discussion Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

Still making fine progress. As for the PE ladders with non twisting treads - very strange. Could you use some generic ladders perhaps?

Hi Jim, I practiced on ones from King George V, Eduard again. No problem and you can see the difference! Going to leave, watch to finish it

Still breathing folks progress halted by a slip in the shower followed by a very painful back, could hardly walk so paracetamol and hot water bottles it was! Week later better.

So rigging practice. Previously I have used CA but now using resin and a UV torch. Working well. First practice on old kit of Graf Spee. Made a basic mast and messed about.



So today bit the bullet and started Tirpitz's main mast. No way accurate but I'll do as much rigging as possible to practice and hopefully improve.

Rigging looking good. What is the thread you're using? Resin cured with UV sounds interesting.

Hi Jim, infinity. With resin you of course have ages to place or move as the UV torch sets it off. Bought resin with a torch on evilbay

Tidy work Bob, looking very nice .

You must have a delicate touch to get that rigging placed that nicely.

Don't know about that Si lol, very fiddly but the resin is good, I control when to set it not the CA!
