    Should one use bees wax when rigging?

    Modified a bit. Some of the kit plan did not seem realistic and some did not fit properly.

    This is basically a training kit. If I wanted truly accurate I would scratch build or get more accurate kit. (Assuming there is such a thing) This kit was on sale and had additional discount applied. Wood ships and boats are such fun to build! Very challenging.
     
    Never rigged anything before, I have built several small boats and have current build of brig going.
     
    Model Shipways seems to actually be a tad better, especially if one paints ship.

    This is actually a nice looking little boat, I have been almost fanatical about quality. Still missed a bit on planking, but it looks fine! Only I will notice flaws.
