Yes me again, a ? for you riggers!

Richard,
There are commercial companies that produce rigging blocks (2,3,4 sheave) etc, and in all the shapes and sizes that were used. I'll dig out some info of you wish - otherwise build them up by laminating thin plasticard shaped section and (alternate) punched discs. I used this method back in the day, it works but it's intensely tedious! Score a shallow groove and CA a wire eye round the block to represent the rope becket.
Steve
Thanks Steve, the ones I need are so small that I just need only a representative look and not an actual working one. I might even substitute wire for rope even.
Sorry to hijack your post Bob.

Cheers,
Richard
