Excellent model, Brian. Very nice indeed.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with the 'Real' rigging. Have you seen it yet? :cold-sweat: I would be content to do enough to make it look like rigging and obtain a result you are happy with. It's your model......
I use eezeline for the rigging. It has plenty of of stretch, but can bend masts etc. if you don't keep an eye on the stuff.
The rigging can be a pain. A good tip passed on to me was to try and keep the rigging in one piece as much as you can. Glue at a point and then up, down, along, whatever, tacking as you go. This way you only have one end to contend with. It takes a bit of planning and I hope yer folla!
Crane cables and life raft lashings will be a doddle after. :thumb2:

Ive only rigged two builds one a 1/700 and it was a lot easier than i thought it was gonna be, its got a lot of stretch so you dont have to pull to hard on it, my masts were fine.
Excellent job Brian and so fast, I would be still on the plans!!
HI BRI WAS THERE any difference between the rodney an nelson?

Thanks Bob.
Not too sure but I think the Nelson had more pom poms anti air and the Rodney had an aircraft

Looks very good Brian. Maybe a trip to a library could solve the problem. Personally £20-£30 on a book to help build a boat that has taken £300 out the beer token collection is a small price to pay.
That's a great build Brian, one to be proud of
Ian managed to get Nelson and Yamato both for £22 (Amazon) :smiling3:
Brian
Thanks Mick
I presume you mean the books, not the models....?:flushed:
