Sjors Posted November 2, 2015 Author #1116 Posted November 2, 2015 Hello there...... I'm back After a long period of doing a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with modelbuilding I will try to go further where I left a few moths ago. Moved to another city but in the same country I have my own workshop again . I found out one thing......don't move the model !!!!!!!! I did that and a few repairs where in order. As you can see I have not done all the repairs on the ropes at the gun port lids. All the ropes are not straight anymore ! I have to change that. But I want to show you that I'm still do something. And I have only done the starboard side, so a small repair ( I hope ).

Sjors Posted November 2, 2015 Author #1126 Posted November 2, 2015 Thank you for the welcome back It's good to be back ! When I was looking at the pictures again I just feel a lot of shame about the ropes on the lids. That's not what I want to see. So I'll take all the rope away from the lids. And now I have to do it again.... And here comes the first question .....how can I make the ropes a little stiffer ? I have to fill up the wholes who are there at the moment so .....maybe glue ?????????? If someone knows the answer, please tell me Sjors mtaylor, Jack12477, GLakie and 1 other 4 Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

wim500 Posted November 2, 2015 #1127 Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Sjors, A bit of thinned timber glue makes your ropes stiffer and more easy to handle. It worked for me.

I was afraid for damage when I move them, so they are at a school close at the old house. All the young kids can watch it and I'm happy with that solution. @ Wim, Thanks. I will give that a try !
