  1. Hello, this is real goat leather, which I split again thinner, to about 0.2 mm thickness. Many rigging elements were leathered at the time, such as the collar on the bowsprit, as seen here LINK. Here I show my device for leather splitting.
  2. Hi Kudin, you are doing a fantastic job. I think your instructions are excellent. For that I would like to thank and hope that you continue to show us your work.
  3. I have to attest a fantastic precision to your work. I can still learn a lot from you.
  4. 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.
  5. Hello, I would like to thank you very much for liking my work. Also many thanks for the many LIKES. The report continues with the fore stay and preventer fore stay. A special feature is the attachment to the bowsprit with leather collars.
  6. Many thanks to you for the interest and the nice comments, also for the LIKES. I continued with the Main stay. Below are the corresponding pictures:
  7. 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.
  8. @KORTES Fantastic pictures of an outstanding model. I am excited about your great work and congratulate you for your beautiful model.
  9. 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."
  10. 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.
  11. Hello @druxey first of all, thanks for your attention and all other for the LIKES. In between, I always need a change in model building to maintain the motivation. So far I have used a purchased anchor cable that was a bit too thick. Now I've tried to make a better anchor cable with my rope making machine. The anchor cable is made as a cable laid rope. In the original cable had a diameter of 107 mm, which corresponds to a scale of 1:48 exactly 2.2 mm. This consists of 3 x 3 standed right handed ropes laid up left handed. I think that the new anchor cable is much better than the purchased one.
  12. The beautiful carvings give the model a high quality look. By the way, an interesting technique for the stand.
  13. Hi Rob, I have just seen your progress from your rigging. Impressively beautiful pictures!
  14. Thank you for your interesst und all others for the many LIKES. The main stay and the main preventer stay meanwhile are set so far.
  15. Hello, Thank you for your interest and the LIKES. Here I show the continuation of the work for the mainstay and the main preventer stay (Grand ètai et faux ètai grand mât). First of all historical drawings for the execution of the detial can be seen. Quelle: Manuel du Gabier 1875 Quelle: Takelung und Ankerkunde – Freiher von Sterneck 1873 Afterward you will see the realization for the model.
  16. Hello, many thanks for the comments and the LIKES ! It Always makes me happy. In the meantime I have completed the shrouds of the mainmast so far. They are lashed tight only when the stays are installed. The time I prepare the mainstay and the main preventer stay. The stays were all cable laid and it is wormed, as can be seen. Quelle: Musée de la Marine Paris – La Crèole Source: Musée de la Marine Paris – La Crèole Around 1830 the stay mouse disappeared. The stays split into two parts which each had an eye for a lashing. Source: Atlas du Genie maritime The mainstay and main preventer stay penetrated the foredeck and was fastened under it with strong eye bolts. These had iron counter-plates on the outside of the hull.
