    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.

    The beautiful carvings give the model a high quality look. By the way, an interesting technique for the stand.

    I admire the precise woodwork.

    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.

    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.

    Hello, many thanks to you all for the LIKES. Currently I am still working on the shrouds of the mainmast. For this I show some pictures serving the shrouds and attaching of the dead eyes. Furthermore, you can see a comparsion with an original seizing Here are some pictures of the current status:

    Hello Eberhard, that is very fine model making.In this scale with this precision to produce the details, deserves all respect.

    Hello friends, thanks a lot for the nice comments and the LIKES. On my rope walk I made the shrouds as hawser laid rope. The dimensions for the shrouds I take from Information from the monograph by J. Bourdriot and made a list. The first shrouds on the main mast are set. It is important that the distance between the dead eyes is usually 2 x distance dead eyes.

    Fantastic rigging Details!

    Hi Steve and Hans Christian, thank you for your extremely nice comments. That does very well and motivates enormously. And I would like to thank all the others for the many LIKES. With a small detail it continues here. The catblock has a very large hook so that the anchor can be fished. Quelle: Tafel 212 des Atlas du Génie Maritime

    The ropes for the hammock cranes have to be tensioned. I did that with tiny thimbles Ø 1,1 mm and lashings. The thimbles on the next image have the following diameter from left to right: Ø 1,1 mm Ø 2,2 mm Ø 2,6 mm The first attempts with seizings are not very nice. With a "fake splice" it looks better?

    Excellent rigging.

    I follow the very impressive work with great interest and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

    Admirable work! That excites me and is exemplary.
  21. archjofo
    Really a very realistic look.

    Hi Paul, thanks for the positive comment, and thanks to the others for the LIKES. The size of the blocks depends on the diameter of the rope, as stated by J. Boudriot. The production of the blocks, I do the following schema: Quelle: Musée de la Marine Paris – La Crèole

    The standing rigging looks fantastic. The complete model is wonderful.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

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.
