    Thank you John buying ready made ropes seems the way to go :) the shrouds supplied with the kit are pretty poor and very fuzzy/fluffy

    First question John this won't make ropes it just a serving (wrapping) machine? I would need a rope walk to make ropes?

    As I'm fast approaching the rigging and wanting to do a good job at it, I bought myself one of these to go with my book. SM4 series serving (wrapping) machines https://www.shipworkshop.com/product-page/sm4-series-serving-machines-wrapping-machines

    Did a bit more gum rigging this afternoon, my stuff from Caldercraft arrived too so I fitted the first head timber making sure its all level and square.

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    Decided I hate doing gun rigging just took me 3 hours to do two guns, I think my vision is in need of new glasses. The brass bar on the stern took some shaping too :(
