Cotton ones definitely not, because they have lint, and this is unacceptable and cannot be removed, no matter what anyone says. I recommend the ones I use and dye the same ones. And you will have a great result.Would you choose polyester or cotton?
I have pack of different white cotton ropes and it would be far easier to just change color, but maybe making polyester ones from scratch is worth a try.
Is it a game changer or only a slight difference?
I looked for US suppliers but they all show 'sold out' which likely means it is no longer made...I’d be very grateful for any help finding the Patina-It solution.
I wrote to this place... I'm waiting for a response. It's available here, but I'm worried because the color is different (((. Once I get a reply, I'll let you know. But the product is very good, and the best part is that it's very easy to use. Just apply it, wait, wipe off the excess, and it's ready. Other products... are a pain and a struggle. Either the oxidation process is unpredictable, or it results in spots, or it's completely different. Thank you for your efforts; I appreciate it!I looked for US suppliers but they all show 'sold out' which likely means it is no longer made...
Edit: I also search for A West and they are not in business anymore as far as I can tell.
DittoThis is an excellent tutorial. I finally get to see exactly how the machine is made. Also, excellent demonstrations.
Yes, I will touch on this topic in the future, when I will directly glue the copper sheathing. For my scale, I realized that I will not overlap the plates, but only join them to each other. But more about this in the review)))These look really nice. You might find the plate and nail patterns below interesting as they account for the plate overlaps on the bottoms and sides as the plate were attached starting at the top and working down unlike roof shingles. It is so nice to see your indented nail mark instead of the rivet like bumps on some plates found in some kits. The sketch is based on a drawing in Goodwin's The Construction and Fitting of the English Man of War, page 225.

Yes, I remember, I read and saw. But for me it is a bit dark and spotty. The result is good, but I have a larger area and I am afraid it will be rippled.This is how I did Alert.

Thanks a lot!Modeling excellence, Sergey!
This balsa has saved me so many times. After my aircraft modeling hobby, I had a lot of it left, so I use it)))That balsa work is clever. Looks good!
