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.

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
