Ahhhh, rigging on ships.... my nemesis, I take my hat off to you for achieving it with stretched sprue. Great work Rob.

Thanks Roger. The deck is painted with humbrol enamel. Then I picked out the planking with coloured pencils and a wash of valle jo burnt umber. A second wash of valle jo sepia was then added

Nice work Rob. That's a big job you've got ahead of you with the rigging, but looks great so far.
