Looking good Mark, agree I do like the contrast of colour with the wood deck.

Looking very Good Mark, one of your crewmen has had too much Saké before painting the Hinomaru's on one of the aircraft but that is really nit-picking. Great work,

what did you use for the rigging lines? im assuming that it isnt stretched sprue, from what i can see. Did you use something as a guide to do them? if so, what?

Thanks for the comments Gents much appreciated. To rig all my Ships I use a product called E-Z-Line. It is like a polyester string that holds it's shape well even when you stretch it.....Cheers mark

its what i plan on using as well. is it difficult to keep taught? i have a concern with it pulling on PE and putting alot of pressure on things, and seperating it from where it is glued.
how many spools of ez line did you go through? and what did you use for reference?
