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?

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.

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:

@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:
