DenPink Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share #395 Posted July 26, 2014 I admire you Denis for undertaking such an ambitious build. Rigging is my least favourite modelling job. Hi Brian Thank you, but rigging is not my favourite job as well but we have to do it . I would sooner be planking and sanding . Roll on the "RW" :) . Denis.

Keith_W Posted July 26, 2014 Share #398 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Looks good Denis! Now you'll be snapping at my heels and the other RW builders when you start! BTW I love the way you lowered the yards with the furled sails. A little detail that many people omit.

Bindy Posted July 27, 2014 Share #407 Posted July 27, 2014 Hello Denis, I have been staring at your latest pics in absolute awe. To see the whole ship in the one photograph and how good each part is directly next each other really brings it all into perspective. Just perfect! I honestly can't think of the right words to say how good it looks. Would you settle for a *gasp*? riverboat and DenPink 2 Quote Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
