Want to add some minor rigging for my 28mm OG Pirate ships. I'm ready to start on the ratlines, but never made any before. So what would be the recommended rigging line size to use? I do have some deadeyes, but a recommended size would be helpful too. I plan on ordering from the Age of Sail web site. Are there any other good web sites to order from too? Thanks. P. |

Use fly tying thread from any fishing store. Use a uni thread which has a twisted look. |
