The modelwork looks fantastic, I am having difficulty understanding how the block is used and how it would be handled. can you detail how it works? for me or point me in the right direction to glean the same.

Praise makes you happy, but criticism makes you better.

Thank you Karl, so if I understand correctly, someone had to unhook the block from the rope that held the block and hook it through the ring of the Anchor before letting the Anchor down.

 

From a purely practical point of view that looks like a very difficult task given the size of the block and the position of the Anchor.

Karl,

 

   Everytime I see a new update of your I just sit and stare at them When are you going to write a book. When is part 3 coming to the forum. I need more, I am like a little kid at Christmas time looking in the old Sears Toy Catalog. Anyone remember that far back.

Karl,

 

I rarely venture to the Scratch Built Section because it makes me soooo nervous (:-) Builds, such as yours are so "out-of-this-world" stunning that I then look at my efforts and need to improve so much. Examples, such as yours, make "all of us" as Karl just said stare for minutes at each photo gazing in wonder. Such a pleasure on the eyes....

 

I will spend more time learning, and ingesting ideas from this "side" of this great MSW forum. Your work of art is beyond superlatives. I have the Boudriot books, and may (one of these days) try something French (:-) PS: From a kit ha ha ha....

 

Again, yours is incredibly astonishing.

 

Regards,

 

Michael

Congratulations on finishing part 2 of your masterpiece Karl. When you have completed part 3, will they all fit together?

If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

Hello friends.

Thanks for the compliments.

Part 1 and Part 2, Part 3 later remain single because

of the insight into the ship's interior.

Regards Karl

You're off to a great start.  This will be interesting to watch and also see the masting take shape.
