For me, fastening the ropes is more easy after adding water&white glue (at least the end stretch that will be knotted) since this stops the wire from straighten and unwind itself.

Possibly you did. But as you know I am a poor student when it comes to just reading. Thats why I was a poor student on highschool
Especially by practicing I learn and remember new things.
Again this is an example of that mystery around you, Kostis: you came out of nowhere to our forum with a huge load of knowledge and skills of which nobody knows where you got that. Knowledge which you don't spread out over this forum but you only share it with us in small bits. That keeps me curious and fascinated. And I am not the only one I presume.

Right. Why did Hat Etruscans and Spartans never go into production??? Those were exactly the ones I was waiting for, for many years. There can be all kinds of reasons... like a conflict between producer and sculptor?

Well to be honest: both.
It was supposed to be a manual so you will know how to attach cables and blocks. But, as you can see, during the drawing of it I changed my mind several times. Glad I did it all in pencil. It can be wiped out and corrected.
Already I found mistakes in my drawings, and probably used wrong English terms for the different cables. So you can expect a revision manual soon

It looks rather expressive in stead of realistic. But for me its the best way (so far) to create the human body.
