Revell Viking Build - Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

[Jhoanor]

From what I can tell the stay were attached/tied to loops of ropes that went through holes drilled into the ribs? there is no way to do this on the model as there is not enough room or material to drill through, so I'll need to drill through an area just at the edge of the top rail so the stays have an anchor point, the shields will cover this but I'm trying to see if I can make up a dead loop. Also, I'm trying to decide if I need 3 or stays, I'm seeing pics of both. Anybody have pictures of the stay rigging they can share?

I have been searching for it (rather extensively) but it seams the Gokstad ship had no holes in the ribs. I read (can't remember where) continuous tension on those ribs would have warped them, of which there was no evidence.
So in the end I just drilled holes were you also did.

3 stays or 4 you think?
