Sumpter 250's 2014 Summer Scratchbuild Challenge
#18
Here's a shot of the "Lobster-man's" shack, dock, sloop, and some lobster pots ( traps ), with the Lobster Fisherman himself, standing on the dock. At the end of a day's fishing, the live lobster are transferred from a "wet tank" on the sloop, to the pound.
I'm "of the intention" that when the pound build is finished, I'll start rigging the sloop.
   
Right behind the "young lady", waving from the bow of that passing boat, at the end of that dock, I'll rig a vertical ladder down, into the water, that will provide access to the floating "Pound".

Compared the Tulle I found in my "stash" with the "surgical silk thread" I use for standing rigging on ship models. The smallest diameter Thread I have is 6-0 Deknatel, and even that is too "heavy"....and.... would make some "rather large" knots.
Looks like, for better or for worse, the Tulle is going to be what ends up being used.

Wishing to me much luck, Wink as needing it ?, I will :o Wink Big Grin
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
