@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. -
@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/

Hello, @jose_b and @Wishmaster thank you very much for your motivating comments. Thanks also to the others for the lot LIKES. Some time ago, I already reported on the production of the burton pendants. These had to be placed before attaching the shrouds. Meanwhile I made the fore tackles. These consist of heavy double blocks, for example, to lift heavy loads or to support the rigging, and other. The las Picture Shows how the fore tackle is hooked to the channel.

The shrouds of the La Creole for the mizzenmast had a diameter of 58 mm, which corresponds to a diameter of 1.2 mm on a scale of 1:48. The foremost shrouds were not served in this case. Thus I have set all shrouds so far. Here are a few pictures. Finally, a picture of the current state of construction.

Before it goes on in the report I would not Forget to thank you for your nice comments an the many LIKES. After the little excursion to the bulwark I continued with the shrouds for the foremast. The foremast has 5 shrouds per side. Therefore, the last shrouds require a special design. These are placed together with a so-called horse-shoe-splice. "Every picture is worth a thousand words."

Hello, thank you for your interest and for the benevolent words. Also thanks at all for die many LIKES. Before I continue with the standing rigging, I have to add different details, because otherwise there is no accessibility. On the one hand it concerns the ship toilietts, on the other hand it concerns belayin pins and cleats. I hope you like the pictures.

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.
