marsalv Posted January 31, 2023 Author #484 Posted January 31, 2023 Thank you all for the very positive responses, they are embarrassing me a bit. To dvm27: It is not an exact copy of real splice. The ends of the rope are cut to a length of approx. 2 - 5 mm (depending on the size of the ceiling), the number of threads is then reduced by half on each side. Subsequently, the ends of the ropes are connected to each other and with the help of PVA and fingers, a connection is made. Finally, wrapping is done on the joint thus formed. So even if it's fake, the result doesn't look bad. Ondras71, mtaylor, No Idea and 4 others 6 1 Quote

glbarlow Posted March 26, 2023 #499 Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) The first photo of strings weighted with nuts I thought what is that, then I saw how it became a woven mouse that would be the envy of a full size ship. The simple but perfect jig for aligning deadeyes that never occurred to me. The precision of the seizings and splices, the quality of the blocks. Wow, the creative mind and master skill displayed with this model. Incredible. Which museum gets the completed work?

marsalv Posted April 2, 2023 Author #503 Posted April 2, 2023 Thank you guys for all comments and likes. The running rigging I started by installing the blocks and footropes on the yards.

The footropes are fixed in position with CA glue. Unsightly excess glue is removed with a debonder if necessary. mtaylor, Hubac's Historian and CiscoH 3 Quote
