Will you be painting it for show, or waterlining it for gaming?

Thanks folks.

Show, a bit too delicate with all the sticky out bits for gaming.  A broken mast would be a disaster, what with rigging and all involved.

You don't really need rigging for gaming.

Problem is that with no rigging the masts are much more vulnerable, certainly on smaller scale ones.

As I said, it's not intended for gaming.

Roughly painted.  Got to start prep work for the rigging, i.e. drilling holes. That's followed by:
- 'final' hull painting
-  fitting decals
-  varnishing

Excellent stuff - that really does look like wood.

The kit as it comes is complete.  Definitely needs some rigging as it looks rather bare:



Can't claim credit for the fancy stripes - they're decals though some of them were devils to fit  :(

So in the lyrics ofa Sex Pistols song you will be "Frigging with the Rigging"

I expect there will be lots of friging as the thread gets a mind of its own , ties itself in knots and sticks to everywhere but where its supposed to.

Good Luck.
