Hi Graham,

talking to the media for adding rigging, personally I don't like copper wire since it elongates in case of accidental contact with a finger.

And there is no mean to schrink it.

Taking into account the scale, I do suggest nylon fishing line (the thinniest).

Remeber, it must be applied "wet", otherwise it will loosen afterwards due to the humidity of the air.

Hi Graham

here are some drawings that can help you.

Check the period relevant to the version you are looking for.

Hi,

maybe I've the proper answer.

looking to my plans coming from a numbered copy of the 1975 L.B. Jenson drawings book I found that the "object" (altough square and not round) placed exactly where the round one in the picture is, must be a scuttle.

Look to my attachment and check the perfect correspondence between the position of the square "object" and the location of the purposely made opening on the deck structure.

There is no reason but for a passage for such an arrangement of the deck construction in that place.

These rules are a little bit stringent in that my usual way of making ship models (both static and dynamic) - from scratch - foresee the use of different  media. i.e.: wood, metal, plastic, resin, etc.

Now, how can I start a topic?

Thanks in advance for the suggestion.

Hi Mike,

a glossy coppered surface maybe appears too shiny and not realistic.

Better to protect the surface with some sort of removable material.

Try with the clear plastic used to envelope the food for the fridge.

You can substitute it from time to time as it wears.
