Very nice work - How did you do the antenna part of the rigging ?

Are you planning on another base for it ?

Cheers/Jan

Hi,

Thanks for kind words.

Jan, antenna is coming with the Tomsmodelworks IJN Sub. Set. You only need to roll it.
I will do something for the basement. Paint it wood may be...

I tried that once with that same set and turned it to garbage. Yours looks really good. It turned out great. Did you use a small drill bit to help roll it?

Hello Anthony,

I used different size brass rods 1-0.4 mm, starting from the larger to narrower. This was the hardest part of p.e work. Even 0.4 mm. diameter rod was not enough. Then I was bored too much and just glued edges. Not fully satisfied with this crab trap anyway...
