Ship Model Ratlines

This is not a model kit that we sell, but the adding of ratlines is the same for all ship models. In this post, the builder describes his process of what was called “rattling down the shrouds”. That is, the process of tying ratlines (the rope ladders that lead up the shrouds to the mast top, and beyond) to the shrouds.

There are different methods for adding ratlines to a model, and this seems to do a decent job of explaining this. Ω
