I don't like the destroying of lego parts either. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
i'm not that familiar with knots, i'm afraid. i normally use some variation on a pretzel-knot and a noose. on the shrouds, i looped the rope through the bottom attachements, back up for a bit, and then tied a knot around the downward rope. then i tied the bit i had left around both of the ropes, after which i cut off the excess as much as i dared.

i'd appreciate some lessons in knots though, if it makes everything look a bit tidier.

i got all my rope from one big bundle. i seriously used half of it on this ship, and that's a lot of rope. i think i used around 7 or 8 meters of the stuff.

How do you "unavoidably melt" LEGO? Seems something that is <i>perfectly avoidable</i> to me! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
