Thankyou Carl they look Brilliant I've posted a PM Hi All just arrived at forest of Dean, how lovely is this place and accommodation not to bad either! The old adage "You cant take it with you" . Heres a few pic cannons now done going to do some touchcing up and then set the lower masts for shrouds . Not going to go too mad on it this week due to several family visitors but will do a bit - gotta say thanks once again to the people who have been so kind (you know who you are) Ant antswain attached the following image(s): Current builds :

It took a bit of head scratching and a lot of help from Johncal (fair play to him) but i seem to be making decent ropes each time now - hes right you need to attach a drill because you will be there for hours making one rope. But i have not yet found the need to rebuild it out of plastic and i am using 5 strand ropes on the shrouds. - that i think depends on personal preference of what fits your model. If you need any help set it up and get in touch - im more than willing to help if you want to pm me it might be easier to go through it by phone no probs m8. all the best Ant Current builds :

Hi Ant. Rigging of carriage tackle: URL=http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=281880img058.jpg]  [/URL] Sorry,it's in French. crochet = hook muraille = bulwark affût = carriage. Right: fastening of rope around the single block. Now, fasten the fall of the tackle (4) between the two blocks as follows:  Otherwise the gun could move and could be very dangerous for the sailors.

Thankyou Alain I Have fully rigged the underdeck cannon but this is more about time constraints if you read the earlier posts you will understand. If i get the time i will do this as it is very useful information. Thankyou once again Cheers Ant Current builds :
