Premium Rigging Solutions:
EZ Line rigging thread delivers superior elastic properties that create realistic sag and tension in ship rigging. Available in fine and heavy weights across six colors including black, white, rope tan, rust, blue, and green on convenient 100-foot spools. This American-made rigging line works perfectly with Model Shipways, Amati, and Mantua wooden ship kits.
Authentic Wood Materials:
Model Shipways offers premium hardwood strips in walnut, basswood, cherry, mahogany, and boxwood. Walnut strips come in twelve dimensions from 0.6mm to 4mm thickness for structural framing and decorative trim. Basswood strips range from 1/32" x 1/16" through 1/4" x 1/2" in 24-inch lengths, perfect for planking and deck construction. Pre-scored basswood deck planking sheets feature authentic score lines for realistic deck layouts.
Rigging Hardware and Cordage:
German jewelry nylon cord provides exceptional strength in eight diameters from 0.008" to 0.08" across black, white, and beige colors on 5-10 yard spools. Copper chain comes in multiple link densities (15, 27, 42 links per inch) for anchor chains and decorative elements. Polyester thread in 13mm black and tan completes traditional rigging applications.
Brass Fittings and Components:

Authentic walnut and boxwood blocks include single, double, and triple sheave designs in sizes from 1/8" to 3/8". Deadeyes range from 3/32" to 3/8" diameters for shroud and stay rigging. Sister blocks, bullseyes, and specialized pulley configurations complete complex rigging systems with historical accuracy.
