Do post your results as there;s more than a few who would like to know also.

Terrible news but on the bright side.. it's wood and can be fixed. B.E. I think is on the right course. The other is simply "wall side/view side" or paint.

No worries. Real life has to always come first. The work shown on your updates looks great.

You might try contacting Mantua here: https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/ They do have a download area on their website that might have what you need.

BeeWee, I'd take the model with you to the hobby shop for them to advise and help on the right saw or saws. Part of our problem with suggestions is we're not seeing the kit so the concept of "saw" can vary wildly. It sounds like you would need something like Bob Cleek in the photo at the bottom of his post. Or even one of last couple of blades from the middle photo.

John, I second Marc's request about a build log. Looks to be an incredible work.

Welcome to MSW, Pocojo. There's a whole area devoted to rigging... https://modelshipworld.com/forum/16-masting-rigging-and-sails/ It's very searchable using search feature here at MSW (upper right side of every page.

It should be noted that POW ships usually had markings on them but this one didn't. There are still questions as to why it didn't no answers. And yes, Japan did use the markings but in later days near the war's end, apparently they stopped for some reason.

One can buy small alligator clips to help taunt the line. However, some have "teeth" that will damage the line so look for ones with no teeth. There's also small paper claps that will work also.

Just an amazing amount of research and knowledge here leading to some compelling possibilities. Way beyond my pay grade.

Welcome to MSW, Pete. Do feel free to open a build log for each of those projects. It's a great way to get help and also meet others.

Good to see the new log, Kieth. This is one I'm looking forward to seeing as your builds are always well detailed and exceptional.

Congratulations on the silver metal. -
Keith,, I really think that you ought to consider starting a log on the Cangard even if it's just a research topic in this area: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-types/

That's truly great news, Hakan. I'm with the others... enjoy real life and save the model for rainy days.
-
But it would be fun to mount them around the house with the barrels out the windows. I'll get my coat....

Beautiful work, Yves. I see why you like the larger scales as one can do so much detail.

While those deadeyes do look great, I do think all of us are more concerned about your health then deadeyes.

Looking good, IMO. If the rib bugs you, consider painting the inside of the cap black. It'll pretty much hide that rib.

Very disturbing. Back in grade school, we had to take Home Economics well as a shop class. Learned to cook and sew and the apron was worn in both classes. The girls had to take shop also. We also had a "co-operative" high school. Sophmore thorugh senior year. Covered a lot trades and business courses and even nursing. You picked the area and took the courses. In your 3rd and 4th year, you worked 2 weeks and then school 2 weeks. That schedule alternated for the entire calendar year.

Good that you're listening to the lady, Chuck. Sometimes we just need someone to put their foot down on us so we can get better and recover.

Fixed the title for you.
