Yes I will be rigging, I actually really enjoyed the rigging section of my last model. First I have to get through the 3 small boats and the masts/yards which will probably take me another month or more.

brunnels Posted September 20 Author Share #124 Posted September 20 Ships Wheel, and Binnacle: Binnacle, Ivory white top, with WOP applied on the wood. I plan to add the securing ropes to the outside as well. Ships wheel. I wasn't sure I would like the wheel being made out of PE, but once built up it looks really good and to scale and not nearly as flat as I was expecting it to look. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to make the two ropes from below deck look like one rope wrapped around the drum. My solution was to just cut them both as cleanly as I could and glue them end to end at the bottom of the drum, It ended up looking better than I expected, and the two ropes split can only really be seen if you look pretty closely under the drum.

brunnels Posted Tuesday at 02:34 PM Author Share #125 Posted Tuesday at 02:34 PM Bow/Head Main Rail: Finished up the head railing with the large main rail patterns. These are 3 pieces glued together, then painted blue infill and WOP as a finish. Next I added all the eyelets and deck cleats to the Quarter deck and forecastle. I have also started on the Quarterdeck rail by gluing the bottom piece in place. cdrusn89, hamilton, TJM and 10 others 13 Quote Current Build HMS Sphinx, Vanguard Models 1:64 Scale Finished Builds: HMS Beagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
