The ends of the Boomkins have a DeadEye and a Block with a Ring on the ends.
I Superglued some Brass Eye Rings on the ends of 2 Blocks.
I used a Clove Hitch with an extra loop to secure the Deadeye to the Boomkin. Same with the rest of them.
I was up in the air whether to install the Gun Carriage Tackle or not. I installed one on the Port side Midship Gun Carriage.
It was a bit of a hassle for something that will be barely visible. I suppose I’ll keep doing them to balance it out.
Like a lot of stuff, it’s more suggestive than 100% accurate and to scale.
I have to drill the holes in from the outside.
I kind of like the ends of these Eyebolts sticking out. Almost simulates a Bolt with Cotter Pin.
I just discovered that by using long pieces of wire for the side bolts I’m able to control it to feed it through the hole and makes it a lot easier!
You know… I know a lot of guys go into more detail with the Gun Tackle… Actually going to the trouble of making the block and tackle for it. But this is as good as it’s going to get. Hmmm???… 🤔😲😳
