definitely finish one before starting the next, but you can try the ratlines on that one as well. #10 crochet string doesn't come in black in my store, besides, if you want the "tarred" rope look you have to paint the ropes.

Wouldn't it be easier to start with black thread? I have a partially built wooden plank-on-frame ship here. Maybe I should force myself to finish that before I tackle a paper one.

I've modified my technique where I build on both sides of the cardboard now instead of the butterfly design like in the picture. I would definitely recommend starting with the ratlines. Spray paint them black too if you want them correct (standing rigging would be covered in tar) --- On Mon, 9/17/12, Meg Winters <[email protected]> wrote: From: Meg Winters <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Papermodels II 47298] Free San Salvador paper model To: [email protected] Date: Monday, September 17, 2012, 2:09 PM Thank you Jonathan. I think I'd have to try that before actually making the model. I'd hate to go through a lot of build and find I have to go to a hobby shop, looking for the right size ratlines. (By the way, I thought the whole thing was called "ratlines" until I saw the instructions for the ship. I'll never learn to speak boat.)

All I do is paste the template part onto corrugated cardboard, and then on the outside crossings/ ends of the strings, I make a slit to pinch the thread: http://jleslie48.com/gmerry/gm00317.jpg then a dot of white glue at the crossings. --- On Mon, 9/17/12, Meg Winters <[email protected]> wrote: From: Meg Winters <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Papermodels II 47296] Free San Salvador paper model To: [email protected] Date: Monday, September 17, 2012, 1:25 PM It looks amazing! But the ratlines and shrouds.... I don't know which method would cause me to tear out less hair.
