Hello,

the first of these blocks was attached to the main shrouds. 
As an aid I used a wooden strip which was covered with a double-sided adhesive tape.
Nevertheless it is a very difficult job to tie up these tiny pieces with Japanese silk yarn.

Hello,

thank you very much for the kind words and thanks to all the others for the many LIKES.

 

Continuation: Ratlines - Enfléchures
It's been quite a while since I finished the ratlines for the main mast shrouds. Especially with monotonous work, it is good for motivation to deal with other details, such as the signpost blocks, in between and thus provide variety.
Meanwhile I am again dealing with the ratlines, namely those of the mizzen mast shrouds, as you can see on the following pictures. The binding of the eye splice at the first and last shroud I have already described in detail in previous reports.

Continuation: Ratlines - Enfléchures
With the lashing of the shroud ladder, the mizzen mast shrouds of the French corvette on the port side, including ratlines, could be completed.

Now we continue with the ratlines for the starboard mizzen mast shrouds.
See you soon ...

Hello,
I thank you for the recognition. 
Of course I also thank you for the many LIKES. Both motivate and give me confidence to continue.

 

Moques de conduits: Mizzenmast
I almost forgot about them, the signposts blocks for the mizzen masts:

With the autumnal weather, the motivation to do less popular work comes back,
even if they are supposed to have a meditative character, at least that's the opinion of some of my fellow modellers ...😁

Thanks for nice comment. Also many thanks for the LIKES.


Another small stage of the standing rigg of La Créole has been completed: the ratlines of the mizzen mast are finished.
The integration of the shrouded ladders and the signpost blocks is still missing.

In the meantime, a small detail needs to be clarified once again. The side davits for the "Petit Canoes" of the corvette were made of iron and were lifted with a topping lift. These were shorn by single blocks on the mizzen mast.
How these single blocks were attached to the eyes of the ring fitting on the mizzen mast still needs further clarification. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the original model of the relevant area, where one can see more details. In the documents available to me I could not find anything meaningful about this either.

In this respect a question to the experts here in the forum: How could the fixing of the single block/lead block and the continuation have looked like, e.g. as shown below?

I would be very pleased if I could get answers or hints and suggestions. - I would be very grateful if you could send me your comments.
See you soon ...

In the meantime, not much has happened to the model.
But in this autumnal weather you spend more time inside again.
The futtock shrouds for the mizzen mast have already been prepared. The catharpins are now fixed.
The rear futtock shrouds have been fixed provisionally for the binding.

The ratelines for the futtock shrouds of the mizzen mast are completed.DSC00562_wett.jpg.dfc5612f666277873abb22d0f02fe3dd.jpg

 

Furthermore I mounted a single block next to each trestle tree. These are used for the topping lifts of the mizzen boom. 
Soon I will continue with the ratlines of the foremast.

Hallo Johann,

 

thank you for both video links. Just magnificient, as all the posted pictures in this thread, which has been in my "follow list" for a long time.

Pure joy to view your work, but I also must admit, it is always a little bit frustrating when I realise the fact I can never bring my ship model anywhere close to this :).

Wish you all the best also for the upcoming year and looking forward to seeing the next posts of her!

Johann,

 

This is quite simply a masterpiece in the making. The details and intricate work you put into this build are mind blowing. I look forward to each and every update with great anticipation. Coupled with the videos, it is one of “The” builds to follow. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work with us, it is a true pleasure.
