either case, black would appear rather stark at model size.

I believe that viol blocks were 'snatch' blocks with a opening on one side to put the line through. Then one would not need to reeve the end of a line through.(A messenger cable is continuous, anyway!)

We aren't black-hearted! I agree with wefalck.

Silly fellow! You can't row with those rudders.

Make a mock-up of the carving in modelling clay first. You can work out the problems in 3D without wasting any wood! -
Pantograph to enlarge plans
druxey replied to Sambini's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Pantographs were originally used for enlarging sketches, not scale drawings. As remarked already, scan and print to the size you need is far more accurate and reliable! -
Am I correct in my recollection of reading somewhere that a flute or fife-like instrument was used to keep time, not a drum?
-
Very ingenious mechanism for the three banks of oars, Richard! Must have been fun calculating the 'throw' and stroke rate relative to the motor rpm. Is that ramming speed? And a very nicely crafted model as well.
-
I find that a shallower cone angle improves the lay-up of the line. Looking good, though!
-
I think that the arrangement would be similar to your illustration, right hand side, across the box. The access would be from the inboard side, with only a single head per compartment.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
