RGL Posted July 10, 2019 Author #226 Posted July 10, 2019 Kevin, there are several variants of denier rigging, Infini, Uschi etc. you just need to get different diameters, some are so thin you can hardly see them. I pretty much use CA glue for everything, using different quick or medium depending on the task. Piet, popeye the sailor, Canute and 3 others 6 Greg
RGL Posted July 11, 2019 Author #227 Posted July 11, 2019 A major part of the build is now done. There are 4 radio masts on the side which I can’t do until the planes are put on the flight deck.

Ian B Posted July 17, 2019 #238 Posted July 17, 2019 This build is getting silly now---- it just keeps getting stupidly better and more detailed than i thought possible...🥴🥴 Piet, popeye the sailor, hof00 and 4 others 7 HMAV Bounty 'Billings' completed ⛵ HMS Cheerful - Syren-Chuck' completed Steam Pinnace 199 'Billings bashed' - completed ⚓ HMS Ledbury F30 --White Ensign -completed 😎 HMS Vanguard 'Victory models'-- completed Bismarck Amati 1/200 --underway 👍
RGL Posted July 18, 2019 Author #239 Posted July 18, 2019 I thought I’d add a little bit of extra detail it took about 3 days, I wanted to perhaps do a seaplane that would act as a recovery or guard plane like they have helicopters, but the only one I really liked is about $100USD for a 1/350 plane that is not with it, so a fast patrol boat it is. Came out quite nicely, bashing the guns. Then it gets parked Beef Wellington, Ryland Craze, Canute and 11 others 14 Greg
