Hi Sjors,

 

It looks like you've pulled the extra ratlines a bit too tight - the aft shroud has distorted quite a lot. The shrouds should be VERY tight before you tie the ratlines, or it will always happen. Can you still adjust the shrouds tighter?

Sjors..... thank you for the picture  ..... between you and me , I like the way you had the ratlines the first time . I know it may not be correct, but to me they looked much better, for some reason it looks a little crowded right now, but that's just me, you do what you think is best . Danny is right about the shrouds though, they are being pulled in. What do you call those guys that help you with the ratlines , Gommes??. Well you might have to start paying them some overtime to get things straightened out    

[Sjors]

@ Danny,

 

Thank you for the tip…..

I see exactly what you mean…..

I shall see what I can do.

I thought the shrouds where that tight that I can play on it like a guitar…..

Maybe it is better to remove the extra ratlines and tight them up again but not to tight?

I will see what's happening….

 

@ Frank,

 

Your welcome for the picture 

I like it also how it looks without the extra ratlines but the distance is indeed to far form each other.

So…..extra ratlines needed.

Sometimes you have to do things that you don't like but to make it more real you have to do it .

That's also modelling.

Hi Sjors,

With doubled lines it's more beatiful... Really...

Have you treated the ratlines with any solution? The upper ratlines look rigid a little so to say... If the shrouds are tight enough, the upper ratlines would be sagging, I suppose...

[Sjors]

HI Ferit,

 

I have use a little beeswax before I put them on.

 

I have re-do a few ratlines and I hope that this is it what Danny means.

2 pictures….one a little further and one closer.

So let me know what you are thinking of it.

If you don't like it, please say so.

I don't remove them again         

 

[Kevin]

much better, my friend

[Ferit]

And you are a wise man, I know... But you too know that...

The one who knows and knows that he knows, is a leader... Follow him!...

You know that you have done it perfectly and don't need any correction and after, you ask me if there is something incorrect!...    ...

I have to follow you, Commodore...

I think Ferit gets it right... they look good... and you know it .

Mine, well, haven't attacked them yet.... maybe later today as it is only 6:30 in the morning and I should be able to carve out a bit o' time.

[gjdale]

That's looking much better Sjors.

 

One tip you might like to try that will help to avoid the problem you just corrected, is to tie every fifth ratline row first, then go back and tie the row in the middle of these (ie the third row) then come back and tie the remainder (ie 2nd and 4th rows). It sounds complicated but is really very easy. I used different coloured highlighter pens on the card template to help keep things straight in my head. Doing it this way helps to keep an even tension on the shrouds and prevents them forming an hour-glass shape.

Hi Buddy,

 

That's looking much better now mate, good fix and thanks for the pictures.

 

Frank can be very demanding at times, he really must learn to be patient

[popeye the sailor]

they look good now Sjors........your fidgeting has really paid off.   getting them just right is hard to do.  as long as your happy with them, they will stand the test of time      nice job!

[trippwj]

Very nice re-do, Commodore!  The shrouds hang nice and straight now, and the ratlines look realistic - not perfectly tight but just the right amount of sag.  Please congratulate the gnomes - they done good!

 

Frank should be happy now - plenty of pictures the past few days!

[Sjors]

Hi All,

 

I can finally answer you….

I had a broken shift today so between the shifts I was at home and re-do the ratlines.

Then posted it and I want to give a replay….wrong ! I had to run for my second part of my shift 

Almost to late!

 

@ Kevin, Thanks

 

@ Ferit,

 

Where you gonna get it is a riddle for me but I like it 

And you follow me….Is it not the other way around?

I look at your build and try to copy that 

 

@ Randy,

 

You can do it !!!! I know you can !!!!!

And early in the morning is no problem if you had the rest of the day for your self…...

I'll be waiting for an update from you.

 

@ Grant,

 

Thanks also.

And thanks for the tip !

I shall look in Anja's her colour box to see what I can found   

This tip goes also in the TIP book !

And lucky for me….I have a lot more to do to find out if it works...      

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Thanks and also thanks that you like the pictures…..

I think that Frank have to listen to you….or not ?

 

@ Popeye,

 

Thank you Sir 

I'm happy with them….I only want to know if Danny is also happy with it   

He is my guide line for this one…….     ( And the following 100 builds  )

 

@ Captain Wayne,

 

Thanks, thanks and thank you…...

The Gnomes has taken a few……after your words !

So thank you for that ! No I can do them by myself…..Thank you again !

And if Frank is not happy then………..

[Ferit]

The translation may be incorrect... It's said that this a Chinese proverb...

 

Who doesn't know and knows he doesn't know is a child... Teach him...

Who knows and doesn't know he knows is in sleep... Wake him up...

Who doesn't know and doesn't know he doesn't know is a stupid... Stay away...

Who knows and knows he knows is a leader... Follow him...

 

You are the fourth...

That looks a LOT better Sjors  - well done . Good tip from Grant about tying every 5th one first as well.

 

  Danny

[riverboat]

Yes ! ........ I am very HAPPY! ........   :D             .... Hey, and don't forget, you are the one that started "where's the pictures"   I like Grant's idea on doing the ratlines . I think I'll try that on my next build. If you try his method let us know how it works out.

[augie]

Wow----- I missed all the action!

 

The redone ratlines look very good.  Well done, Sjors.

[mtaylor]

Børge

[Sjors]

Thanks again all     

I'm reading this with a BIG 

 

@ Danny,

 

I will give it a go with the tip of Grant.

You never knows if it works….

 

@ Frank,

 

When it works, Iet you know !

And yes , I started the yell for pictures but is that saying that you also have to do that ?     

 

@ Augie,

 

I'm happy that you are home again!

And no worries, I save the action for you 

And thanks !

 

@ Mark,

 

Thank you also 

 

@ Børge,

 

Thanks also my friend.

You are still in Sweden or all ready at home ?

 

[SkerryAmp]

So very impressed with those ratline Sjors.  They really look great!!

 

Am working out how to get the gnomes here when I am ready for them - not sure how to pack them for the long trip.  Maybe some of those cotton balls people keep talking about =)

 

Well Done sir!! Well Done!!

 

 

-Adam

[Sjors]

Thanks Adam,

 

I just put them on a ship your way.

They are very little so I think that the Corsiar can handle them….

Sjors,

 

I'm traveling so thought it would be a good time to catch up on builds. When I tried to read and understand the dialogue that did not include pictures I just got dizzy so I think I shall just wait for more pictures.....

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

[Sjors]

Hi Adam,

When one side is finished, there is coming a picture again…..

I'm just getting more confused........

[Sjors]

Hi Adam,

 

I think I'm the one who is confused…...

When you go 1 or 2 pages back you are seeing pictures that I posted.

It's all about ratlines and ratlines and ratlines and ratlines…..
