rigging tackle size


Recommended Posts

Your question indicates that you would be happier if you did some research into what was probably used aboard the actual ship, then obtain or make in scale rope to use for rigging and blocks. Probably not difficult information to obtain, with it you can shop around and purchase or cobble a device together to twist your own rope. Regardless, I would not use the provided rope without checking the scale and if I could match it because doubling the size of the model will result in having only half of the rope that you will need in that kit.

I think your question runs to both rope thickness as well as sizes of things like blocks and deadeyes.  A lot of out of the box tackle is too large to begin with so doubling it might exaggerate a problem.  So I guess applying your look right rule should keep you out of trouble!
