Very neat indeed. There's something really satisfying about having good rope and finishing it well. One day I hope to achieve that!

If you are looking for really good, damn small, chains, the same ones from kilokits.com are recommended:

I got them in two sizes via Aliexpress:

Very useful. Thanks,

It's a bit tough at the moment. The unwillingness to do the cannon rigging is slowing me down a lot :-D

I did the shrouds as cablets, diameter 0.67 mm (still not quite sure whether the shrouds are cablets or fake "shroud laids", tendency cablets :-)).






Made the rudder tackle for the third time, blocks with served stropps.








And swapped the chains.

Glad you like it Tony :-)

A few more pictures :-) I use this little photobox and usually an iPhone. The following pictures were taken with a 13 Pro. Postprocessing I do with ACDSee because it is fast.

Yes, lightboxes are great to show off stuff. You always take great photos. I use Lightroom when I use the phone, but much prefer my small Panasonic camera mainly because that's what I'm used to.
