Today I came across this building report by chance. Since I myself am very interested in French shipbuilding, I am very pleased to see such a beautifully built hull from the Le Cerf. In the meantime I have also looked at several of your models and admire your skills. Therefore I am sure that the Le Cerf will be a wonderful model. -
Hello, the catharpins for the mainmast shrouds are completed. The catharpins with the futtock shrouds get the final tension.
-
Hello, with pictures I have tried to explain the steps to make the catharpins. I hope that it will become clear so far.

Hello, the catharpins for the main shrouds I make from a rope with a diameter of 0.63 mm, which I serve with my rope serving machine. Here is the first try for fitting.

Hello, today again only small steps forward. The ratlines of the main shrouds are finished by now. My rope serving machine has been converted to be able to serve the catharpins

@druxey @davec Hi, thanks for the positive feedback, and also all the others for the LIKES. Slowly I work my way up the shrouds of the main mast with the ratlines. Today I want to give some details about the ratlines. Often pictures show more than words can describe. I hope that it is the same in this case. Enjoy the pictures:

Very nice work !

Hi Greg, the masts and tops look fantastically good. An absolutely clean and precise work. Do you also use steel wool for the finishing ?
-
Hi Carl, thanks for the kind words. All the others thanks for the LIKES. In the meantime, I am making the ratlines on the port side of the main mast. This is also a question of discipline, regularly two ratlines every day ... 😁
-
@Ondras71 Thank you for your nice comment. Today only a short update. The starboard side is so far equipped with the ratlines.

Hello, the current status for the installation of ratlines is as follows: I almost forgot the futtock staves and the catharpins. These should have been mounted before the ratlines. I am currently preparing the components for this.
-
Hello, the end of the ratlines have an eye splice, but in simplified form. The following pictures show how it works. The end is inserted twice through the strands:

Hello, I was very intensively involved with the serving of ropes and built myself a rope serving machine. If you are interested you can read up on some things here LINK. Here you can also watch a video LINK.

@deadbrotherbear @paulsutcliffe @Jeronimo Many thanks for your kind remarks, and thanks to all others for the LIKES. Slowly it becomes clear to me, why I pressed myself around the beginning to weave the ratlines. But steadily and laboriously I work my way up the shrouds. There are even some fellow modellers who claim that this work can be mediative and very relaxing. But unfortunately I have not felt any of that so far. Therefore the motto is: Hold on! On the following picture you can see the current status of the ratlines for shrouds and the passage.

Hi, Karl, the ratlines have the color of the yarn I use to make the ropes. As far as I know, there are many different ways of taring ratlines. Please refer to this discussion.

@Dziadeczek Hello, Thomas, thank you for your extremely well-intentioned comment. I was very pleased, of course also about the many LIKES. Hello dear model building friends, here it goes on with small steps. I make the ratlines on my own rope making machine from japanese silk yarn 100/2 (2 x 3), which gives a rope diameter of 0,35 mm. After the preparations, the first ratlines were made.

It look´s great !
