"nice young men in their clean white coats, arrived to take me away".

You were taken into the Irrenanstalt?
Otherwise your workmanship:
"Seventhousandfivehundred" indivudual shingles, WOW!!!
Lutz

:oops: :oops: I just realized hock: I used the "grand total" of all the individual shingles I have ever "applied". that house has a "few less"
"You were taken into the Irrenanstalt? " No....I was referring to the Tom Lehrer song "And they're coming to take me away",
because the effort of using individual shingles for all my "wood shingled" structures, sounds a bit "loopy".
Hand forming the shackles and shackle pins for my rigging, out of a single strand of picture hanging wire? yeah, that too sounds a bit " off my rocker, and over the edge ". That said, if I am going to build a model, and it is possible to create the actual details in the process, I'll try to do it. I have found a way to make very realistic looking eye splices, in the sewing thread I use for the running rigging, and reasonable facsimile's of seized eyes in the Surgical Silk I use for the standing rigging......simply because seizing and splicing, are how the prototype is done.
I still have no desire to get into "Fly Tying".
