  1. Excellent It will be my tutorial and guide to my HMS Pandora bulding log. Best wishes, Paweł
  2. onto the rope slightly above the dead eye. And then twist it. But try on the separate rope first please. You can tie something and experiment with the glue.
  3. they are dead eyes. you can put a drop of CA glue and twist them to the demanded position. But try at first in a spare thread to practice before you start dealing with your model. Write about the effects!
  4. Kester, thanks for your help. I have opened my HMS Pandora plans and they drew more accurate sketches. You are correct. The line is attached to the block (it has a loop in its part). Why does Mantua is so complicated?
  5. Oh dear, I forgot about the photo... Anyway take a look at rope 21 and 25 as well. It's a similar matter.
  6. I don't know where to tie the spare end... (one to the belaying pin and the second one????)
  7. Another question: take a look at rope 21. It runs through two blocks. Is it possible to make a knot that cannot slip through the hole and the spare part of the rope will go smoothly through the second block and to the belaying pin????? I hope I have made myself clear enough...
  8. a little progress... I'm proud of the eye-spliced ropes. I read that it could also be a bowline hitch.
  9. Duff your comments are really interesting. I know that SM is a bit of S-F model. I wanted to get the overall clue... and I got it - thanks to all of you So I will have to decide what to do because now I really don't know which solution would be the most suitable. Duff, if there are no blocks the rope's end can be attached to the belaying in itself (correct?). The shape is like presented (I'm not an expert in ships, though) but I'm going to furl it a bit therefore it won't be so visible. Look there please http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2906-santa-maria-by-jastrz%C4%85b-mantua-scale-150/page-3#entry127808 Regards, Paweł
  10. Sewing sails... I had to replace this silky cloth (attached by mantua- YUK!) by more natural-looking material.
  11. Thanks for your comment. It's helpful . There will be more questions I think according to the poor version of the manual attached to the model
  12. Thanks for your comments. In my opinion, mantua gave a very poor illustrations. Sometimes they're a bit hazy therefore I'm going to ask you more about the rigging problems. When I attach the sail and yard to the correct place I will post my results. Once again - thanks a lot
  13. My Dear Friends!!! (Mark and Kester) Thanks a lot for your support! I was thinking about an eyebolt, however, it was not mentioned in the sketches of the ship (Santa Maria). I will stick to the eyebolt. I can't visualise it Mark What do you mean by another yard?) Anyway you help me a lot Let's stay in contact, Regards, Paweł
  14. Hello Friends, I need your help. Look at the ropes 62. Why are they doubled????? How to attach them to the belaying pin? Any comments?
