PT-2, here is the link about E-121 thread: https://industry.guetermann.com/en/products/product-finder/guetermann-e-121
It is 100% polyester.
In regards to the ropewalk, these ropes are made on a horizontal ropewalk which is slightly longer than 6.5 meters.

It is impressive that he can walk cable and hawser of varying diameters from the same starting thread size. I don't know enough about line making on my own desktop walk to do that except using different sized initial threads. The 6.5+ meter walk must be quite a system. I have seen full ropes made from twine and walks of that and longer length but not scale lines for models. Thanks for the link that I could not find. PT-2

@craftysailor , do you have any plans of carrying 20 oar(all pear version) of the Falcanet long boat. I'm interested in it and the sail package for the Leudo.
And whatever else it takes to get to the magic $150 for free shipping. LOL

Don,
I remember my promise and I should get the sails for Leudo with the next shipment. Honestly, I have never considered their pinnace (14-oar) and longboat (20-oar) because they are in 1:100 scale which is not popular.
 
None of us are bloggers, but... we all will benefit from the photo session of the build\assembly process, for sure. Also, we are looking for some hidden pitfalls while construction. People who can see such photos, process steps can better judge if they will capably assemble such kits!
 
GREAT IDEA DON THINKING OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT MYSELF, I WAS THINKING OF DOING THE M/S BOATS DIFFERENT SIZES TO LEARN HOW TO PAINT AS I AM JUST TERRIBLE AS MY LONG BOAT INTERIOR SHOWS, THANK THE LORD ALMOST 90% IS HIDDEN GOD PLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
 
Hi Guys. Do NOT be concerned about the 20-Oar boat being 1:100 scale. It is 127 mm in length whereas most 1:72 scale boats are between 95mm - 120 mm. So scale-wise it is perfect. I am building one right now and I can tell you it is an awesome kit.
