Make rigging from plastic floor brush instead.. they will always be tense without any trouble.

Post by: AWu on 02 September 2016, 10:36:24 PM: Well glued pieces of plastic will do the trick too. Especially when you do shrouds (wich is quite easy to do this method. It works like real life shrouds.

I am doing a frigate now and after trying cord i almost threw her into bin of shame, but plastic rod is giving much more suport to the masts despite them being really bendy metal (Navwar ship)
