Yes @Uwek I can only agree with you and this little notebook is fantastic, you can always find it again in Johann's diaries and it fascinates me personally again and again.

Hello,
Thank you in advance for your nice comments and the many "likes".
I am always happy and motivated by positive feedback. Constructive criticism and suggestions are still very welcome.
Continuation: Standing rigging for jib and outer jib boom - Bâton de foc et bâton de clinfoc
First I had to attach the jib boom. I lined the jib boom passage in the cap of the bowsprit with a specially split leather (d=0.2 mm). The jib boom was placed on the prepared wooden pad or spacer so that it runs parallel to the bowsprit. Then I lashed the jib boom to the bowsprit analogous to bowsprit gammoning.
I added small details to the cap, as can be seen in the last picture. These are single blocks (l = 3.5 mm) on each side for the bowlines of the fore topsail. Next to the block you can also see the leather lining mentioned at the beginning.
Sequel follows …

Johann, so many of us attempt to reproduce the details of a ship at scale. You have accomplished what we merely dream of. Unthinkable precision and skill.

Dear Johann
I'm absolutely agree with the compliments of the friends before me, especially when I'm reading on your work in the respected German forum https://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/,
I have reached page 90. It is simply a pleasure to learn your most impressive and accurate work

I envy,
Why are these threads light colored?Aren't these threads tarred?
Hello Thomas, I wanted to write the same thing yesterday. It's impressive how Johann makes it, he actually only very carefully removes the top layer.
okey,Was there a leather wrap on that date?
Hi Oktay Yaylacikoral!
This leather sheathing as shown by Johann @archjofo can be seen in the book "Modeles historiques, Musée de la Marine" of Ancre, Volume 1, pages 178 to 191 on photos of the museum model.
Attention dear modeling friends! This rigging type does not apply to every nation, ship or century. Do not have doubts about your models!
Best regards
Thomas

Hello,
sorry I'm only now able to respond to your question.
Thankfully, our two colleagues have already answered this question so far. Also many thanks to Thomas for the wonderful pictures, which I didn't know either.
I would just like to add that at that time, and still today, many elements in the rigging were leather-coated. The leather was not tarred but greased to protect it from the wet.
For model making I use fine goatskin that I split again to about 0.2 mm thick. For this I made a simple device, as can be seen in the following picture.
