The sea look really good, as does the ship

Hi all well I know nothing about rigging so I'm going to do a cross between the Airfix instructions and ones I've downloaded off the internet (I could not possibly do them the way they are supposed to be, I don't have a clue as to where to start) I dont even know what the different lines are called.

Hi all well the amati Loom A Line is total rubbish, the airfix doodah is brill though, so that is 10 quid down the drain, the airfix whatsit was free with the Wasa.

Rigging is deffinitely not my thing, I am thinking maybe take the top mast off just leave the lower masts and have it as its having a refit, don't know.

[Guest]

Hi all well I've decided to plug away at the rigging and here's where I am now, I've discovered I can do more than one set at a time with this thingy, thus saving loads of thread.

Well I know it's not finished but it's sold, my boss's husband came round to show me his car (some little horrors standing on a bridge lobbed a rock as he drove under and stoved in his drivers pillar and windscreen (the cars only a fortnight old £90,000 worth) he spied it and the Reale and said the Reale was too big for his new seaside house but he would buy the sovriegn.

Just caught up on this build Ken, and I'm glad I did. Some great work going into this

[Guest]

Nice job ken well done. doing the paddle steamer out of match sticks started with the king plank (front part) but keeping it static and as you know doing the same boat in remote control.


My pics are under boats under construction. P.s. no more mad ideas please

Absolutely Beautiful! Don't think I could EVER deal with all those lines and "rigging" I guess you would call it {not a ship guy} Fantastic work and obvious patients I feel if I attempted such a project I would be found in a tangled frustrated heap on the floor Also the water effects look awesome, Great work.................Jim

Looking very very good Ken


But watch out for the ironing board on the port side

[flyjoe180]

Wow, amazing work Ken, loving the sea base and the rigging. Fabulous job on this old kit.
