US Brig Syren by svein erik - Model Shipways - 1:64 - 18 gun brig


Recommended Posts

thanks for likes!

 

i did make a time ago the main and fore lower course yard and did wat chuck instrukted to make the footropes with stirrups.

i used wire for this, but it was crapy dunn of me, so i desided to re make this .

i seved a lenght of wire and make the stirrups , drilled a hole and glued it in

i wil also use rope here, but in the photo it is not on yet.

am also making the footrope using rope ( tan 0.18)   with splice .

after i dunn all the rigg here i vil see if this is the way to go for me😊
