GrandpaPhil Posted April 15, 2019 Share #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 Share #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. AON, GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaPhil Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share #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 Quote Building: 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships) On the building slip: 1:72 French Ironclad Magenta (original shipyard plans) On hold: 1:98 Mantua HMS Victory (kit bash), 1:96 Shipyard HMS Mercury Favorite finished builds: 1:60 Sampang Good Fortune (Amati plans), 1:200 Orel Ironclad Solferino, 1:72 Schooner Hannah (Hahn plans), 1:72 Privateer Prince de Neufchatel (Chapelle plans), Model Shipways Sultana, Heller La Reale, Encore USS Olympia Goal: Become better than I was yesterday "The hardest part is deciding to try." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
