Hello all.
Ive never really tackled ship models, because I pretty much know nothing about any of all that rigging that you see on various ships, from all the "old timey" ones, to modern warfare ships of any and all nations that have ever had any kind of fleet.
I see all that rigging and aerials everywhere and it immediately shuts me down, as I want to make the ship look reALLLY COOOl, and all that intricate miles of cable looks amazing.....in the picture, but since i dont have the first glimmer of a clue of how to start it, where it begins and ends..what connects to what etc, it intimidates me.....BUT...i found a few that I would LOVE to buidl for my nephews.
Are there any kind of grids or templates that anyone knows of that can help with this..somewhere to start to get me familiar.
Also...Ive been seeing some pretty cool spoked wheels on aircraft models that were spoked by hand with thread or something on somekind of loom i imagine. Is there a template for that as well?
Thank you kindly everyone.
