That's what all smart modelers do!Thanxs, Johan. I will make the next pictures from more distance

Sometimes the scale will not permit certain details. Try as we might, they don't look correct out of scale. Nothing wrong with plan B.
You are right, Dean. And that scale is related to the eyes, hands, tweezers and glasses…….Sometimes the scale will not permit certain details. Try as we might, they don't look correct out of scale. Nothing wrong with plan B.

And do I have to make them unsharp …….?

Having a plan B is never superfluous...Sometimes the scale will not permit certain details. Try as we might, they don't look correct out of scale. Nothing wrong with plan B.
First finished the ratlines on the starboard side and then the port side:
I'm getting better and better. The iPhone uses quite a fish-eye perspective. The horizontal position of the lines is somewhat distorted.
Seen as a whole, they are still visible:
I am very curious how these size ratlines will show with the thicker shrouds of the lower mast.
There is a nice routine in knots again. Let's see what I am going to do now, because the blocks are still at customs..... gggrrrrrr So still no deadeyes.

I find these ratline- and topshroud rope diameters far more convincing than YQ'S proposed ones.
Thanxs, Johan. It took some time, energy and the help of other members, but now we have something.I find these ratline- and topshroud rope diameters far more convincing than YQ'S proposed ones.

Peter, might I ask about the blocks you chose? Who you bought them from?
I hope I get that far and if I do, I intend to buy a goodly number of blocks to rig much more like on the MS Lankford drawings and the Chapelle Fishing Schooners book dwgs.
Oops and meant to add that your top mast work is the gold standard.

Hi Alf. I ordered the blocks and deadeyes by Dry Docks of Zoltan:
Dry-Dock Models & Parts - Dry-Dock Models & Parts is open for business
Hello guys, I just let you know that the website is open for business, Pearwood blocks are in stock. https://drydockmodelsandparts.com/
shipsofscale.com
I got the details and measurements of the ropes and blocks also from those MS drawings and Chapelle's book. That last one is as a encyclopedia.
I discussed a lot with Dean @Dean62 who was also following those drawing for some extra parts and details. Please take a look at his completed build.

Thanks for the lead, I'll check them out. You're up late this (your time) evening. The MS dwgs are pretty nice, I'm using them for the spar detailing. And here's my afternoon break
Well well, Alf, that are very nice items for having a afternoon break.
That way you can look at the work you've done with satisfaction.Regards, Peter
Got to work with the shrouds of the lower mast. To see if my intended rope is in proportion.
A piece wrapped around the top and hanging down clamped:
In detail to the mast top:
Signed off at the bottom white mast band. Until then, I'm going to cover the rope for this test.
A few months ago I had bought this 'Serving Machine' (RopeWalk) on Ali. Assembled and tensioned the rope:
I will be doing a review soon with my findings.
In detail the covered rope:
This is what it looks like on the mast stop:
As far as I'm concerned, successful. For further editing I really need the deadeyes. Because I will also cover the ropes on the underside around the deadeyes. At the schooners themselves they were there wrapped with canvas. I want to imitate that.
I have to tip some point on the mast head with the white ink ....., but only when everything if finished there.

WOW!
I had kind of thought I might try hand 'winding' much like the thread wrapping of a Spey or Dee salmon fly but now after seeing what you've done I'm not so sure. One of my fly vises is fully rotatable but even so . . .??
Thanxs, Alf. I was pleasantly surprised with the result. And winded in a few minutes.
regards, Peter
Great work Peter! I know you are excited to be placing the masts and finally seeing the shroud lines go on. I hope your blocks arrive soon!Got to work with the shrouds of the lower mast. To see if my intended rope is in proportion.

Thanx, Dean. This part at Schiphol airport for the import of goods is also a mess.
In the meantime I can prepare more and more on this mast. Then also the foremast ......... I'm not out of work for the time being . Maybe I'll get to furled sails too .Regards, Peter
