@kees de mol These ships are not my specialty, but you build an excellent model and it deserves recognition. The construction method for the ship's hull is remarkable and it looks great with the iron plates and rivets.- 193 replies

Hello dear friends, in the meantime I have installed the first rope ladder on the bulwark of my model. I made customized drills for the holes, because it has very tight conditions on the model.

Hello, Michael, you show excellent work with wood. You might think this is the construction of a ship on a scale of 1:1. I also admire your clean and accurate processing of the materials. Is that the model of a railway in the background?

Hello, Michael, first of all thank you for your interest and the positive comment. I open the rope with the same tool, a kind of hollow spike. I made that from a cannula and usually use it for splicing LINK.

Hello, after a little longer research, I will now show you how I make the rope ladders for my model. Before I install these rope ladders on the model, I do a test on my model section, as can be seen in the following pictures.

@Dowmer As far as I know, from the middle of the 19th century this was a very common way of fastening the deadeyes.

Hello Doris, since it is a pair of tackles, each behind the foremast and probably the main mast, I suspect that these are topsail halyards. In addition, a section from the book by Mondfeld page 310, No. 7. Source: Historic Ship Models, Wolfram zu Mondfeld, Sterling As already mentioned, this is only a guess on my part. I am not an expert in 17th century ship rigging. I hope that a specialist can provide you with more information.

Hello Doris, happy New Year ! I am always enthusiastic about your work. Not only are your sculptures unique, all other details cannot be surpassed in their execution. This type of model building is not available anywhere else in the world. I hope that you will continue to delight us with beautiful pictures of your wonderful model in 2020.

Hello dear friends, in the meantime I was able to find out in a publication " Takelung und Ankerkunde - Freiherr von Sterneck -1873 " that pushing the rungs through the rope ladder ropes represents the correct execution. Quelle: Takelung und Ankerkunde - Freiherr von Sterneck -1873 - Bildband However, there must be a clear passage at the shrouds. This is not the case with the Paris model. Now that the details have been clarified, I can start with the implementation for the model.

Hi Michael, from time to time I keep looking at your construction report. I am also glad that you are bacck. Here is a wonderful model emerging. At this point I would like to thank you for showing us how you do the detailed work. I learned a lot from that and am looking forward to continuing in the new year. I wish you and your family all the best for 2020.

Hi Andrey, making the gun barrel is very interesting. Without a lot of machines with simple tools you can achieve a precision that is astonishing. Thank you for showing us all of this in so much detail. By the way, your videos are fantastically well done. Looking forward to continuing your report in the new year. Therefore I wish you and your family all the best.

Hello, at this point I would like to thank everyone at the end of the year for interest and participation in my construction report. I wish you and your families a happy new year.

Hello, before I attach the ratlines, I have to install the rope ladders in the bulwark area. There are two ladders per mast, one on the starboard side and the other on the port side. Here is a photo excerpt of the Parisian model of La Créole: Quelle: Musée de la Marine Paris – La Crèole The design on the Parisian model is probably not entirely based on the original, as the following photos from this era show. Therefore I believe that the rung goes through the rope and secured with a rope binding, as can be seen in the following picture. Who can give me more information about this?

Hello, many thanks to all for the continued interest and your nice comments. Today I uploaded a video about the standing rigging. I hope that you like it. Please follow this LINK.

Hello, meanwhile I made the various blocks with spliced Stropps.

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 …
