    Have a look at this post from Danny on doing them the right way .http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4179-what-knots-on-ratlines-edited-by-admin/?p=124778 As for spacing , using a spacing template behind the shrouds will help keep everything even . A link to how Danny did this on his Vulture build.http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/230-hms-vulture-by-dan-vadas-1776-148-scale-16-gun-swan-class-sloop-from-tffm-plans/?p=271605 Don't use CA on the knots but a mixture of diluted white glue (50/50 glue and water . Hope this helps. David

    Fine looking model you have built As for fuzzy lines , you can run the rigging line through a block of wax or if the rigging is already on , a 50/50 mix of water and white glue . Dip a cotton ball into the solution , squeeze out the excess and run it over the rigging . David

    Lovely work indeed Danny . Are you going to keep this one or pass it on to the family / museum ? And just a bit off topic , did you get around to doing anything on the stage coach ? Was looking forward to see how she turned out . Dave

    Mark . I am half way through the first planking on this model of the Cutty Sark . So far i have no complaints . The contents look good and the timber supplied is of good quality . If you have a look in the gallery , there is the same model built by Fredrica . Her finished model is fantastic . Dave

    Mark , Pen and Sword books still have it up on their website for pre-order . From what i just read , it's not being published until December 30th. Pen and Sword might be slow it taking it down , I don't know . But i haven't read anywhere of it not being published. Cheers David

    It never occurred to me Sherry . Now that I look at the bottom of everyone's post , I just noticed they all have a link to their builds . Mine must be the only one that doesn't . Will rectify that tonight . David
