Just joined the forum as you have some really interesting stuff going on!
Let's get this out of the way - I'm mostly an aviation modeller (there I said it) but do have one ship build under my belt - USS Arizona in 1/200th,
The reason I'm here though, is this lady:-
I've been working on this, off and on (mostly off) for probably about ten years now and have got to the stage where I can't avoid string any longer.
So I'm just 3D printing a rope server/gallery and you seem to have some very useful resources for that already.
I'm no stranger to scratch building and I've had a crack at photo etching, 3D printing, I've got a small engineers lathe so turn parts, etc.
I've also done a bit of card modelling (which is how I made the monogrammed buckets in the photo above in the end) but rigging and masting is new to me. I have all the right books, but the terminology is a real handful.
Anyway, enough about me - nice to meet you all!
Regards,
Nick
