How do you make a strop for a rigging block?

The family they want to see the sails on the model. For them the model with no sails is incomplete.

HaHa
My family is saying, that I am not building ship models - I am building hull-models

I love rigging, but found it tedious & almost mind-breaking when I got started......on any of the ships I've built, now numbering 27. I bought as many books as I could find to help, & after some study time, figured out ways to save time & headache. Thanasis has the right idea, it works! And, the results were very satisfying! But, my ships are on scales from 1/96 down to 1/200, & have worked with blocks as small as 2mm. This limits the ways for stropping,
but the results were eye-pleasing, or so I've been told.

Could you show some examples?

I wish I could, Y.T., but I can't figure out how to send pics on this site with my flip phone. And I'm also basically computer illiterate. haha I'll work on it, OK?

Yes, I could, anyway under el capi, I sent out this info one or two years ago. I will send out during the Week a few exceptional links, but it will be hospitals most of next week with my wife, who has Skin cancer - tomorrow we may know it it is a GOOD or BAD one.
