Seamen in shrouds

[Michelnou]

I wonder what is the best method to fix mettallic seamen figurines in ship model's shrouds.

 

What is your opinion about this subject ?

 

Thanks

What scale ?

 

Ideally the fingers should be bent to grab either the ratlines or the shrouds, depending on how the hands are oriented in the figurine. Of course legs and arms need to be properly positioned, so that they touch the ratlines. Remember that the ratline would sag under the weight of the man.

 

When the fingers are bent around the shrouds/ratlines then some matt varnish should be sufficient to secure the figurine to the rigging.
