Hello, before I continue with the rigging, I have to rig the 18 pounders and then place them on the deck. The blocks and hooks I have made some time ago.

@Forlani daniel Hello Daniel, your crafting skills are simply admirable. An absolutely clean and flawless execution of the woodwork.

@vossiewulf Oh, excuse me! Thank you for the nice comment.

Hello Carl and Thomas, it is always a pleasure to receive such positive feedback.

@shipmodel Hello Dan, thank you for the interest. I will leave the pendants like this. Your note, I will consider when it comes time. Thanks for that.
-
@vossiewulf Hello, of course you are right. Looks really not special. I noticed only after your notice. Will pay attention in the future ... 😡

@michael mott Hello Micheal, today I took a picture of the spool traveler. This runs on the lower axis. I hope that your question has been answered. @Dziadeczek Hello Dziadeczek, in fact, the spool traveler rests on the axis. In the following picture you can see how I worming the rope. This works very well with the serving machine.

Hello, thank you for your interesting discussion on the design of models. it is perfectly legitimate to express different views. In the meantime, I have worked a bit further and made the standing parts for the lower main tackles.

HMS VICTORY 1765 by albert - 1/48
archjofo replied to albert's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Hello Albert, it is admirable with what patience you make this framework. With the meticulousness of how you do that, it will be an absolute top model ship. -
Hello, thank you for the active cooperation and the suggestion. I also think a darker lynard fits in more harmoniously.

Today I show you my second attempt for the shrouds. This time I used Gütermann silk yarn (left side). The lanyard are also made of silk yarn, but by Mettler. I will do more experiments.

Today I finally succeeded in uploading the pictures in my previous report.

Hello Michael, Paul, @deadbrotherbear, and @aviaamator, thank you for your interest and the nice comment. Also thanks to all for the LIKES. Here is a little update: I had completely forgotten the coppering of the mizzen mast in the upper area as protection for the jaw of the gaff. I remembered how I made the leather for the gaff. Another detail for the mizzen mast is a fitting for the topping lifts of the davits.

Hello, thin leather about 0.15 - 0.2 mm is not available. So you have to make thin leather even thinner. For this I have built a primitive device, as can be seen in the following picture. For example, the bobstays are served with leather. The thin leather, about 0.2 mm thick, can easily be glued around a rope after splitting, as shown in the next picture. The jaw of the gaff was lined on the inside with leather.

Hello Doris, the letters for the nameplate look fantastic again. Simply admirably beautiful!

@aviaamator Hi, if you follow the LINK, then you come to a page where many plans and drawings of 19th century French ships and equipment. Extremely interesting for modellers who deal with this era. You can download the plans.

@aviaamator Hi, a very clean frame. How long is the boat? Is this a "petit canot" You certainly know the drawings in the Atlas du Génie Maritime?
-
@aviaamator Thank you for your interesting presentation. Meanwhile I tried to fill the gaps of the rope. On my photo above is the wormed rope to see. To the left is the served rope. Looks a little less wavy, that's true. Below, I show the served rope without worming.
-
Hi Alex, again you have a masterpiece created! Congratulations to this magnificent model ship!
-
Hi Dan, thank you for your explanations. They are very interesting. Maybe I'll try it.

Hello, today I tried serving with a thin rope. This rope has a diameter of 0.45 mm. It works just fine with the device. But the macro shot shows that the yarn is too thick in relation to the rope. For my model in 1:48 scale this is certainly not relevant. However, it might be interesting for smaller scales. @druxey The worming of ropes probably requires too much effort on a scale of 1:48. Has anyone practiced that?

@ Jorge Diaz O Thank you for your interest and your nice comment. But with assistance here in the forum that was not too difficult. Therefore, thanks also to the others, who helped with suggestions. In addition to a thicker dew Ø 1.6 mm, I have also served a thinner dew Ø 0.9 mm. Now the rigging can begin ... oh, I have to clarify the questions about the material and the coloring before.
