Main problem is how you connect the rope ends into a grommet. Could you provide links to these sites? I am looking for as much details as possible.web sites show how to make these
Thanks, Don, this helps.A few links.
Thanks. This makes sense. This is what I will do.Yuri, just make a knot at the end of the block, tighten it tightly, drop a drop of CA on the knot and bite off the excess on both sides. Even Dmitry Shevelev does this on a small scale
Wow. Thanks. You came up with another great way.I would suggest the steps on the photos.
Yuri, then you need to switch to the Admiralty models, there are a minimum of threads and you can only get by with PVA glueI went by Alexander’s suggestion. Here is what I got. Looks not bad. But this is something like a fourth attempt. I must admit I hate working with threads and CA glue. I would rather do some wood work.

The family they want to see the sails on the model. For them the model with no sails is incomplete.In the end, though I think the rigging will make it more interesting to the "common folk"(family) that will be looking at it.
I wound a thicker rope 0.34 mm diameter. Here is the result. But it takes me about 10 minutes per block! Isn’t it a bit too much?

I consider myself as bit lazy so that's why I'm trying to shorten the time on anything on my models...I wound a thicker rope 0.34 mm diameter. Here is the result. But it takes me about 10 minutes per block! Isn’t it a bit too much?
