Yep at 1/130 scale it'll be a challenge to do all the rigging. At that scale leave off the sails and just do the minimum to get your feet wet ( ) If you're interested start with something a little easier, and of bigger scale to get the hang of rigging. I use elastic thread sometimes (EZ Line)



I was thinking of leaving the sails off. Not sure if they would look all that convincing.
I might see about picking up the Endeavor that's recently been reissued. Seems to be a lot less involved. I have a roll of black EZ line for the WNW kits in my stash. Never thought to use on a ship, will have to try it.

Have ribbons been awarded?

Thanks Michael, but this was Thomas Wirsching's campaign. I just helped out. But I agree, there were some great builds here!

Apologies to Thomas! I should have gone back to the beginning of the campaign.

No worries Michael as I just had the idea for the Campaign but no idea how to make the moderator about it. So many thanks again for Tim for running this campaign. It was real fun

Mark,

Did you get your entry finished by the deadline? It looks like you were making good progress from the pix you posted. If it's done, would love to see the finished product!

This was my 1st campaign and I really enjoyed working on my Jenny. I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply but I had some health issues. So many great entries! I would like to thank Thomas for sponsoring this campaign and also, Tim for all of his help. Cheers and smooth sailing !
