RGL Posted March 1, 2019 Author #361 Posted March 1, 2019 There’s a very tasty MK1 design upgrade for it which is a lot more detailed than Infini Models. Keeping to my mantra of 3 per nation, as tempting as Yorktown is, Trumpeter have commissioned the box art for Langley in CV-1 from Randal Wilson (he does most of their box art, and displays his work on FB), which would mean it’s a kit I’d love to build asmy 3rd US ship. Graf Zeppelin would be my third German. I have no interest in Tirpitz etc as they’ve been done here already. cog, Piet, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Greg

popeye the sailor Posted March 8, 2019 #378 Posted March 8, 2019 the netting looks amazing Greg........are there weights along the bottom of the nets to keep them down?

CDW Posted March 9, 2019 #383 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) The entire model is an outstanding piece of work, but the way you figured out that torpedo net rigging then modeled it is most impressive. It's quite a maze of rope, cables, and pulleys. What kind of Jedi mind tricks did you use to keep the net held in place while you lined it up and rigged it to the booms? That's clearly an alignment nightmare to overcome.

However, I was looking at your finished model and thinking how the rigging for your torpedo net booms might be very similar to what would have been found on the Mikasa I was working on. I temporarily stopped construction when it came to the torpedo net boom rigging because I had no idea how the booms were rigged. The Pontos set for my Mikasa did not come with a drilling template.
