Wow. Yes I'd say take off all of the rigging off and start from the beginning. Best to have it all the same age. Saves repairing the already old stuff down the line. For me to get the dust off, Use a soft bristled brush and sweep away the bulk of the dust, Then blow the remaining dust away with either a empty sauce bottle of that air in a spray can if you want. It's up to you if you would wish to have the ship shinny with varnish. Me personally would use a Matt Satan wipe on Poly. Matt because I don't like the gleaming shinny finishes. Hope this helps. Take your time.

Congratulations on completion of the first layer. Looks great. Now for the second. On the first layer I nail through the planks. But the second is held in place by drawing pins inserted next to the plank and the plastic bit holding the plank down. Good luck with the sanding.

Looks great. Clean and tidy build. The hull must be mass produced and used for all of the battleships of that class. Looking good.

I guess I would like to see something developed in the hobby like pre -cut and pre made sails. The best model with the most accurate detail is spoiled because of sails made with oversize stitching and folds. I don't have any sails on any of my builds because I just can't get them to look right. The Flags are pre made. Why can't the sails instead of giving us a fooled up sheet to make our own? Just my two cents. I hope this s a valid post.

She looks real pleasing to the eye. Nice work. Defiantly have got your work cut out for you with the deck planking.

Oh dear!! What a hard time you are going to have keeping museums and such at bay! With a quality looking build like that be careful they don't try and take it for there own collection. Awesome job. Good work.

I like the rigging. Makes the ship look more complete. I too find myself sitting back and admiring the new line I had just installed.

Just as Mark suggested. I cut the head off a small brass nail and drill a hole into the mast halfway the Dia and the same on the yard. CA glue the nail in the holes and attach the yard to the mast.

Hey it's looking great. Very neat. Good work. That transom counter wood is real hard wood. Well I know in the Mamoli kits it is. Hope Corel is a bit easier to shape.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
