Much appreciated, John. Thanks for looking!
JB is in business but no wooden regular blocks for sale,at least I could not find any.
RB Model only makes large wood blocks, I bought some fro m a site that was Classic Model .com, but it only comes up now as 404 not found,
Yep ,a few weeks ago classic model site was still functional
Nice site, Thank you Zoly!
That sad news...fewest supplier where left.

Attaching the fore and aft sails, the blackened brass rings attached,
Up haul and down haul ropes rigged, just have to attach the ringd to the lower stay,
Pulling the rigging tight, still have to attach the rings,
Several stays in place,

Thats all the fore and aft sails in place, still have a little bit of temporary rigging in place just to hold things till final
tying off,
The main sail with most of the ropes in place ready for attaching, all the reefing ropes will be brushed downards
when the rigging is finished,
Just a quick view of some of the crew waiting for their Suntan to be applied etc,
The main mast sails now attached, starting to have a few ropes hanging around,
Making left handed rope for the shrouds and stays,
Close up I will blacken it with acrylic paint,
and another view of several different sizes, these ones are right handed for the general rigging,

a couple of shots with most of the square sails in place,
view of the bow sprit rigging,
and some general views of the deck area's,
