The blocks that come with the kit are 8mm cut flat with laser cutter. I want to replace but I'm not sure of size. I think 8mm is a little big but not sure, and where do I shop for them?
8 mm sounds like too largeThanks zoly but I'm still not sure on size for 1:50
This is a very interesting and helpful table - great work!Dear modelers, if you are not sure of the size of the blocks you need for your model, use the basic table which I attached. The table is processed according to the information and the table from the book Historic ship models by Wolfram zu Monfeld. From pages 272 and 308. Rigging - calculation diameter of ropes and size of blocks you can download from my pages.
In this Excel table it is enough to enter the required scale of model and diameter of the main mast at the main deck. All other dimensions of ropes and pulleys are calculated on the basis of this table.
However, if you are interested I can prepare a specific plan for the sold scale, where you will have drawn the recommended pulleys according to this table or other historic dokument. Similar to the attached plan.
If you have further questions, write.
Sincerely, Radimir
