maaaslo got a reaction from EJ_L in Rat line tension tool
you might meant 1:100. otherwise, i don't think you have been building a boat. more like a city... just a pun...

maaaslo got a reaction from mtaylor in Model Shipway Ratline tool
i have an idea...
instead of tying the ratlines to each shroud separately, could it perhaps be done differently? use needle to poke your ratline through each shroud at the levels needed. for that, the ratline tool would be good. as you can tension your shrouds and you have guide on the sides for the spacing of the ratlines. then fix the spacing of the shrouds verticaly. when happy, soak with diluted glue. let dry. when dry, imitate clove hitch.
could that be done?

besides, i have a feeling that you could fit both sides of shrouds on at the same time. and the waste of ratline line would be down significantly.

Regarding the glue, in here, UK, there is Gorilla glue available, that i have really good experience with. It does dry with a slight yellow tint, but nit visible.

maaaslo got a reaction from Canute in Model Shipway Ratline tool
i wonder if this would work better, if there was a way of attaching part of the mast to the jig, so you could have exact length of he line used for the shrouds. there could be some sort of attachment allowing you to temporarily tie the deadeyes with correct spacing. like a dummy deck with dummy channels. but that would deny the whole point of doing it. as you would practically do the job twice. easier to do it on the ship. but the manipulation would be easier on the dummy deck...
nah, ignore me, just thinking out loud...

It was Fuso. I think Doris built Roma, but never posted the log anywhere. That was before she was active on forums.

1. is correct. Martanek's nick-name means "Little Martian".
so no, Martanek is no unicorn...
he once pushed his modeling different way. he tried to build Tirpitz, in scale 1:100. picture here: http://www.papirove-modely.cz/phpsource/full-image.php?showfoto=51211
if he ever achieved finishing lines, i have no idea.

maaaslo got a reaction from Scottish Guy in For Beginners -- A Cautionary Tale
I am guilty of doing exactly what most of you have warned begginers to not to - picking hard kits to built. Started a few Polish Shipyard paper sailing ships ( i was mesmerized and obviously wanted to try) failing misserably, but learned a great deal. With paper its easy, i build from copy (original kept for retirement) so printing replacement is easy. For the wooden kits i went for deagostini victory. Thats my current build. I have sodomised the hull, but have managed to rectify most of the offending bits up to one: the hull is twisted. Not badly but its there. That i cannot fix as i would have to start again and frankly, i cannot be bothered. This kit is for learning. I spen only about GBP200 to get it so it doesnt bother me. As a side build i picked 18century long boat... and that is a mistake. Even though its well documented kit, has been finished plenty times i cannot get further than starting to plank. Its too flimsy for me. So put that aside, the whole experience also depends on how big your fingers are
