Hello Mark, thanks for the tip. I practice a lot, here are my modest results.
-
Fantastic work! I'm excited
-
Very nice work!

Hello aviaamator, Thanks for the hints, but I'm still learning rope making. I will try to twist the strands closer and stronger at the next tests. Hi Richmond, Thank you for your interest and your nice comment.

Hello, after further tests, the following results are to be shown. The lower rope is made of polyester. All others are made of linen. Here is a short explanation: NeL 100 means 100 x 300 yards / 1 UK pound = 100 x 0.604772 g / m = 60.04772 g / m, that means 60 meters of this yarn weigh 1g. With each further attempt, the result is a little better. However, in the case of linen yarn, since it is a natural fiber, irregularities in the yarn are sometimes also unpleasant on the finished rope. I hope that this becomes less visible with the now ordered at the company Goldschild and even thinner linen yarn in the strengths NeL 120/2 or 100/3. Sequel follows …

Hello Karl, Ozark and aviaamator, thank you for your interest and nice comments. Also thank you for the LIKES. In the meantime, I have started a first attempt to make ropes. The left rope is my attempt, the right one is a purchased rope. For this experiment, I simply used polyester yarn. For each hook I pulled 6 threads, that is 3 x 6. As can be seen in the picture, the strands of my rope is not strong enough. In addition, I will make many attempts to collect even with linen yarn many experiences. The ropewalk has to be motorized at the "looper". With thinner strands, the twist may not be enough to form the rope.

Hello, that must show a try. Currently I am still looking for a suitable power supply to to be able to run the transmission for the ropewalk.

Hello Ed, I would like to say once again that you are a fantastic model maker. Class pictures! Since I do not want to overload your construction report, please follow the LINK. There you can see pictures of the linen yarn that has arrived today, in comparison with that of DMC. I would be very interested in your opinion.

Hello Paul, Druxey, Maury and Daniel, I am glad that you like my video. Thanks to all for your interest and participation. Right now I am preparing for the rigging for the French corvette. I intend to make the ropes myself. A modeler friend designed a ropewalk for me. The ropewalk has a length of 5 m and consists of two parts. Currently I am trying to find suitable base material. Preferably I would use linen yarn for this purpose. It is very difficult to get the right yarn. I have already received many valuable information from ED. I am very grateful to him for that. Today I received a linen yarn that I immediately compared to the cotton yarn from DMC. Note that the linen yarn is turned to the left, unlike the cotton yarn, which is turned to the right. In the next few days, the first attempts to produce the ropes will start.

Hello Ed, thank you for your explanations. They are very helpful. The cotton yarn from DMC I know very well and is a good alternative. Nevertheless, I would like to try linen yarn once. Tomorrow I will receive my first samples to see the quality.

Hello Ed, I must explain in advance that my English is not the best. I use a translation program for support and hope that I can express myself in a way that is understandable. Thank you for the insights into the rope production. These are very important and interesting statements that help me. I intend to use linen yarn for the ropes, as in the original. In 1:48 scale, it may be a bit lighter than at 1:72. Currently I'm looking for a suitable supplier, which is not easy. I have to deal intensively with this topic now. I already got a ropewalk. The ropewalk is in two parts and altogether 5 m long. The construction is of a fellow modelers. Here is a picture of it, when picking up by car.

Hello Ed, your construction report is like a textbook for model making. It contains many suggestions and tips. I would like to express my thanks for that. In the near future I will start with the Standing rigging for my French Corvette, so of course I am particularly interested. It is very good to see in your report how systematically you equip your model with rigging. I'm learning a lot. How do you make your ropes?

Hello Carl, I use this saw blade from Proxxon: LINK If necessary, I also cut hardwood.

Hello Pete, of course, I'll let you know how to cut a brass sheet 0.25 mm thick with a small table saw. I think that this pictures brings the best explanation. It works even better with a few drops of cutting oil. Of course, a saw blade for non-ferrous metals is required.

Hello, thank you all for your positive feedback. After a long time back and forth I have for the following execution of the gooseneck decided. And I oriented myself primarily to contemporary drawings. I hope that it is reasonably acceptable.

Hello, thanks for your feedback and "Likes", I appreciate your support a lot. Currently I am producing the Gaff and the Boom for the Corvette. There were many interesting details to clarify. So z. B. is located on the Gaff peak a small metal block for the national flag. What is still to be clarified is the design of the Gaff goosenecks the boom.
