This part has little to do with KIT. It's intended for friends who want to make sail ropes. It's provided free of charge in KIT.

Interesting!  

Do you have any information about how this part is used?

Fabulous kit,i hope i could fine it in my modelism shop......

This is called a jib traveller. Standard books on rigging will show you details.

Are there more details than the illustration Trident Models provided?

[RickyGene]

Wow, will most certainly be watching for availability of the kit.  Look forward to more of the thread.

Hello, everyone, we haven't updated the development progress for a long time. When we produce metal parts, we find that one part has been unable to meet our requirements. This problem will be solved in the next few days. We tested a blackening agent for zinc alloy. Here we share it with you. It consists of three parts, 1. Surface activation (I personally think low concentration hydrochloric acid) 2. Blackening agent (I don't know what ingredients) 3. Surface isolator (similar to varnish), because the liquid can't be mailed, I think you can buy similar products locally. The development is expected to be completed in the next week. Thank you again for your attention.

That's some neat blackening. I have actual brass-black, and access to hydrochloric acid. I might play around with the chemistry a little.

 

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update.

I found that the blackening treatment of zinc alloys has a benefit, which is not excessive slagging like copper oxidation.It doesn't matter if you soak for two hours.

Because the parts are too small and the rate of good products is not high, today we can finally solve the problem of this part.

Your Computer drawing encourages me to try it for myself.

It's worth trying. Come on.

The trial production of ALERT is still under way, which is slower than expected. Now let's show you the design process of the standard British ship's boats. This component is made by 3D printing.

Testing with temporary materials

Hi Dubz

 

        Thank you for your reminder.The picture above is a test made of plywood, not an actual part. The actual parts are different in thickness.

[Trident Model]

There is a small error in the trial-manufacture of the ship's side plate in the photograph.It has been amended。

I apologize if my question is already answered, but what kind of wood is primarily being used in the hull framing?

Cherry wood used in hull structure

The outfitting parts will be shown to you in the near future, all in the original color, so that you can see the material clearly. Nail holes are reserved on many parts and need to be drilled by oneself. Nails
