I ran out of 0.25mm fawn rigging thread today and had intended to begin a new roll purchased from a supplier in Melbourne about 2 months ago. Unfortunately this thread doesn't match that supplied by De-Ag. Both colour and thickness are different.  See photo. Can you advise if there is a supplier in UK I can contact inline?... Maybe they will have the stand as well then I can can order both.... I need the same thread for continuity, I'm sure you'll agree... John Passmore attached the following image(s):

Hi John, Have you considered purchasing a back issue, one that contains the size of thread you need. You could try emailing sales@model-space.co.uk outlining your problem and quoting the issue number you would like to purchase, they may be able to help. If that doesn't work then by all means get back to me.... Regards Alan

Hi Everyone Here is my progress to end December 2019. Issues 129 and 130 refer. Figured out how to make rope coils to go onto the belaying pins. Looks more realistic now... Have more to do as I proceed... * Made up and installed Bowsprit sails and rigging... * Installed Mizzen mast spar V11 with rigging... Had a few accidents along the way - couple of busted halyards and other bits of running rigging pulled out...  Regards to All and a Happy New Year JohnP John Passmore attached the following image(s):

Hi John, lovely work on the SotS Looking at your pictures the lateen sail is the wrong way round. The panel with the reef lines should be horizontal to the deck . Hope this helps Martyn Building ?
Completed. Soliei Royal . Sovereign of the Seas . Virginia . Scotland . San Felipe . Corel vasa , Santisima Trinadad X section , Vasa
Next Build ?

Hi again Everyone Further to my previous post here is a little problem I had with fitting of the sailSA12... I had installed braces from yard V8 incorrectly, blocks were on middle mizzen shrouds should have been on the lower mizzen shroud... Have to disconnect and place correctly... Inattention on my part!
