US Frigate Essex - 1:50 [COMPLETED BUILD]

I guess this is a self made tumbler, or?
electric drill driven, I guess
How long does the blocks need in the tumbler until the edges are round?
and: do you add some additional material inside, or only the blocks?

Thank you Dave.

Yes Uwe, I made that simple tool which is electric drill driven to sand the small parts. 2 minutes is enough for the wood I use but perhaps the time may change depending on the kind of wood. And no I don't add any additional material inside but the inner surface of the drum is also covered with sandpaper.

Very good work with your boat and the hammock support frames - very accurate work
Will you add also some nets for storing the hammocks?

Thank you Uwe. If I can find suitable nets I will add.
 
Rigging has begun. The arrangement and run of the lines is being taken from the rigging diagrams in AOTS Essex.
I've completed the burton pendants, shrouds and stay on the lower mizzen mast. I have served the lines with a hommade serving machine.47.jpg1.jpg2.jpg4.jpg3.jpg5.jpg6.jpg7.jpg8.jpg9.jpg10.jpg11.jpg12.jpg
