Gregory Posted July 23, 2017 #61 Posted July 23, 2017 Quote Hence my question on how you hold the ratlines in place until glued . When I have done this, I put drops of white glue on the shrouds, and then, lay a small piece of line across the drops of glue on the shrouds to form the ratline, wiggle it a bit from side to side to pick up the glue, and it will stay in place until the glue dries if not disturbed. I can make a pic, if this is not clear. mtaylor and S.Coleman 2 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon
Steen Posted February 22, 2020 #63 Posted February 22, 2020 Too much gluing is often very glittering. I think the problem of curving down between shrouds that are far apart is more urgent. So far, I have found out to change the direction of the clove hitch so that the out coming thread is pointing downwards from both sides of the larger distances between shrouds. But even so it is difficult to make them look naturally hanging. Maybe someone have ideas to solve that problem? Quote

With my scale 1/128...this is the manner in which I attach my ratlines to the shrouds Rob Gregory 1 Quote Current build: Build log: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25382-glory-of-the-seas-medium-clipper-1869-by-rwiederrich-196 Finished build: Build log: of 1/128th Great Republic: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13740-great-republic-by-rwiederrich-four-masted-extreme-clipper-1853/# Current build(On hold): Build log: 1/96 Donald McKay:http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4522-donald-mckay-medium-clipper-by-rwiederrich-1855/ Completed build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/475-196-cutty-sark-plastic/ The LORD said, "See, I have set (them) aside...with skills of all kinds, to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts."
