James Pitt Posted July 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2015 Hi james here...........getting back into this ship modeling business I bought solid hull Elsie and Sultana. In the meanwhile Ive been "practicing on the plastic Black Swan......which I am hybridizing(sic). At any rate I do not want to use the plastic sails or shrouds(ratlines). So any suggestions regarding placing my own yards and spars? Ive not done that before, but as I say, this is a practice project. I know I can use the plastic parts for reference. I have Jackstay, Mastini, and Lankford, but from what Ive seen here......you folks put all that to practical use..... thanks james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwboland Posted July 12, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2015 James, I would suggest going to your local lumber or hardware store and getting dime hardwood dowel then stopping by the local craft store and getting some crotchet cotton and sewing thread for the rigging. If you're willing to wait you could also check out Chucks website (he's one of the long time regulars here). I understand he has some very nice rigging line available in varying sizes Quote Carl Completed builds: AL Bluenose II 1:75 Gallery Amati Hannah SIB 1:300 Gallery Current Build: Bluenose II - SIB - unknown scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Pitt Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted July 12, 2015 cw , thanks.......cotton is correct, I do plan a trip to my local hobby store for dowels, and by "Chuck" do you mean Passaro? james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
