Nice and tidy work as usual. Once those lines have a bit of droop for slack it will look a million bucks.
-
It looks real nice. Real clean and sharp. Keep up the excellent work

Also I'm on the hunt as well. Might try the army surplus store on Wellington street see if they have something.

Another useful tool to have for your rigging lines is bees wax. The wax helps all those little fluffy strands disappear. Before attaching the rigging line to the model, run the line over some wax and pull through you fingers a few times.

I have a suction cup vice that worked well only for 10 or so minutes then it would loosen. So now I have it mounted onto a board. If I was to buy another i would do away with suction cups altogether.

Your wheels are looking great! Just remember each wall plank you glue on is one less than you have to glue on later! I built the King Of The Mississippi a little while back and had a similar construction as the RE Lee. You doing great

Have to say nail clippers are the way to go, well for me anyway. But it seems like you have a lot of support on this one. Now to choose.

This is an interesting build. Looks great. 1:150 will be fidley.

Maybe you start building a boat that you can actualy sail before the water gets too high! Like the ark!

It looks absolutely amazing. So clean and sharp!

It's a master piece! Looking real sharp.

Wow 1/45th! That going to be a monster. You almost have to erect scaffolding to work on her. Looks like you are doing a great job. Looks awesome.

I know what you mean. I think your best bet would be dgbot or Brian C and Augie answers. I used clear satin on my rattlesnake and it came out fine, not too shiny.

You certainly know what you are doing! Looks amazing! So much attention to detail. Love it.

I'm not sure of other kits but Mamoli for some reason instruct you to paint the ends of the yards white. But it's ok. That's an easy fix

Absolutely a masterpiece. It has come up really well. Looking sharp

I know it is quite common for yards to be painted black with the tips of them white. I myself paint the yards but blackening them I'm not sure. Is this like some sort of stain for the wood?

Yor sails really look great! You seem to have your head around all those rigging lines good work.

Was amazed that a curling iron worked that well. I think I would be shot if the admiral found out I was using hers to bend wood.

Looking very smart with the planks on the stem, keel and sternpost. Nice hull planking, looking real snug. Be proud of this model, I know I would be!
