Deadeye knot

[jimmystratos]

What is the best sort of knot to start the lanyard behind the deadeye? It takes me longer to get a bulky stopper than to do the rest of the lanyard. I'm using 0.25mm and teh holes are about 0.5. I've been through pages of real knots, but the bulky ones are not realistic for modelling this.

What this video I made. Not sure if this will help, but there might be something that might.

Thanks for the video, Donnie. As a newbie who has never rigged a ship before, this is very helpful!
