Great technique putting thread for your expansion joints amazing

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Glad you like it!!!The outcome looks very good every time :)

[@tommyv8559]

@@JohnsWoodenShips hey quick question for you I’m building the same ship but in 1/48 scale so it’s pretty big unfortunately I have no directions for rigging just pictures what rigging thickness would you recommend for my main rigging lines coming off my deadeye to my main mast I was thinking 1.3 mm ?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

@@tommyv8559 I am panning on using 0,7mm for shrouds , 0,45mm for dead eyes and 0,35mm for the ladders steps and 1mm for the main standing rigging. I will only use 1,2mm on the ropes between masts. For your scale you need 1,2 or 1,3 mm for shrouds around 0,9 - 1mm for dead eyes, 0,8 for the ladders steps and 1,5-1,6 for the main standing rigging.

[@tommyv8559]

@@JohnsWoodenShips thanks so much for your expertise in this field I really appreciate it and I’m going back again to review your rigging videos to do my homework thanks again I really appreciate all your help and skills ps I’ll send you some pictures once I figure out how to download them to you I did try but it wouldn’t go through lol !

John please you gotta do the Black Pearl at once as a ship builder! 🙏 Your ships always look SOOO GOOD. ZHL make nice wood kits

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

It is not in my plans for now, sorry...

[@robertsalanon2909]

Hello John !! Your work is so good !! Congrest ...

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you so much my friend!!! 😀

[@FeathersMcgraw]

Thank you

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

You're welcome!

[@andypellatt7862]

A nice start to the deck, John I wish I wasn't so allergic to CA, or I would give it a try

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Try with a mask on, maybe you won't inhale the fumes :)

[@andypellatt7862]

I had enough of masks with Covid ! I have tried but nothing seems to stop it 😢

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

@@andypellatt7862 Too bad... 😟With CA glue you can make your model faster and better.

[@gidaban79]

As always John, great job :)

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!!

[@simonsoegaard60]

Hello John looking good, I use the same method for planking, and it dos make it look realistic. Lucky that modelbuilding is not a race, because it dos take time. Best wishes Simon 😊

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hello my friend!!! Yes it is very time consuming but the result is great!!!

[@nigeldouglas1529]

Good job John … string is great … regards Nigel 😊

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Indeed it is my friend!!!

[@GregWilson635]

The thread gives a really nice effect. Great work. I'm thinking of using this method on Victory.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Glad you like it! You have to my friend, you have to, the outcome will leave you speechless!!!

[@johnmacleanan8231]

G,day John from John on the Sunshine Coast in Australia again - luv your work and please keep saying “oooh boy” it really makes my day - thank you for your reply regarding Ropes of Scale, you are so right, although they are relatively expensive there is no comparison with what is provided in the kits. I am presently ploughing my way through HMS Endeavour, but as you know the online instructions leave a lot to be desired, and the photos regarding the rigging are leaving my head spinning. I noticed that you disregarded the supplied instructions and used some from another supplier - would it be too cheeky to ask if you could tell me where I could get a copy as otherwise I can see it being an absolute disaster. Keep up the great work John, give Buddy a pat from me and hope to hear from you - best regards John

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi John! Thank you very much for your kind words!!! The Artesanias instructions were tragic, so i downloaded the OcCre ones from here : occre.com/en/products/endeavour :)

[@clydesims5121]

Hi John, what size thread do you use? Planking looks great!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!! It's 0,15mm

[@janezgladek1202]

Dear John. I admire your work. I need your advice.I plan to make a Royal de Soleil model. Which manofacturer do you recommend? Deagostini or Artesania latina. The both price are the same. Regards

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!! If you go with Artesania you will get a cheap Chinese model with average to low quality of materials and high purchase price. So go with Deagostini.

[@janezgladek1202]

Thank you for your advise. I will order by Deagostini

[@gordonback]

Hi John. Im sure you know by now that you are doing a lot of work planking areas that are covered and will never be seen.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes my friend, i know, that's why on the end of the deck i leave it unfinished.

[@tedrobinson8617]

Where did you get the xacto saw blade

[@tedrobinson8617]

Another great model begins

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I found it here : www.super-hobby.co.uk/catalog/Spare-blades-19634949.html it's been a long time, i don't remember the description.

[@genojoe3176]

John, every time I want to this thread method the harder it is. Well, not harder, just more tedious...

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

The problem is that you get a lot of glue on your fingertips.

[@Tomkatat]

Can domeone tell me what the electric Hand dril is called?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

It's an Arrowmax and i got it from Amazon US.
