My questions are about the rope in the launch, I can see that it needs to lie in a coil on the floorboards of the launch, but has anybody tried to build the coil? If so, how did you keep it in a neat coil, i.e using glue, if so which glue, and is your coil of rope aged, or soiled in order to make it look realistic? If so what was the process you used, and of course lastly...did you place your coil into the bottom of your launch before or after attaching the thwarts?

The method is described in issue 14 or take a look at my build for 14.
