Resin 32: Blocks for standing and running Rigging: Over 2000 Parts in 3 Sets combined
Complete set rigging items for HMS Victory as around 1803. The sets consist of deadeyes, standing and running rigging.The size of the blocks ranges from 2 mm to 6.6 mm.
The number and size of the blocks is based on the description by David Steel in 1795. The numbering is based on McKay's Anatomy of the Ship. Via the names of the ropes the assignment to Longridge is also given. Sizes were slightly adapted for model building, brought into buildable dimensions and optimized for the respective size. Plus some variants and replacement blocks.
Note: The Excel list supplied only assigns the dimensions of blocks and ropes. It is not an independent rigging guide!
Parts are coming in unicoloured resin and need to be painted.
Here is a group picture of the dead eyes and the blocks of the standing rigging. Those 2 sets consist of about 885 pieces.
