Nothing can justify precision workmanship you are showing to us while building LaJacinte! I am not sure how much you can learn from me, but I have learned from you a lot!! Many thanks from all of us, Aleksandr.
“La Jacinthe” Schooner France -1:42 scale [COMPLETED BUILD]
Thank you, dear Jim, for such warm words.
I’ve made the winding of control blade. 
This is really looking good - question (as usual from my side - sorry for this):
Due to the fact, that these ropes are permanently exposed to the sea-water I would have thought, that such ropes are tarred, so black? But I am not sure about this.....

Greetings dear Uwe.
You are probably right, but I was guided by the work of others masters and in the vast majority of cases the ropes are not dark. So I've decided to make them light.
My best regards.

The minimum diameter of thread was 0,32mm that i got from the material i had, this was the one that I used for the ratlines.
I binded using the simple pattern.

Great work!
Thank you very much.
I installed jack-yard and standing ropes. 
Winding on of the bowsprit and the outrigger. 
Thank you very much dear colleagues.
I made a winding on sailyards of the gall and the sail boom. I’ve installed studding sail yard. 
It is looking well prepared - can only hardly wait to see the yards at their final place 
I made the studding sail yard too thick. After getting remarks from experienced Master - I remade them thinner, I hope now they have the right thickness. 
I have made parrels.
It’s all down the hill afterwards - I made ribs of a parrel, I oil-coated and pre-assembled it. 
Beautiful job!
Very good work. And many thanks for showing us, how you make it. Very informative log.
