    Thanks again... @ Bug, Work is not that bad ....it cost only a lot of hobby time ..... @ Wayne, The Gnomes want to have a zoo now @ Piet, Why not crow-feet on the Surabaya ????? You can do it !!!!!!!! @ Mark, Thanks !! @ Greg, Also thanks and I shall try to answer your question. When I make the lanyards ( the ropes between the deadeyes ) i tie them down with a single knot. When all the lanyards are on i just let it go that way for say a day. Then I un-knot ( right word ?) the knot and put a little tension to each shroud. When all of them are done I let is go for another day and then I repeat myself. After 3 or 4 days there is no stretch anymore in the rope and it stays like that. I finish the lanyard to the shroud and keep them the same hight. Is this answering your question? If some else has a better explanation ,please be my guest !!!!!!!! @ Hennie, I think that I am in the shadow of your Aggy !!!!!! The only thing that I can do is my best. And I know that there are builders who wants it to be "historical " right. But that's not for me. I enjoy it and that's for me what counts. Sjors
