GrandpaPhil Posted April 15, 2019 #1 Posted April 15, 2019 I’m pretty sure that the points I circled (tried to anyways, I’ve never used Mark-Up before) are blocks to tension the running rigging. My question is, are they on the deck and where do I belay them to?

TBlack Posted April 15, 2019 #2 Posted April 15, 2019 Let's number your circles 1-8, left to right. It looks like circles 3,4,6,7 those lines all go to a belaying pin at those racks. Circles 1,2,5,8 all refer to jib/staysail sheets. Are you going to put sails on your model? If not, then don't worry about the sheets, 'cause you won't have anything to attach them to. If you are, those are probably blocks attached to the deck to give the sheet a fair run. mtaylor, AON and GrandpaPhil 3
GrandpaPhil Posted April 15, 2019 Author #3 Posted April 15, 2019 Thank you very much for the information. Yes, I’m going to put sails on the model, so I’ll have to install more eyebolts with the blocks. mtaylor 1 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)
