dafi Posted February 19, 2013 #1 Posted February 19, 2013 Halleluja, praise the heavens! Why? Because also small things can make me happy :-) Looking back: A year ago I was already working on the improved gunport lids but had a grandious failure on the gunport tackles: Looks like a ball of hair straight out of the shower plughole :-( These days I broused through Gil Middletons wonderful Jotika-Victory and dicovered the splicing that he presents there: (Edit: Later I discoverd this in use by many others too!) We proudly present: The Powersplice It is simple but effective: Thread - here 0,3 mm - through the ring, neadle through the thread, it is more easy than it looks ... ... make tight, secure with a drop of glue ... ... and once more through it with feeling ... ... pull thight and ... here we are! Great, isn´t it??? All the best from a happy Daniel to all of those who showed it before! mtaylor, Rogercox, druxey and 2 others 5 Quote To victory and beyond! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/ See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/ Finest etch parts for HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller Kit), USS Constitution 1:96 (Revell) and other useful bits. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html
Blue Ensign Posted February 19, 2013 #2 Posted February 19, 2013 It certainly is Daniel, I also picked up on Gil's system and it is my preferred method of simulating small splices also. As you say it eliminates the fluffy shower plughole effect B.E.
