look'in really good  :)   for the life rings,  the plastic rope can be cut off,  and thread {rope} can be attached to them.   I used to do the {pain in the butt} method of simply cementing the rope on,  but have since changed to tying the rope on.  it actually looks much better,  since I can paint the entire ring red {or a suitable color}, and lash the rope on.   using white thread to lash the rope on,  gives it the four corner white sections to the rings,  and a little more added detail.  

I yam wot I yam!

Good idea. I will look into this evening. I saw this on your build and I think it is an easy change to make.

Continuation of the rigging for the nets.thenets were a little shorter than the holder y about 2.5cm so I used chains to attach them.

yea....I kept comparing the nets to the rigs,  just to make sure they were wide enough.  for the beads,  I strung them on some thread and air brushed them.  if that's the kit box under the plates,  what is that box off to the side?  did you get a fitting kit?   good for you!!!!  more parts the merrier!  ;)

Time to attach the buoy line.

As I was preparing the dry fitting of the nets to the ship. I discovered that I made a mistake. The poles hold the nets were poining forward instead of back. This was making the nets been off-centered. I had to remove them and rigging them again. Not too bad, just a bit nerves racking.... 😥

Here is an example of the dry fitted net. 😊

This is just some replacement parts since some were missing  from the kit when I received it. 

Do you have any suggestions on how and where to rig the anchor?

Last minute enhancement. Remove the plastic buoys from the ship. Cut off the fake roping and redid with real rope. 20180618_213954.thumb.jpg.ef3c39a0a0099df7f0920589a26e0d8e.jpg20180618_220925.thumb.jpg.60f0680459835fcf5252c5569a3eb4dd.jpg

Very nicely done. She looks fantastic. You must be proud of her.

 

Thanks for providing such a comprehensive build log. This will prove invaluable when I reach the netting and rigging on my shrimper. You have thrown a good light onto the mystery of how these are assembled.
