I like very much to participate in competitions and to be judged by judges. Especially when you get attention with models of small boats it is a great pleasure. There is no need to always build the "big ones" :-)

The little Yolle made 2nd place in the category "Russian Navy" in the "4to. Concurso Internacional Virtual de Modelismo Naval" held by "Sociedad Nacional de Modelismo Naval del Perú"

The small boat is now securely lashed on deck :-)

Started the standing rigging on my Russian Schooner Polotsk. Hanger & Shrouds. Shrouds as cablets and served were needed.

Although I have a lot of books, I sometimes just "build" and then unfortunately "question" things later. It was great to build a hanger (as the Master Korabel plan specifies) but unfortunately Schooner had no hanger (with mantle tackle) but as an equivalent the so-called mast-tackle (which Master Korabel mistakenly understood as backstay). Master Korabel is going to correct the plans and I have redone some ropes and made the Mast-tackle with blocks :-)

That can go away then ...sigh.






And for it the new Mast-Tackle :-)

Those thimbles always defeat me. Do you use a punch?

Time for an update between the diaper change, shes already 5 weeks old, time is running .. :-) I have started to "equip" the yards. For this, I use my self made rope and the blocks from Dry-Dock Models & Parts. Together with the Master Korabel blocks the best on the market. Syren blocks are now only mediocre, if at all.

Just small steps only, I have finished the four mast tackles with violin blocks and have been able to attach a few other blocks as well.
