I recently found a great source in the USA for photo-etched ratlines for my 1/600 scale ACW ships. The company is called Battlefleet Models and I picked up their BFM 7-P1. These are listed as 1/700 scale, but they look good for Bay Area Yards and Thoroughbred models. The service was also fantastic … very quick and they take PayPal. You can find them at this link:

I used an appropriate design of net curtain, dyed black. Considerably cheaper. |

I've used the Atlantic ones for years, but these look like they might be more flexible for larger ships like Hartford. Thanks for the tip! |

Your welcome Lucius. It was pictures of your models that inspired me to try my hand at putting rigging and ratlines on my civil war ships. Mark |

Yeah Lucius is evil. ;) I was all happy until I saw pictures of his ships. Now here I am rigging and putting ratlines on my ships. I still can't compare to his, but mine are looking better. Thanks for the push. |
