I'm getting to the stage in my Occre La Candelaria build where I need to think about the rigging & Ive read that builders sometimes prefer 3rd. party rope. I noticed that my kit rope looks rather fuzzy, especially the tan rope as seen below.
I've looked at rope from Ropes of Scale & from Syren Ship Model Co. The tan rope in my kit is .15mm & the closest I can find is from Syren which is .20mm. Will a .5mm larger size look that much different? The dark brown in my kit is .50mm but the closest from Sryen is .45mm.
Below is the shopping cart from Syren. This being my first build I know almost nothing about rigging so I can see a steep learning curve ahead. Once again, my question is about size difference & using a higher quality material. Thanks for any input............Al.
