It's time to install the ruslen. This is an element of the standing rigging that is subjected to significant stress on the models. Therefore, I not only glued them in place but also reinforced the attachment with metal pins. Details of the ruslen in the beech set. I pasted them with pear slats, and that they entered the page between the barhout in thickness, I had to mill the thorn along the entire length.
Instead of using the knee from the kit, I carved them from mahogany plates, giving them a smooth, curved shape. In the kit, as well as in the drawings, they have a simple triangular shape and appear rather crude.
ps: And yet, Google translates nautical terms from Russian to English terribly. You have to constantly monitor the translation of ship parts names, otherwise you get complete gibberish. It's terribly inconvenient.
