Koppalakki Posted November 6, 2018 Author #132 Posted November 6, 2018 I finished the top mast. Then suddenly I started to grave for some rigging. Few hours later the beast was rigged! Tried to get it as accurate as I could with the reference I had available. Also rigging being one of the things I strive to get better aswell! Maybe some mad rigging project next who knows! Also finished the Harpoon launchers if you didn't notice! Canute, cog, Tom E and 18 others 21 Quote

Koppalakki Posted November 12, 2018 Author #142 Posted November 12, 2018 Some smaller details I've been working on. Added some warning lights near the aft boom. Used some 0.2mm brass wire to get the basic shape of the lights. After this the light bulb section was build up using white glue. After painting the bulb section is first painted chrome silver, then some light clear orange. The usual electric lines added. One RQ-2 Pioneer standing on the platform ready to be launched. Some addition details to the pioneer equipment. Containers for the equipment added behind the aft turret. Started to add the life rafts. Some grab handle ladders and some leasure activities added. All the rest of the directors finished. Anchors and jack staff finished. Tom E, EricWilliamMarshall, GrandpaPhil and 15 others 18 Quote

Kevin If you look at real pictures of the ship you can see that there are 2 types of railing. Solid and ones with wires running through them. The ones painted black are simulating the wire ones. mtaylor, BETAQDAVE, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote
