British rigging blocks made of walnut wood are precisely machined using modern CNC technology and are designed for modelers who require high detail, historical accuracy, and reliable components for model ship rigging.
These wooden blocks have a drilled hole for threading the rope but do not contain a functional mechanism or freely rotating parts. They are therefore intended primarily for static models of historic sailing ships, where they serve as accurate details of the rigging system.
The British type of block is characterized by its more angular and sharply defined shape. This design became a common feature of Royal Navy rigging during the 18th century and is frequently used on models of British warships, frigates, and merchant vessels from this period.
Blocks are available in sizes from 3 mm to 10 mm.
To select the correct rope diameter, you can use the general recommendation table for each block size. However, if your model plans specify exact values, those should always take priority. Matching rope diameters for model ship rigging can be purchased here: ropes for model ships.
