More Shrouds and Deadeyes

Hi,

I worked a bit last week on the Black Pearl rigging. There is some progress on the fore mast standing rigging! The starboard side is now completed. You can admire it in the next pictures.

This is how the lower part looks on the model. The shroud's deadeyes are now connected to the channel's deadeyes using the laniards.

Shrouds and Deadeyes

Hi All,

I am back again with more updates about the Black Pearl model construction. Be aware, I might get technical this time :-P.

Today I am going to tell you about Shrouds. What are they, what are they used for, how one can model them.

Let's start. Shrouds are ropes that go from the top of the masts to the ship body. Their role is to support the masts and keep them in position. Since a picture always says more than words, I present you my first pair of shrouds.
