Shrouds and ratlines.
How are you tying the ratlines? I started a build of this same kit years ago and I am not a master you like you. I wanted to do something a little more pretty than the ugly molded ratlines that come with the kit. How are you tying yours? I had a problem that the shrouds were not stiff enough to tie to reliably.

Thanks for the welcome lamarvalley, my current project is a Revell Cutty Sark (1:96) that I started years and years ago. I know that isn't much being plastic and all. I am about to graduate college next month and then I am starting another Revell Cutty Sark. My main goal there is just to get good at painting and such and I will do a build log. My overall goal is to begin modelling in wood maybe next year or so. The main thing holding me back is just cost. I am following your build log and several others too so that I can learn all I can about modelling with wood. I am extremely impressed with your workmanship too! Please, keep posting lots of photos!

Hey, I am new here, and I am not the greatest modeler (though I hope to become one over the coming years). I just wanted to comment on the blackening of brass: washing all of the parts with detergent and then acetone may help a lot. Even the slightest bit of oil, even if it is just from your skin, will impede the blacking process (called bluing in other disciplines).
