Mayflower by jeffzcubfan - Revell - 1/83 - PLASTIC - 1972 edition

So its been decades since I last did a model. I did the Mayflower over 40 years ago. It was damaged beyond repair while I was deployed overseas. I figured I'd start back in and replace this model. I got the 1972 kit off of E-Bay. It comes with the plastic rat lines so I thought I'd make them myself for a more realistic look. 

 

Let's see if my skills as a modeller/painter have improved over time and if my hands and I eyes can handle doing rigging.

Gotten the basic start and initial painting is still in progress. After all these years it feels almost like I'm back at my dad's hobby table where I was working on this the first time.
