Thank you. Cannot be happier, today! We learn from each other.
@donfarr Hi Don, larger size block might not be a good idea. While they will be better to work with, they will be out of scale. Depending on the rigging line you will use, they might look out of proportion which might make rigging appearance bad. You probably better stick with blocks sizes supplied by the kit, as the suggestion.
Hi Jim, I will post some pictures today to show you what I am talking about. THANKS Don
