John Allen Posted February 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2018 Linen or cotton braided fishing line. Has anyone used the above in rigging, pretty cheap, limited in diameter but a rope walk would solve that. mtaylor 1 Quote John Allen Current builds HMS Victory-Mamoli On deck USS Tecumseh, CSS Hunley scratch build, Double hull Polynesian canoe (Holakea) scratch build Finished Waka Taua Maori War Canoe, Armed Launch-Panart, Diligence English Revenue Cutter-Marine Model Co.

JerseyCity Frankie Posted February 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 6, 2018 I’ve got some antique linen three-stranded fishing line and it’s FANTASTIC. However it’s thick so suitable only for large scale models or anchor cable or standing rigging on smaller ones. But it’s a beauty to behold with great (right-hand) lay, good color and ZERO fuzz. mtaylor 1 Quote Quote Niagara USS Constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Linen fishing line is extremely reasonable and it seemed like a good alternative still cannot find anybody that has used it. mtaylor 1 Quote John Allen Current builds HMS Victory-Mamoli On deck USS Tecumseh, CSS Hunley scratch build, Double hull Polynesian canoe (Holakea) scratch build Finished Waka Taua Maori War Canoe, Armed Launch-Panart, Diligence English Revenue Cutter-Marine Model Co.

Richard Griffith Posted February 6, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 6, 2018 Hey John, I have used it, for restorations of pond models and a couple of Leclerc mantle type models (The America and a 3 masted schooner). It is a joy to use and behold. Ditto to Frankie's report above. Duff mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
