BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

[Peter Voogt]

It might be easier to leave that rig at rest, without tension, hanging... it's an idea.

That's for sure, Adri. The scoop for you:

With a little bit of diluted transparant drying glue. Just the tension of the ropes.
I did it also on my Bluenose (long term memorie ....... ) and had this glue on the shelf for years:

Oh man, what a Nice day that must’ve been! And to sail Balder. Wow.

Thanks for you nice reply, Marco. That was indeed a pleasant day. With the final chapter on my 1:1 reference! It was wonderful to feel how she responded to the tiller. With the engine propulsion, of course. Under sail is definitely in the offing.
