Beautiful work Sasha.
Can I ask how you blackened the anchor hoops and nails, were they in the anchor stock or did you remove them and re-install once blackened?

Thank you. I ink on the spot, but you need to first cover the wood with oil and wipe it off so as not to stain the wood. I have a blackening agent from a gun store

Maybe this will help. THis is a diagram from Historic ship Models by Mondfeld. Rather than the sheeve being in blocks connected to the tiller by the normal eyes and hooks, they were just put in blocks on the end of the tiller. :)

Hi Corsair, this is not the problem but , two channels (of pulleys) on the same piece how can they make independent rotation?Frank

They go in opposite directions so when one side pulls it creates "slack" in the other side.

Perhaps this visualization will help:

The captain and helmsman are standing behind the wheel wants the ship goes to port and is turning the wheel anti-clockwise.
Then the rope on the starboard side will wind up by the barrel and goes up. See the white arrow. When you follow all the white arrows you see that it pulls on the helm via the upper disc in the end of the helm. Then the helm follows the blue arrow to the right and the ship is turning to port.
The same time the rope on the port side is given length. Via the yellow arrows the rope is given lengt (created "slack" like Jeff wrote) via the lower disc in het helm.

Why not? These are two separate pulleys in one housing, simply located on one axis. Let's assume that there is a spacer between them, which is not visible at this scale.

That's what Sasha wants to explain: The two discs can rotate independently of each other.
Regards, Peter

Hey Sascha,

Once again, you've produced some really beautiful work here. It looks really good. You really get the best out of a build like this. I will continue to follow your kit.

Best regards
