Apparently only one guy at the company that makes these for me can discuss this project with me. And apparently, he travels a lot and apparently can't receive or answer emails while traveling...

Ratlines for the first 4 ships, Wave 2 ships, the Connie and Vic are all coming. The company that makes them is about two weeks out from looking at my new designs (for the new ships). So, I'll have...

Thanks for the diagram Gunners, that will help people put place them for sure.

Nightmoss, so attaching them to the outside edge of the bulwarks instead of the top of it seemed to work okay? ...

USS Constitution ratlines....

I need your guy's help on this one. Looking at the mini I have, the bulwarks are very narrow and the cannons stick out into that space quite far. I'm not sure if...

The brass I used was .1mm. The next step up is .15mm and that would require the ratline line thickness to be over 50% thicker... again, losing about half the number of ratlines on each part. Bottom...

I looked at going to stainless, but we'd have to give up a lot of the detail that we get with the brass. They would basically have about half the number of ratlines as the brass. Not sure I want to...

I'll get them moved back towards the top of the list mates.

Actually, if someone has a digital caliper, PowerPoint and some time on their hands... I'd be willing to work with them to get these done much faster.

It's a project that I've been working on... it just keeps getting pushed to the back burner for other things and life in general :(

They are getting closer. Still a few months out though.

Jim is spot on with both accounts. Ratlines for Wave 2 ships in still in the distant future.

Ratlines stocks have been updated on the site. There are plenty of the frigate lines left, but all of the 74s are sold out except for in full Wave 1 sets.

Still behind schedule. Look for them mid to late next week.

The rest of my Wave 1 ratlines showed up while I was gone. I've not had a chance to open them and check that all is okay yet. Hopefully today.

I'll start designing Wave 2 ratlines some time this...

She look more then okay Jim! I should have the ratlines back up in the store next week when I get back from Origins. At least, the rest of my initial production run should be waiting on me when I...

Jim, I see that Rory answered your question on the upper ratline placement. And yes, the lines are made to fit only the ship they are designed for ;) But I don't think anyone will really notice,...

I think that will be your best method Jim. A needle for the glue and Kicker. I used to do this a lot back in my modeling and mini painting/building days.

Be careful about hitting your minis with Kicker. It can leave "droplet" spots when sprayed on with the mister top they come with. That's another reason I use the toothpick method I mentioned above.

If you use Kicker on them, use this method. Spray a good amount into a bowl or lid so that you can dip a toothpick or something similar (you may have to let the wood soak up the Kicker). You want...

I wonder how many times throughout history man has been saved by his own stupidity? LOL Not at all call you stupid Ted, I've done many similar things in my life. I just find it funny and kind of...

Can't wait to see them!

Ouch. Maybe soaking them in fingernail polish remover would clear those areas up since there is nothing for the paint to adhere to there?

Don't know, did the spaces between the lines fill up with primer?

With great risk comes great rewards... or at least that's what people say! I've got several Wings planes that I've rigged and let people use at multiple cons and no one has mucked them up yet. The...

I'll be airbrushing mine with Vallajo black primer and then sealing it... if I ever get the time to do any :(
