10pcs Pear Wood Horn Cleats for Ship Models

Belaying points are where a rigged ship model either looks right or looks toy-like. These turned pear wood horn cleats give your running rigging a proper, period-correct place to finish, on the deck, the bulwarks or the base of the mast.

Key Features

Pear wood: a fine, even-grained hardwood that sands cleanly and takes stain, oil or varnish without blotching, so the cleats match the rest of your deck furniture.

Ready to fit: each cleat is shaped with a flat base for gluing, or can be pinned through with fine brass wire for a stronger joint under rigging tension.

10 pieces per pack: enough to fit out a full rail or a pair of masts in one size.

Available Lengths

4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm and 15mm. Smaller sizes suit 1/96 to 1/150 hulls; the longer cleats suit larger-scale period ships and boats.

Compatibility

For wooden ship kits and scratch-built sailing ships, boats and dioramas.
