These are really nice looking gudgeons!

Patrick, there is really nothing special I do for serving with silk thread. If you don't fix the serving at the ends it will unravel. However, a little CA glue or if you know the length of your served rope feeding the silk thread through the rope at the ends will easily do the job.

This is really nice work, BE! The cover idea makes a big difference.

Bob and Harshil, thank you for your kind comments! And thanks for all the likes!
Harshil, for seizing the blocks I use served rope. I serve the rope with a 100wt silk thread which leads to a very smooth surface. I did this the first time when rigging the carronades and liked the look of it 🙂

A little update . . . I made the travelers (imgs 1 to 3). The leather lining was simulated with a layer of silkspan painted with leather paint. The jibboom was lashed to the bowsprit (img 4), the flying jibboom was mounted and the various blocks added. Imgs 5 to 8 show the blocks and the simulated round seizing. Img 9 presents the current state of the bowsprit assembly.

I finally moved into rope making, too, using Chuck's recipe and rope Rocket. After a little experimentation the results turned out very satisfactory. Between our dining table and a little Black& Decker work bench I can easily make ropes of about 25' (see picture).
Although it was much easier to just buy the finished high quality ropes form Chuck 😊

My next model will be a POF model. It would be wonderful to have some good choices! But first I need to get my Syren finished 😉

Beautiful work! In my opinion a nicely executed wooden ship's wheel makes a big difference to a ship model.
