HMS Revenge 1577 by Amati , Victory Models

Started on the lanyards and setting up the shrouds. I know the lanyards were almost certainly black with preserving pitch but I have ignored that as light contrast looks better and who would know or care. Finally took the trouble to make myself a deadeye frame from decent wire after using a dodgy one which was too soft. This is 1mm brass and works well.

our gun belt is not properly installed, the trousers should be attached to the wing of the gun, and not to the ring at the back of the carriage.

Hi Winter,
I just re-read this thread and realized the example photo may be incorrectly rigged in post #96. The running out tackle had hooks on each block. I have not been able to find any contemporary based information where the block might have been seized to a ring on the carriage as shown in the modern reproduction in the photo. In the end, the use of the hook makes rigging the cannon much easier for us :)
