Hello Mirka. The cutters are homemade, a model maker friend gave them to me. My locksmith was very slow..

Fantastic work!

Thank you very much Johann. I often look at your building and look for inspiration. Ondras

I'm continuing on blocks..

Dear Ondras! You are already a champion!.. At least for me!
I'm sure Mr. Rolf Hoeckel would be pleased to see his drawings in your capable hands!

 

[Ondras71]

The set of all blocks for the ship is complete..



Hooks for Tackle blocks made..

 

[Ondras71]

I have been making tackle pulley halters for a long time.
I chose a system of tying and gluing the tapered ends of the cables..











Now I'm already preparing for a weekend trip to see this beauty.. https://www.vasamuseet.se/cs

As I reported, I enjoyed a weekend in Sweden with the main goal, the Vasa Museum. https://www.vasamuseet.se/cs
I had been preparing for this for about 40 years and it was worth it. When I arrived, my watch reported increased blood pressure and heart rate... I spent over 4 hours here, I could have stayed longer, but I took into account the company of my son. I walked around the ship several times and compared the beams and planks with the strips from which we model them... Having the ship about three meters away from each other is unreal. I tried to look at and photograph every detail. Simply indescribable, at the end a very long viewing with contemplation..



I've made some progress on the boat. Front and main tackle finished, I'm tuning the Stays and the Schrouds are waiting for me..

 

[Ondras71]

This is how I tie the Deadeyes to the main Shrouds. Due to the different distances between the upper and lower Deadeye, I used the system that modeler "archjofo" uses when building his beautiful rigs. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/1029-la-créole-1827-by-archjofo-scale-148-french-corvette/page/50/

It is a log with a diameter of Deadeyes, which is at the correct height even with different inclinations of Shrouds..











Then another binding..



Result ok..

Dear Ondras! The turnbuckles in the deadeyes should be the same color as the shrouds and stays. Your shrouds and stays are black, so the turnbuckles should be black too. You've already done this on the stays. The thing is, after the shrouds and stays were installed, they were carefully coated with resin, along with the deadeyes.
If the shrouds are tarred but the turnbuckles are left untarred, the structure will still collapse under the influence of water.

Hello iutar. The light ropes are just for measuring, the dark ones will be placed in the end. But thank you for the timely response, it is often needed..

I tied the block that holds the front yard. The tie is right next to the main stay pulley..





Before gluing the masts, I tied the boat back, as I was advised on another forum. I put in a thicker rope and made smaller deadeyes straight away..



All sizes created by me..







Deadeyes of the foremast measured..
