marsalv Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share #451 Posted December 10, 2022 To No Idea: As garyshipwrighter partially answered you, the small blocks are intended as a stop for gammoning and collars (fore stay, fore preventer stay, inner and outer bobstay) - see enclosed picture. I finished all the masts and tried installing them on the model. Paryzek, druxey, cotrecerf and 22 others 16 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert952 Posted January 8, 2023 Share #466 Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I know it's likely a matter of the angle and position of the camera. However, it's a good thing you put the skylight in so the masts can stand tall. 😉 Looking great and a lot of visual information on how you assembled components.

marsalv Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share #469 Posted January 19, 2023 Thank you guys for very nice comments. Preparing to make these blocks was quite a challenge for me. But the result exceeded all my expectations. Uncritically, I have to admit that I myself am very satisfied with the result.. To Hsae - The blocks are made with a CNC milling machine, not from Proxxon, but a commonly available Chinese milling machine. The material for the blocks is pear. The construction of the model moved to the next stage - rigging. I start by attaching the bowsprit.

Hubac's Historian Posted January 21, 2023 Share #472 Posted January 21, 2023 Absolutely brilliant stuff - your blocks are second to none, and the whole model places you (in my humble estimation) in the upper pantheon of builders. It is so exquisite, in every way, that it never fails to inspire. robert952, druxey, Ondras71 and 3 others 6 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Would you mind sharing dome from " cooking recipes" how you handle fuzziness on ropes? Its all very clean wow. IT will be great learning to watch french rig from start to finish. I would Guess frigates wouldnt have much different rigging.

marsalv Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share #478 Posted January 30, 2023 I am very pleased with the positive reactions to the use of a CNC milling machine in the construction of the model, but to be honest, I myself would need a lot of lessons from more experienced people (at least as far as 3D computer modeling is concerned). To Vladimir_Wairoa: I use French Sajou threads, which are waxed (at least that's what the manufacturer says), so I don't have so many problems with "hair" on the ropes. I continue making pendants and lower mast shrouds. HB17, CaptMorgan, yvesvidal and 19 others 20 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
