Hello, currently I am working with the tackles of the stern davits. The lowering of the stern boat had to be done in a certain order, otherwise there was a risk of capsizing. Here is a picture from the Harland: Excerpt from "Seamanship", John Harland, p. 286 The danger of capsizing was of course very great in rough seas. Therefore, hooks for disengagement were introduced. Does anyone have any information when the first ones were used? Can it be that the La Creole already had something like that? In Harland the Robinson's disengaging gear is described. When this system was introduced can not be determined exactly, probably between 1870 and 1890. For more information, I would be very grateful.

That's a great performance.

Hello, today a short update. I hope the pictures speak for themselves.

Hi Ed, your report is always fascinating. You describe step by step how to make one and another detail. This is like a textbook for ship model making at the highest level. I learn a lot from you. Thanks, Ed!

Wonderful rigging! -
Hello Doris, your ability to create sculptures and figures is admirable. Forming the fine details of the hands, faces and clothes is a talent, an amazing gift. To build a model with all the sculptures in this quality is reserved for very few. You are one of the few.

Hello Karl, fantastic work! Very, very beautiful! -
Hello Nils, Ed, Thomas, Michael, Druxey and Mark Thank you for the appreciation and also to all for the LIKES. The double blocks for the backstays are finished. Here are some pictures:

Hello Patrick, the black seal serves to illustrate that the barrel is made from individual staves. That's legitimate in model making.
-
Hello Patrick, the very illustrated explanation of making barrels is just great. Thanks a lot for this. I have to try that too.

Hello Doris, your sculptures are in a class of their own. I am deeply impressed by your skill these wonderful sculptures to shape.

Hello, Here I show step by step how to make the detail for the bolts. In the meantime, I have made as far as all fitting parts for the double blocks of the backstays.
-
Hello Albert, Thank you for your interest. And here follows the continuation of the report: Here you can see how the bolts for the double blocks are made step by step. At the top of the fork-like shape comes a hole with 0.3 mm for the joint axis. For the attachment of the double blocks on the channels, I have the following solution found. I think that this could be historically correct. This design is similar to that of attaching eyebolts for breeching ropes on french sailing warships. The method of producing this detail I have seen in a Russian model building forum.

Hello Siggi, a very nice hull and rudder. A great performance. The holes for the rudder fittings were apparently drilled on the model?
-
Hello Mark, always nice to see in your construction report. A very nice performance.
-
Hello Aviaamator, Thank you for the informative presentation on the production of sails. That's a very good performance. To the width of the cloths of the sails I can inform you that these at the La Creole have a width of about 60 cm.
-
Hello Carl, yes correct, it is a 1 cents piece in the background. At the moment I can show only little progress:
-
Hello, finally the etched parts have arrived. So I made another prototype for the double blocks for the backstays. The attachment on the channels is shown here with a cross pin. Whether that is historically provable, I do not know. But I can not do this find information, neither in the literature nor on the Internet. Maybe you know a solution for this?

@albert @deadbrotherbear @cog Hello, thanks for your interest. Duplication makes a jewelry foundry. I hope it works the way I hoped
-
Hello, until the etched parts arrive, I make hooks for the rigging and blocks. These hooks are reproduced with brass castings.
-
Hello Albert, Patrick, Michael thanks in advance for the nice words. The drawing as a template is from me. But I have the etching parts made by a company.
-
Hello Doris, the tiny sculptures are gorgeous. The way you make them is unique and very artful. I am deeply impressed.

Hello friends of model making, thanks for the interest, especially thanks to Carl for the last nice comment. At the moment my job takes me a lot. Therefore, there is little time for the hobby. In that respect, I can only show a little. The iron fittings of the blocks for the backstays I have as etched parts commissioned. Other fittings are for the double blocks for the boat davits. These blocks are equipped with hooks. For this my first attempt. This is not optimal yet.
