Your work is amazing... I started on the Heller Victory in March of 2013. At the very beginning, I was interrupted by Cancer and had to postpone my build. Well, Great news, I beat it and have been resuming my build, a kind of therapy if you will. I came to the quick conclussion, just like you, that certain parts had togo. I have been searching the web, reading posts, visiting websites, trips to the hobby stores, etc. I bought the etch parts from Dafi, and to all out there, I cannot highly enough reccomend them for this build. As for the blocks, deadeyes, and ropes, I would greatly appreaciate your help. I saw that you used Syrens products which was already on my purchase list. My question to you specifically is: what size, color, type (cotton, linen, nylon) and where did you purchase the ropes are you using for the shrouds, cannons, and seizings? I think that all the followers of your build would find this information extremly useful in their builds. I look foward to your reply if at all possible.
