Looking great. Are you going to paint the rondel on A turret or find a decal? A one inch does the job
When you have done the rigging on this you'll be well set up for the Victory.
Failing that there is always one of the big ships series Aircraft carriers....not a lot of rigging on one of them.

Found a set of decals various sizes so all good
Not seen them Linky link pls
YES Bri i why not have a go at USS NIMITZ IN 1/350 TH SCALE as there is as Ian said hardly any riggin but there is plenty of scope to light her up with leds an such as i know plenty to do on it as ive built one an it would look fanstatic with all them planes on what a model that would be a show stopper for sure

Chris, had a look at the American carriers and to be honest they don't do it for me, think I might take a rest from modern warships looking at some armour (Tanks) or perhaps an F1 car
May I suggest going for the heller 1/100 victory just as nice being plastic you don't have to worry about all that planking and there is plenty of aftermarket stuff for it plus it's a darn sight cheaper
Wondering is it worth all the ball ache when you can hardly see the rigging
All the small boats in place now and guns painted

Thanks for that I will take a look :smiling3:
Had a look and the kit looks good only one problem seems the instructions are all in French lol After market stuff looks really good
the one I just looked at had English instructions...
In Denmark? (link pls)
They should have a set of both English and French the kit I had did and I now regret getting rid of
Yeah would have been good to keep
Looking ace Brian.
I know the rigging on any ship is a ball ache, but you can't not do it, having done so much great work on this ship.
How about a compromise and just do a part rigging? I do.......

I think this is the way to go and keep adding when I feel like
Looks good to me, and well worth the effort. If you don’t do it you will always regret not doing so, and it isn’t really any harder than some of the etch work you’ve already done.
Thx Peter it's ordered
