I am amazed by the superb quality of your workmanship, Taranis!
I have been looking for the right size of the towing hawse, myself.
compared to the size of your crew member, yours looks rather thick. Is it based on research?
In my model 1/33, a five mm string equals more than 16 cm real life. I thought that would be about right. What do you think?
Do you have an idea, where in real life they use steel rope and where soft natural or synthetic rope material?
Also, I have thought that I could simulate a steel rope by simply painting an appropriate string. I wonder, if it works. It would only be for display, of course. I think ropes for tieing, towing business must be more practical (I found a very nice hemp string lately).
