Still making fine progress. As for the PE ladders with non twisting treads - very strange. Could you use some generic ladders perhaps?
Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

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.

Afternoon or early evening folks
It's been a long time, with too hot weather for me and Julie having problems with a change of meds, but back at it! Added the float plane hanger / main mast, added basic practice rigging. Have learnt to add PE and rigging in the future, as late as possible with superstructure fitted to hull. Did rigging with resin and UV light, improving.
But thats the idea, learn as I ruin, sorry go along. Going to finish the rear superstructure, so 3D AA next.

Thanks Tim appreciated
Hi John, very kind, but not yet worthy of this prestigious award. Getting there, albeit slowly
That rigging is looking very good Bob
Many thanks, learning ( and swearing) as I go!
Rigging is amazing.
To kind!
See, others think the same Bob, its just down to practice and learning a new skill, bit like wiring a Scania
