Your rigging is just as beautiful as the works in wood, Karl.

Johann the rigging looks beautiful the close ups look like 1:1 hemp and not modelwork. The machine is nice too.

Hi Karl.

 

In English Ships these were called Masthead or Burton tackles and pendants and were fitted on both Fore and Mainmasts They were used for moving/lifting heavy objects on/off the deck and also were used to tension the shroud lanyards. They also gave some additional support to the lower masts. I would imagine this was also the same purpose in French Ships. The pendant would have a large thimble spliced in the end which the Tackle hooked into. These were (in English Ships) rigged on the mast before the shrouds were rigged. Sorry,can't speak for French ships but they look to be underneath the shrouds on your plan  :)

 

I noticed on your rigging plan that there is a number 7 and 27. That appears (to me) to be another masthead tackle with a long tackle block hooked into the pendant thimble. Sorry I can only quote about English practice but hope it is of some help to you. 

 

Kind regards,

Hello Karl,

 

hav`nt heard from your side quite some time, but what you present in your update is highest notch of masterly shipwright work. Am very impressed, it looks like the actual thing. I love the character of natural wooden surfaces, the wood speaks for itself, and your finish is fantastic.....

The simplicity of the woods, the richness of detail.  Wonderful, Karl.

Hello friends,

 

construction end of the model.

Originally, the model was planed with a complete main mast

and complete rigging.

Massive objections and pressure through my admiralty and government

with regard to the enormous size of the display case required an

amendment to the plan.
