Dear, An
your battleship REPULSE is very nice.
I have one question concerning the Rigging .
How do you realize these rigging ?
Because, For each ship that I build , I have the same problem of the quality of the final rigging.
thanks in advance

Regards

Dear Didier,
Thanks
I started my rigging only few years ago and still finding a best way to do it.
Now I use black stretched sprue for rigging, thiner and easier to handel.

Good luck

Fantastic work An Chu!!

Great level of detail throughout. The photo-etch fabrication, the painting and the rigging are all beautiful.

I (speaking on behalf of all here at MSW) would love to see more of your inspiring work.

thanks for sharing,

Frank
