Brian's 1/200 HMS Nelson Build

Ian managed to get Nelson and Yamato both for £22 (Amazon) :smiling3:

Nice on Brian. I will warn/advise you of this now. Rigging takes time and a mind set. I build my hood over a couple of months, rigging it to completion took it up to a year. Doing a bit at a time WHEN THE MOOD WAS RIGHT force it and it will go wrong!
Study the drawings. take copies you can write on and alter. (computer editing is ace for this remove the bits in the way on the PC and then print out for reference).
Start in the middle of the Ship and work out to the edges.
Make a couple of tools. (or buy) A stift wire (piano wire) make a point in the end and then form an open hook. The straight bit being long enough to reach athwartships. (one side to the other that is). Likewise a Superglue tool that can reach deep into the center of the deck area.
Other than that it is good light, clean specs and a steady hand. (And a positive attitude).

Made a start on the rigging but not happy with what I did :tired: Will keep going back to it as and when.
