Yes I will show in a video, but vídeos are lagging behind the build a couple months
1st disclaimer, I'm using amati rope, in my opinion it is far better than the rope usually provided on the kits, more stiff, no fuzziness this allows me to not use wax, which is important for the 1st step, that is a brown wash from Vallejo, this step is not fundamental but makes the rope look more dirty, I prefer it, I do it in place, if you need to use wax, I would say use the wash 1st then the wax, then put the rope in place, I'm pretty sure the wax will affect the absorption of the wash, but I never tried
Then I mix black paint with pva glue and apply it with a stiff bristle brush that is very destroyed, if you see my videos, the brush I use to do the chipping effects for little touch ups a tooth pick with the glue, the ammount of paint is whatever it's needed to make the mix black, too little it will be gray
There is black pva, but people say it dries Gray, so I decided to mix paint directly with the normal white glue, but never tried, might be an option
