Draw a sketch so I can understand what you are referring to.
HMS Victory by Y.T.- Mamoli - 1:90 scale
It was not machined. It was done by hand with a needle file.
Chapeau for your netting too. Its a hard journey to made them. Your ship look beautiful.
Trying to master the rigging blocks. So far smallest I can do are 3 mm tall. But probably can do a little smaller. I feel their appearance now improved due to changing a cutter profile. Finally I started using a boxwood. Before I was afraid to screw up a rare material. Most important now I can make as many as I want and of any size and number of sheaves. Also any shape is possible. Victory rigging will require all sizes from 2.5 to 10 mm. If I wanted I could have mass produced them. Fortunately I am not in this business. Just having fun.

Yuri, in the anchor stops you need to make indentations for the anchor claw
I know. I intentionally did not do it as was afraid to screw them up. As they now installed it’s too late. The only tool that could do it good was a mill.
Good day
I receive a a present a Mamoli 1:90 HMS Victory, but it did not come complete. There are mising the sails and the parts that come on top of the cannon ports. I made some with dental cement, but they did not work. (see the pictures of them) Does anyone knows if they are sold or have an extra ones i buy them, to make molds and copy them? (Sorry for my english). And also plans or drawings of the sails? Regards >From Medellin; Colombia
Hi. Sails were not a part of a Mamoli kit I have. So there is no drawings. As to wriggles above gun ports I made my own template out of wood and copied it with some epoxy paste for all the whole ship. You can roll back this building log. I show some details of how I did it.

Thank you Bill, I will check it out. Regards
Here is my first experiment with making rigging. For me it was most difficult task I ever did in ship modelling. Took me half a day to make and a week to figure out how to do it. All these loops I had to do on assembled mast with the top glued on.

Well done, the masting and rigging is comming along nicely
Are all the pieces brass? What type of solder did you use? The brass cranes that came with by Corel cross-section kit and brass rod do not want to take resin-core solder and do not make a good sound connection.
A few questions:
I am at a point in my cross section build where I'm installing hammock cranes. Like you, I'm not thrilled with the pieces that Corel included in its kit. I made a jig similar to yours that was helpful. I tried to solder (resin-core) a brass planking nail to the bracket (brass as well) but it didn't hold at all well. The only thing that has worked so far is epoxy. I'd rather have something a bit more secure. Did you make yours using three parts? Resin or acid core or silver solder?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
