Here is the method I have been using for seizing. The procedure is as follows:
- Tie thin thread at the point where the ropes join and secure with a tiny drop of CA glue.
- Cut off the loose ends of the thread.
- Use a tiny drop of CA glue to attach a small strip of black crepe paper and wait for it to dry completely.
- Using a mixture of 50% white glue / 50% water, dampen the crepe paper strip and wrap it around the ropes.

The ship’s bell can be found on the back of the mainmast.

The anchors have been added. I’m mostly satisfied, but in hindsight, I feel that a thinner anchor cable would be better. (I used the .045 miniature rope as in the Sultana practicum part 7.)

I attached blocks and line for the tiller. This was my first time using the Syren 2mm blocks. Manipulating them and threading line through them was a big challenge. There are some other areas of the ship that call for these small blocks and I’m not looking forward to it.
