popeye the sailor Posted March 5, 2021 #155 Posted March 5, 2021 the rigging looked sweet Mike........it was nice to get an idea on the gauge of this wire I'm using electrical cord wire for the rigging on the Arizona. it can be a bit unforgiving.......having to work kinks out when they occur. sag isn't a problem...once fashioned, it keeps it very well. I've bought a few types of thin beading wire in the past, that I thought would work......but in application, I found they they would work better on fishing vessels, and not on what I was using it for.

Landlubber Mike Posted March 5, 2021 Author #156 Posted March 5, 2021 I've picked up some beading wire too. It works ok in certain applications, but in others I've been less impressed. It seems very soft and prone to getting kinks, at least the type I picked up. You can also pick up very thin copper and even lead wire. If I remember correctly, I used something like 0.25mm and 0.45mm copper wire (maybe even thinner) for the pole and supports at the bow (not sure of what exactly that thing is called). The automotive modelers use a lot of this kind of wire for obvious reasons. I probably paid 10x from a model vendor what the cost would be if I knew where to source it from non-modeling applications, but it worked nicely.

What a chart like that and a ordering source does is allow you to grade your rigging on a 1/350th scale warship the same as they do for the wooden 1/48 scale ships.... Like my Gwin, the mast stays are 2 to 2.5 inch cable layed wire rope, about .008 inch in size, while the antennaes are usually 1/2 inch solid aluminum wire... about .0015 inch in scale...... the running rigging is 1/2 to 3/8th inch manila rope so that is where you use the 50 AGW size wire and just under .001 in size makes a 3/8th rope in 1/350th scale... Using wire, you can scale your rigging in 1/200th or 350th scales easy peasy..... I get fine motor winding coil wire cause it is enameled as insulation to prevent shorts, what this allows is you to use inks or very thin paint to color it without issues of the paint sticking..... Mucilage is used to glue it, yes mucilage, the same envelope paste used in decoupage when we were kids in school.....

Landlubber Mike Posted February 2, 2022 Author #166 Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) I'm calling this one officially done. I originally bought this model as a stepping stone to learning how to build plastic ship models with PE sets so that I could do the Hasegawa Shimakaze kit some Justice. It was a good model to learn the ropes on. Now, I'm just about done with the Shimakaze, but wanted to put it in a water diorama setting. So, I pulled out the Hatsuzakura and did my first waterline diorama setting. For the base, I used insulation foam board from Home Depot that I cut using a Proxxon thermocutter. The frame is basswood that I purchased from National Balsa in the widths and thickness I thought would look ok, which I then cut, sanded, and stained (on my next one, I might reduce the height of the base by a 1/4"). The sea was made using the crinkled aluminum foil technique, coupled with using Liquitex heavy gel gloss acrylic medium, and cotton for the white sea spray/wake. I'm pretty happy with how it all came out, though would probably do the wake a little differently next time. Figures were a combination of resin figures from FiveStar and NorthStar. The nice thing about them is that they are already fairly three-dimensional, unlike the PE ones you see from places like Eduard. I saw one model where the builder used Eduard but built up the figures using glued-on cornstarch, but that seemed like a bit too much work for this go around. Thanks for all the interest and help on this log. Really appreciate it!
