Chinese rope serving machine

It is a good reminder, but I am afraid that the technique used for ropes on ships cannot be used well enough for model use.

If you own an iphone (Apple) you can download for free 'Google Translate', select the language you want translate from to English, point the camera at the words, and HeyHo there you go, instant translate, Brilliant👍
Just tried it with Japanese to ENGLISH instructions on the side of a Tamiya model kit box.

Cheers, Pete😊

Have you tried Camera Translator from Google Apps?

Chinese rope serving machine

I am building a display model of HMS VICTORY and in anticipation of reaching the rigging stage of the build I ordered a rope serving machine (self build) from China. Is there anyone out there who has one of these who can advise me regarding the stabilisation of the main cogs, I am reluctant to use adhesive at this stage for obvious reasons, also unfortunately the instructions are in Chinese, and contacting the vendor is proving more frustrating than trying to decipher the instructions.😠
