As always a feast for the eyes, unfortunately I couldn't be there in Augsburg to see the work in real life, but I'm sure we'll manage to meet up one day.

Thank you very much for your continued interest and kind words.
But thanks also to everyone else for the LIKES.
After some time, a short and unspectacular continuation of my building report:
Equipment of the mizzen royal yard - Vergue de cacatois de perruche
With the outfitting of the mizzen royal yard, the smallest yard of the corvette, this chapter - outfitting the yards - now comes to an end.
The mizzen royal yard of the model has a length of approx. 11.3 cm and a thickness of approx. 2 mm in the middle. The tye has a diameter of 0.25 mm. For the block slings I used ropes with a diameter of 0.25 mm, which were served. The results can be seen in the two pictures:
I am currently researching the equipment for the gaff rigging. There are still a lot of details to clarify.
See you soon ...

Thank you for your motivating comment.
I would also like to say thank you for the LIKES.
Completion of the gaff with throat halyard - Corne avec drisse de mat
As already announced, I am currently working on the gaff rigging. To do this, it is necessary to add additional equipment to the gaff. I already made these some time ago. However, in addition to the metal block (signal haylard block) for the flag line on the gaff peak, a sheave for the sheet of the gaff topsail had to be installed, as can be seen in the following picture.
I also had to fit the jaw of the gaff with a heavy eyebolt.
This eyebolt, which is under tension, was secured from below with a wedge.
According to the information available to me (monograph, pictures of the Paris model), the throat halyard of the French corvette looked as follows:
The twin blocks required for the throad halyard have a length of 5.6 mm. As before, I use real disks for this size. I have also tried to reproduce the block axis as in the original.
I will continue soon ...

Outstanding work as usual.
Maybe I will learn to be this skillful one day in the future.

Your work is just marvelous Johann. A true privilege to watch its careful progression.
Absolutely beautiful, Johann. I can only agree with the previous speakers and I am always amazed at how you manage to do this in 1:48 scale.
As always impressed for your eye for details, Johann. My respect.
Regards, Peter

Thank you for your interest and everyone else for the LIKEs.
Continuation: throat halyard – Drisse de mat
We continued with the manufacture of the block strops for the throat halyard. The hook was tied into the lower double block with a thimble. The halyard with a diameter of 0.46 mm (ø 2 mm in the original) was attached to the block strop of the upper block using an eye splice.
I then quickly attached the gaff to the finished throat halyard, as can be seen in the following pictures.
