HMS Race Horse Build Log - Day 41 to 46

Day 41 to 46 - 12 Hours Work

OK, it's time for redoing works.. The Ratlines! Some modellers shared to me that they could be done better by rigging the 5th ratline first, and then do the ones between those, and then the rest.. So, I followed the suggested method, and the result seems good. :)

Method Used

Also, I used cow hitches instead of clove hitches at the first and last shrouds to more realistic look as suggested from other forumers.

Total of 392 knots... :D

Ratlines Completed

Then, I continued to the gaffs..
