Canada Steve Posted March 27, 2014 #1 Posted March 27, 2014 Hi all I am currently rigging up my Apostol Felipe and I was wondering if anybody has any ideas about the netting that is rolled up along the catwalk which runs down the centre of the ship . I have absolutly no idea what the pupose of it would be . I plan on leaving it off unless someone has a solid idea as to why it would be there. this is a link (if it works) http://www.occre.com/model-ship/galleon-apostol-felipe.html#!prettyPhoto[media_gallery]/5/ if not just go to the Occre site and look it up , if its not too much trouble. I have pretty much treated the ship as a bit of a flight of fancy anyway , I've made changes purely for astetic reasons and not worried about it being historically accurate . Thanks in advance Steve Quote current build : Apostol Felipe past : Mississippi riverboat, Albatross and a few midwest kits future : Santisima Trinidad
mtaylor Posted March 28, 2014 #2 Posted March 28, 2014 Steve, That's basically anti-boarding netting which would also help keep falling debris from the masts from landing on that deck. It would be unrolled all the way to the bulwarks.
