Ratline maker, had to adjust to 1/1000 scale. used cotton to wrap around the slots as shown. not done the cross lines yet.
soaked cotton in diluted white pva, diluted to a sludge consistency not running, left to dry for 24 hours then cut with cutters
a few failures but intend to soak by immersion.
but once dry they are sturdy enough to attach but dont bend or they will drop to bits.
am trying to resize the jig for the different rates
