Hey James! Thanks for posting this, it looks very crisp and clean. Best looking class of all the American WWII heavies. Railings look superbly done. Might just pull up a chair to follow.

I admire your clean and flawless application of the PE railing! A promising start! How did you glue those?

I pre-bent the the PE then dipped them slightly into CA glue and carefully placed them with tweezers. Glad to hear you all think its come out well! xD

You are overmodest, James. Really, this is a lovely job!

Are all those PE parts supplied in the kit?

James Morten
yeah, you get 4 large sheets which in addition to the fantastically detailed plastic makes the kit really really good value for money!!

Finally back at work on the ship after my holiday! I also have bought some thread for rigging but cant find anything online to base it off, any help would be fantastic!

A guideline by the master of rigging itself, Mr. Jim Baumann. Most of his tips & tricks are most helpful, anyhow what kind of rigging thread you use.

I have Van der Rosten 0.005 after seeing people use it to great effect on YouTube, certainly looks like it's going to be thin enough

Sorry for the break in progress, went off to my first year at uni in September so had to pause my progress but hope to get plenty done in the 4 weeks I'm back!
