Good afternoon. This morning I did some more work on my tiller. I “rigged” the tiller cable via the tension block and tackle.

This cable will run around the drum on the ships wheel when I get to the upper deck.

Some pics:

In the last pic you can see the block and tackle (3mm single and 3mm double configuration) tied off to the cleat.

Precision, precision, precision. Well done, Grant.

I got mine to work on my Medea build (Enterprise class) but I used rope that was too thin (trying to gauge scale and got it wrong). So now it is literally hanging by a thread around the drum and I don't demonstrate it to people any more...

I wish this kit had come out when I started blundering along with my scratch build nearly 6 years ago. So much is revealed that wasn't in the plans I was able to obtain.

Thank you very much Ian. To scratch build is at another level to where I am at the moment, although I do like to add and modify the kits a lot to achieve some more details. It is rather nice to have the rudder work when I pull the tiller cable. Cheers Grant
