    All--Thanks so much for the responses on this oddball question. I think if the name was 'ebroidered' so to speak, it would make sense. I have also seen these on maritime ship paintings but never in real life. I did some more digging and found 2 examples of a backward letters and several readable 'forward' lettering. So based on that search and your comments, I will leave it as reversed on one side.

    I have a model of the Atlantic from Bluejacket. It came with several paper flags in the kit for mounting at the top of the mast. One of them is a long streamer type flag with the ship name on one side. On the other side the ship's name is reversed. Is this accurate?

    Thanks Ange. That’s very useful information. Just so I am clear on your explanation (and sorry I have not mastered the jargon yet as well) I attached a snapshot of the plans with the lines #1 and 2 indicated going to the very top of the Topmast. If I understand, you put a loop in the ends of those standing rigging and put them over the Topmast (similar to other stays). If so, did you have to cut a shoulder in the Topmast to keep them from slipping down? Thanks again for your patience. Regards, Chris

    Hi Closehaul. Happy 2022. I know you have completed this model already and it turned out amazing by the way. I have been working on this kit as well and have benefitted from your wisdom. A question for which the directions are a bit vague and I could not quite make out from the photos. At the very top of the top mast there are the 3rd shroud, spring stays, and halyards that are rigged to that part of the mast. I know the halyards run through a sheeve (hole) but how did you secure the spring stays and run the 3rd shroud through the topmast. Was that with small holes? Thanks in advance and looking forward to your America model I saw you working on now. Regards, Chris

    Great work. I am starting on the same model soon I hope. May I inquire what paint color you used for the antifoul bottom paint. Thanks so much. Chris

    I am curious as to what is your preferred thread or product for serving lines. I did one model *my first with cotton sewing thread and was wondering if you or anyone else had a good recommendation. I will be starting this Atlantic model soon so I am following this build with interest. Great job and thanks for posting. Chris
