But i have not yet found the need to rebuild it out of plastic and i am using 5 strand ropes on the shrouds. - that i think depends on personal preference of what fits your model. If you need any help set it up and get in touch - im more than willing to help if you want to pm me it might be easier to go through it by phone no probs m8. all the best Ant  Cheers Ant I am going to have a play on Wednesday as its my day off if I get into trouble I will definitely get in touch  I don't need the rope at the moment as its for a build that I will be doing in the future Thanks again for the offer m8 rgd Martyn Building ?

First of all, congratulations. What a good work!
I read your comments on the figurehead. AL's one looks like the Frankenstein's creature. Tomorrow I'll post a few pics of mine. It may be helpful for you and other friends.

With the sad news of Ant having passed away on the 13/11/2016, I feel it is only right to now lock this topic.
RIP Anthony.
Please post condolences here...
