A too complicated system for my poor mind to understand  but a great result 👍

Thank you very much Patrick. It's just that the translator doesn't explain it well..😁

I'm gradually getting smaller and smaller.

There will still be a lot of manual labor here..😴

Good day Ondras!

Greetings! Excellent work! It is always a great pleasure to watch how the model becomes more beautiful as it acquires details! And will you install bolsters, or are they already installed and hidden under the shrouds?

All the Best!

Thank you very much Ab and Kirill.

 

I have been making tackle pulley halters for a long time.
I chose a system of tying and gluing the tapered ends of the cables..

 

Now I'm already preparing for a weekend trip to see this beauty..🔥😍 https://www.vasamuseet.se/cs

As I reported, I enjoyed a weekend in Sweden with the main goal, the Vasa Museum. https://www.vasamuseet.se/cs

I had been preparing for this for about 40 years and it was worth it. When I arrived, my watch reported increased blood pressure and heart rate... I spent over 4 hours here, I could have stayed longer, but I took into account the company of my son. I walked around the ship several times and compared the beams and planks with the strips from which we model them... Having the ship about three meters away from each other is unreal. I tried to look at and photograph every detail. Simply indescribable, at the end a very long viewing with contemplation..🔥

I've made some progress on the boat. Front and main tackle finished, I'm tuning the Stays and the Schrouds are waiting for me..

Good day Ondras!

Very fine and clean work! Such a great pleasure to look at it and to see how she is slowly growing up!

All the Best!

Kirill

Ps

I' m not an expert, but by visual impression, deck boat lashing  looks a little bit too light and fragile . May be there is sence to use some set of 3 ropes or some more thick rope for that purpose/ to hold( secure) boat on deck?
