Hola,

 

Su trabajo sigue siendo espectacular. Hermosa. He vivido en México durante dos años, así que aprendí la (su?) lengua.

 

Saludos,

Very nice work.  I guess we should be giving our regards to the feathered builder?  :D  :D

standing rigging, I have checked the ... but I doubt arises:

Flag? Curve is the curve nasturtium? What is he specifically refers when he speaks of the lifeline?

Photo 1 and 3 are the same, but the original (French) and in Spanish.

in picture 4 put several definitions I found, but no clear me.

in picture 2, is the part of the plane, where I locate the damn lifeline.

good thank you in advance for your help.

Carbapente,

 

The French text talks about the two ropes alongside the bowsprit and not the rope you are pointing in picture 2 which is a stay as Druxey said. These ropes are used by the sailors walking on top of the bowsprit as rails to hold onto not to fall into the sea. See the rope pointed by the blue arrows in the attached picture.

 

The description in French gives the dimensions and how those ropes are attached to the bowsprit cap (one on each side) on two iron loops, a dead eye at the other end attached to another dead eye seized to the main mast stay loop. In addition there are several ropes attached to these "rails" and passing under the bowsprit - red arrows.

 

Hope this helps.

Alexandru

Hi,

I am just caching up with your build log, and I most say... The detail is just "outstanding",

All of those carvings you have hand made truly are amazing.

Thanks for sharing such beautiful work.

 

Regards

Polo

thank you very much but if you look closely, you'll also see a lot of mistakes. heh heh

Cabrapente,

 

Your latest updates are so excellent. Even at extreme camera lens close-ups (something that I fear) your work becomes intoxicatingly even more beautiful. You are a great artist

 

Con gran respeto

The carriages look great.  Seems like scratch building does fill up the scrap box in a hurry, doesn't it?  ;)
