Hello Mirka. The cutters are homemade, a model maker friend gave them to me. My locksmith was very slow.. Sleep

Thank you very much Johann. I often look at your building and look for inspiration. Ondras;)

I have been making tackle pulley halters for a long time.
I chose a system of tying and gluing the tapered ends of the cables.. Sleep

As I reported, I enjoyed a weekend in Sweden with the main goal, the Vasa Museum. https://www.vasamuseet.se/cs
I had been preparing for this for about 40 years and it was worth it. When I arrived, my watch reported increased blood pressure and heart rate... I spent over 4 hours here, I could have stayed longer, but I took into account the company of my son. I walked around the ship several times and compared the beams and planks with the strips from which we model them... Having the ship about three meters away from each other is unreal. I tried to look at and photograph every detail. Simply indescribable, at the end a very long viewing with contemplation.. Explosion

I've made some progress on the boat. Front and main tackle finished, I'm tuning the Stays and the Schrouds are waiting for me..Thumbs-Up

Dear Ondras! The turnbuckles in the deadeyes should be the same color as the shrouds and stays. Your shrouds and stays are black, so the turnbuckles should be black too. You've already done this on the stays. The thing is, after the shrouds and stays were installed, they were carefully coated with resin, along with the deadeyes.
If the shrouds are tarred but the turnbuckles are left untarred, the structure will still collapse under the influence of water.
