    pretty much finished now, all that’s left is some touch ups where I damaged the paint job with the ca glue used for the rigging. Once that’s done and the name plate is painted, I’ll try and take some better pictures. It’s a challenge getting the rigging to show up on camera.

    This part is a bit messy, but I’m extremely pleased with how it turned out. It was very difficult to achieve the slight change in the angle of the line while maintaining proper tension.

    I took a fairly long break from it, mostly due to nervousness about rigging, but I’ve purchased some thread and have recently got back to work on it

    Excellent work, this is a very nice looking ship.

    now the propellers are on, I just have to repair part of the aft mast, then rigging can begin, as I have borrowed some rigging thread from a friend I've also included a photo of a 1/350 s-100 schnellboot that I was working on. I'm doing an ocean diorama for it right now, and will create a gallery for it once it's done

    I've continued the rigging, and finished the final assembly of the masts

    It’s really starting to come together . The last thing I have to do is decide whether or not to do rigging.
  22. Spooky spoon
    Some more progress with the railings, unfortunately I’ve ended up spilling a lot of glue on the deck. It’s not too visible, especially from far away, but I definitely need to refine my process

    Thank you very much. Are there any specific resources you would recommend? I've had a look around here but most of what I found deal more with what to do, instead of how to do it. I've also been looking to buy some books (I know Lee is very highly regarded but it seems to be out of print here). You're right about the start of rigging being a halfway point; I already feel like of learned so much even though I've just done the shrouds.

    beautiful work! Simply magnificent. I've been inspired to stop cutting corners with my current build and learn how to do rigging the proper way.

    The funnels and cranes have all been painted and attached, and they just need to be weathered. I’m not sure exactly how I’ll weather it yet, but I’ll probably just use some oil paints.
  37. Spooky spoon
    More progress on the rear mast. Where do you usually store these masts so they don’t get damaged?
  38. Spooky spoon
    Almost finished with the funnels
