Jamey39MI Posted January 25, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2014 I'm new to building wooden model ships and I do not want to use a kit. I have build my rope walk but I need to know the different diameters of rope on the USS Constitution, but I can't find that information. Can anyone help, please!!!!

bogeygolpher Posted February 9, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) You might be interested in this link that provides the specs for a lot of the materials purchased for the restoration of the Constitution in 1993 - 1995. The rope specs are quite a ways down the page but there none the less. Theses are obviously real sizes not scaled. I'm not sure it is specific enough for your effort. http://www.maritime.org/conf/conf-otton-mat.htm You might also want to look at this which might be closer to what you are looking for http://www.digitalhemp.com/eecdrom/HTML/EMP/02/ECH02_18.HTM Edited February 9, 2014 by bogeygolpher lehmann 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeler12 Posted February 14, 2014 Share #3 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) One of our members, Geoff, has done a lot with his ropewalk and the threads he used. Have a look at his build log: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/945-constitution-by-geoff-176-scale-ms-2040/page-6 Be sure to go to the page before this one.
