I started out with just the paper sails and then this happened….. link

Ain't that a bit thick though? Perhaps (fishing)line of suitable thickness might be a better choice? Less prone to snap than very thin stretched sprue… |

Anton, the idea is good but as Lonkka said, I think is a bit thick. Personally I recommend to rig this ship monofilament plyamide thread, works very well with the superglue. Good job in the brig! |

Would polyamide sewing thread work? Btw, the ships look lovely, Anton. |

Pulled sprue would work too. I use that a lot. |

Bowmam. The problem with the polyamide sewing thread is that it is bright, then you would have to apply some ink to remove the shine. |

Virtual- if you read the article- that is pulled sprue. Looks nice! I don't know if I mind the thickness, really. |

It looks really good. A win. |

I've followed Admiral Anton's model building for many years now [his blog]. He is a genius. There is a reason for what he does. Great job, Maestro! Zeelow |

Virtual- if you read the article- that is pulled sprue. Looks nice! I don't know if I mind the thickness, really. Sorry… I did indeed miss that. It is an art in itself that I have only recently mastered. I can get it to thinner than thread if I am careful, and it has made a big difference. |

…….. then you would have to apply some ink to remove the shine. Yep I see that. I wonder if hitting the finished ship with Dullcoat would take the shine away. |
