Hi, for the many nice comments, I thank you very much. It is a real pleasure to receive such a recognition. That encourages me to continue like this. Also for the many LIKES a big thank you. Continuation: Guide blocks inside the bulwark In addition to double blocks, a series of single and triple blocks must also be made as guide blocks for the bulwark. In contrast to the large single blocks with iron fittings (length 6.8 mm in the scale 1:48), the simple blocks with strops are much smaller copies with only 4.3 mm in length. That does not make splicing much easier. In this respect, the short splices are not as uniform as they have already seen. The next picture shows a single block in size comparison to a cent coin. Sequel follows …

Hello, here I show a new Video of the current state of the model: LINK

Hello Nils, a very nice model, what you have created there. I love these little details.

@Dowmer Thanks for your nice words. A fine model, your long boat. On the model of the La Créole in the Musée national de la Marine Paris in 1:40 scale the mousing looks like this: Maybe I'll do it. Let's see.

Hi Bob, Thank you very much for pointing out this tiny detail. Since the hooks are very small, it will be very difficult to do it properly. So I do not know yet if I'll do it.

@Dubz @BETAQDAVE @druxey Hi, first of all, I would like to thank you for your interest. How I'm doing the hook, I explained elsewhere in the report. Here I show again the corresponding picture:

Hello friends, here is the continuation to the production of block strops with splice:

Hey Andrey, I've been watching your vidoes for some time now. You are a fantastically good model maker. You build extremely precise and with ingenious tricks you make the greatest details. I have already learned a lot from you, and I would like to thank you for allowing us to participate in your model making.

Hello, at the moment I have little time for my hobby. Therefore only a short update. Here´s another try. I hope that I can do it with a reasonable amount of time. So it takes a little practice.

Hi, thank you for the positive comments and the many LIKES. After a short break I continue with the double blocks 4.5 mm long. These were fastened along the bulwark at the height of the waterway. Source: B. Spinnen, Pariser Model So far I have glued the block strops. But that does not correspond to the original. So I tried to make the block strops with a splice. Here's the first try:

Hello, thank you for the nice notes and the many LIKES. Before I continue with the ratlines I have to do the following: Along the bulwark of the French corvette, a series of blocks, serving for diverting, for example, halliards and other ropes, were hung in eyebolts. These blocks had iron fittings and hooks. I made them in a proven way.
-
Hello Phil, thank you for your interest and the nice comment. Thanks to all the others for the many LIKES. For a change, I make in between blocks with fittings for the fore topsail sheets. These blocks are 32.5 cm long; in 1:48 scale, this is 6.8 mm.

@Blackey I blacken the brass parts with Brass Black from Birchwood LINK. This works even with soldered parts.

@aviaamator Thanks! Hello friends of model making, that is the current state of my model:

@hedley Hi, Thank you for your interest and your nice words. Thanks also for the LIKES. Here I show my further attempts to the ratlines. According to the monograph on La Creole by J. Boudriot, the thickness of the ratlines is 21 mm 1:1 or 0.45 mm in 1:48 scale. At the request of a model colleague we received the follogwing Information from Gerard Delacroix. In the years 1760/80, the ratelines were actually 1.2 cm according to the specifications, but later, after 1800 and at the time of the La Creole, we find larger dimensions. Thus, the ratlines of the lower shrouds were 21mm. The topmast shrouds had therefore 19 mm and the topgallant mast shrouds 17 mm. But purely from the subjective feeling, I feel that as a bit too thick for the lower shrouds of La Creole. Therefore, I have made another attempt with 0.40 mm, which corresponds to 19 mm in the original.

Hello, I continue with my report as follows. For the Ratlines, I bought japanese silk, which is very thin. On the next picture are thin ropes of this silk 2 x 3 with a diameter of approx. 0.35 mm can be seen. The thick rope is 1.15 mm thick, which corresponds to the thickness of the shrouds. Before I do the ratlines on the model, I test on a device.

Hello Alex, I am always happy to see you at work and I am looking forward to further progress. My admiration for your modeling skills is certain. -

Hello Patrick, a very nice and bright workplace.

@John Allen Thank you for your appreciation, and all the others for the many LIKES. Here is an update on how to make the main and fore takle. The fixing of the eye bolts on the channels was done with an iron wedge that goes through the bolt. Here is the implementation in model making. Quelle: http://jbriggers.se/projects/
