Batavia 1628 (1:72) Kolderstok Build log

Clemens

Just getting back to you to let you know that hanging the line as you suggested worked out perfectly.
This was what was needed.
I think I figured out why I never had this problem before. I am not an expert but have built some tall ships before without
this issue. The lines I am using came with the kit and were tightly wrapped around a dowel. My previous builds had the line
loosely wrapped. When I compared the two there is a big difference in twist.

No matter how old you can still learn a few things.
