This is the size "sheave" I ordered to be used to simulate the pulley system that can be seen through the triangular inspection window (I haven't gotten that far yet). |

This is the latest pricing on both the sheaves (grooved pulley wheel), and turnbuckles as well as their different sizes. |

What we call the grooved wheel portion "pulleys," they're listed as "sheaves" in the BlueJacket catalog. I've also included turnbuckles, but they're too large for my scale. Still, for anyone working on a larger model, this is truly a cheap alternative. Special note: their turnbuckles are non-functioning. |

The simulated "turnbuckles" can easily be made from small circular and tubular beads that are easily obtainable at almost all arts and crafts stores. It's just pinching the end of the thin half-round plastic strip to fit the beads and then glue t the end points. drilled out at the appropriate locations. |

As you can see, these half-found thin plastic strips offer near-airfoil shapes as the real steel cable rigging. |
