    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

    Hello friends of model making, I still had to complete the rudder pendants. For this I needed served ropes and thimbles.

    Hi Ferit, thank you for your interest and the other thanks for the LIKES. Meanwhile, the second bowsprit gammoning was completed.

    Hello, thank you very much for the LIKES. Currently I do the bowsprit gammoning. The left handed ropes with a diameter of 0.9 mm were made on my own rope walk. At the respective end an eye was spliced. Here is the order for attaching the bowsprit gammoning: Quelle: Mondfeld - Historical Ship Models

    Thanks for the many LIKES. The bowsprit shrouds and the preventer-bobstay with chain have been completet in the meantime. The bowsprit shrouds with eye splices, the bobstays and the preventer-bobstay with chain were installed so far. The lashings are only made firm if everything fits. The bobstays are covered with leather. The conclusion of the leather coats was secured with a closed band.

    @cog Yes, I made the tool exactly from a cannula.

    Hello Karl, I wish you success for the new project. It will certainly be like the others a great model.

    For the bowsprit shrouds, thimbles must be spliced in eyes. Here are the first and then the second attempt. The rope is in the original 43 mm thick, in the scale 1:48, however, 0.9 mm. Look at the pictures: First attempt: Second attempt:

    Hi Ed, I'm always excited when I look at your report. This is model building at the highest level. Your model exudes a fascination that is unique and fantastic. Thanks also for the fact that you report so much about the detailed work. I have been able to learn from this and can also learn a lot in the future.

    @Erebus and Terror Hi, thank you for your positive feedback. It´s real goatskin, which I bougt on the internet. Since this leather is much too thick for this use, I have split it with a simple device. You can do that here see: LINK

    Hello thanks in Advance for the nice comments and the LIKES. To be continued: Other tackle elements for the bowsprit were manufactured and installed. There are then later fixed different stays. I show step by step how to dress a strop with genuine leather. First step: Second step: Third step: Fourth step:

    I love these details. Unfortunately, only the chimney can be seen on my corvette.

    Hi Rob, I wish you a happy Easter and all the others. Hopefully we all have some relaxing days with nice weather. Here is a quick update to the construction report: The strop for the preventer bobstay is covered with real leather. The leather has a thickness of 0,2 mm, self-split.
  23. archjofo
    The construction report is continued with the rigging of the bowsprit. It starts with the jib boom footropes. The jib boom footropes, usually fitted in pairs. They were secured to the bowsprit cap. Here are some pictures:

    Hi Ferit, I hope that the two pictures show you how it works.
