Hi Folks,
I am building a simple paper sailing ship Isabela from erkotyp.
http://mujobchod.atlas.cz/shop/imag...guage=19&ts=71rh267&id_item=24&id_cat=5&all=1
I have finished all the paper parts,
now I have to put the masts and sails and do the rigging.
I have put all the shrouds in place.
But now I have difficulty glueing ratlines to the shrouds, can you give me some tips?
I have tried to use Elmer white glue for glueing ratlines to the shrouds, but it does not bond strong enough.
Using UHU and CA, both of them make the thread looks glossy, it does not look good that way.
If I knot every ratline to the shrouds, it is too much work for me.
I try using this pattern made from paper (please look at the picture) and put all the ratlines in it, so that I can glue all the ratlines in line with one another, but I have difficulty putting the glue in place. I am afraid I put too much glue.
What should I do?
Please advice.
regards,
Tirta
