What’s on your workbench for October?

Superb work Vol, how did you do the ratlines ?

Thanks Chris, and thanks for the rep points as well. I used my home made jigs to make these ratlines rather the 3D jig I have. The lines are spaced too far apart for the scale on the 3D jig in my opinion. I know the little 1/700 Eduard crew figures fit between the spaces, whereas on the shrouds from my home made jig they easily fit across two lines for climbing. I think I have posted photos of the jigs before but here they are again.

Hi Vol, I've seen your jig before but can't remember if you said how you used it.

Once the thread is fixed to the jig do you soak it in superglue to hold it all together?

Same with the standing rigging, is it superglue to hold it in place and how do you make it taut?

Is it made from a credit card and what did you use to cut into the edges with, it looks too fine to be a saw, was it just a knife?

Finally are you using sewing thread or something similar?
Cheers
