Hello Patrick, I described the production of the dead eyes here LINK in my report. If you have any specific questions, I will gladly answer them. -
Hello, in the meantime I have finished the cheeks. Here are some pictures:

@Siggi52 Hello Siggi, thank you for your interesting information and the pictures. Before the construction of La Creole I was not aware that already in the 18th and 19th century ships were equipped with lightning conductors. @All Tanks for the nice comments and LIKES.

Hello, Thanks to all for the interest and the nice comments. To finish the lower masts I have to make the iron bands. This I made from strips of brass sheet 0.3 mm. To attach the frontfishes there are two-piece hoops.
-
Hello, today I show you only the result to the finished caps.

Hello Kurt, first of all thank you for your interest in my building report. I'm trying to bring a structure in my work and plan the individual steps. However, not always successful. My construction report, however, is essentially a record of the work done.

Hi Thomas, thank you for your nice comment. Thanks to all the others for the LIKES. In the meantime I made the fittings for the Mainmast cap. After all, these are a total of 30 parts. The other pictures show the finished Mainmast cap in different views.

Hi Ed, I am always amazed at your perfect way of working. Work preparation with drawings and then precise implementation are already remarkable.

Fantastic Work! -
Hello, thank you for the comments and, of course, for the LIKES as well. Today, I present a small update. The cap for the Mizen mast and the Cheeks still had to be equipped with fittings. Here are some pictures. I hope you like them..

Hello, thanks to all for the attention and kind comments. In the meantime, I made the cheeks for the masts. For the Mizen Mast they are ready made.

Hello Michel, I have been watching your building on the Internet for some time. I am glad that you are here now in MSW. Your model is fantastic. -
Hi Ed, I am impressed by your performance. This precision at this scale. This is model construction at the highest level.

@cog Thanks for your nice comment and @all the others for the LIKES. Here is another update. The topgallant masts were equipped with the remaining sheaves and the fids. Similarly, the trestle trees still received sheaves. The last picture shows the parts of the masts that have been produced so far.
-
Hi, thanks for the nice Comments and here is a short supplement.
-
@dvm27 Hi, the La Creole carried max. 3 weather vanes. These etching parts are extremely filigree. The soldering of the mounting rings is very difficult, so some of them are damaged. So I had to produce more than I need. The etching board with the 18 weather vanes cost only 6 € including shipping in Germany.
-
First of all, I would like to thank you for your supportive comments and for the LIKES. Let us remember LINK Meanwhile, I got the etched parts for the weather vanes delivered. I immediately went to work, and built the weather vane with lightning conductor for the mainmast top of the La Creole. In this context, I would like to mention this report on the lightning control of sailing ships. There are many parallels to the lightning conduction of the La Creole. I have also worked on the topgallant masts. Here are the results.
-
The etching parts for the weather vanes have not yet arrived. Meanwhile, I continued with the fittings for the topmast caps.
