Universal Fit Cleat Wooden Set (7.5 mm) laser-cut wood detailing kit (Master Korabel CL00075)
What Is It?
The Cleat Wooden Set (7.5 mm) by Master Korabel is a precision laser-cut kit of miniature wooden cleats designed for use in detailed scale model ships. These cleats, essential rigging components in full-size vessels, serve as anchor points for securing various lines such as halyards, sheets, and braces. In model shipbuilding, they are mounted on decks, masts, or bulwarks to replicate the authentic working structure of a sailing vessel's rigging system. Measuring 7.5 mm in length, these components are carefully scaled to ensure accuracy and visual realism. Each cleat is cut from high-quality wood to preserve the texture and authenticity of historical fittings. This set includes 8 pieces, suitable for mid- to large-scale wooden ship models that require robust and accurate rigging detail.

Historical Background
Cleats have been an indispensable part of sailing ships for centuries. In the Age of Sail, these simple yet essential devices were installed throughout a vessel to secure running rigging, controlling sails and spars with mechanical advantage. Crafted from hardwood or metal, cleats were strategically placed on deck, at the base of masts, or along bulwarks, and were often used in conjunction with belaying pins, blocks, and fairleads. On model ships, cleats serve the same purpose—anchoring scaled lines and creating a visual representation of rigging systems that defined naval architecture between the 1600s and 1800s. Master Korabel’s 7.5 mm cleats maintain this tradition in miniature form. Their laser-cut wooden construction ensures authenticity and ease of application for modelers recreating historical accuracy in their builds.
How to Use
- Choose mounting locations: Refer to rigging plans to determine accurate cleat placement (deck edge, mast base, rails, etc.).
- Test fit: Dry-fit each cleat on its intended surface to verify proportion and alignment.
- Glue in place: Apply a small amount of wood or CA glue to the cleat base and press onto the ship model. Hold for several seconds.
- Reinforce (optional): For extra strength, use a pin vise to drill a pilot hole and insert a micro pin through the cleat into the hull.
- Attach rigging lines: Tie or loop thread around each cleat to simulate working lines and secure rigging ends.
- Final finish: Leave natural for a wooden appearance, or paint/stain as desired to match your model’s deck detailing.
