How To Rig a SGN ship, the paint brush method

[Iron Outlaw]

Hi Rory

Thanks for the post mate.

As the ratlines are only the footropes that are attached to the shrouds and not the shrouds themselves, I would have thought that the ratlines would not be that necessary.

Ta for that. Maybe I will try the paint brush bristles for some rigging too.

Cheers

Brad,
You are right, The foot-ropes are only for the crew to get around the masts. But the stays the foot-ropes are on stopped sideward movement of the masts, so like in life, like in models.
This should not be on this thread, Sorry! as it is about using brush bristles for rigging. I use them for smaller ships as there is no place to drill holes into the hull. So bristles for back-up for me.
Be safe
