As for the rigging, I used cotton thread (I find you actually have to use cotton, not polyester). I hang it with a weight and use super glue to make the tread solid, it is then relatively easy to cut to length and apply.

I will try that out, thanks! Excellent idea. The more you show the model, the better it looks!

What a superbly done model, Andrew! It's such a neat and clean build. I love the way your barrels came out, they are very well done! Brilliant craftsmanship! And at 1:400 scale! Amazing!!

I appreciate your posting many photos, there is a whole lot of this model to see. Thank you for sharing photos of this beautiful build with us.

What's next?

Cheers!
Jim

Hi,

Thanks for you comments - they are much appreciated.

The model is 66 cm (2' 2" long). As the formers are not reinforced, I thought there was the possibility of some warping, but this fear turned out to be unfounded, as the triangular centre held everything rigid.

I have just started another model, the HMS Prince of Wales (http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8149).

Regards,

Andrew
