Thank you. It is now yet another pause in the build. I am currently working on Hellers french tuna-fishing boat in 1:125 scale.

It is 1:110 but maby when it was a new kit it had another scale on the box? Rumour has it that it can happen...

Update on the Bounty: As seen in my picture the riggingprocess is extremly slow. Life and some other models got in the way of it. The sails are not yet there. And if one look closely in the background on the black shelf there is a Heller tunafish-vessel waiting to be completed...

Thank you. Rigging has came to a halt right now but I will in a double sense : pick up the thread!

Taking a short break from rigging building Revells 1:1200 Titanic! (the irony of the name and scale! :D I expect it to be a quick one.

Rigging Revells Bounty. Eeh..The drawing is not the best so i had to go to the museum to check out acurate models from the 18th and 19th century. apparently the rigging variates depending on the type of ship. Seems logical. But I realize that I should have waited with the ratlines until after...

Yes. that would be the easiest thing to do. I cannot sew sails.

For various reasons progress has been slow but now I´m back in the saddle or perhaps on poopdeck?

This is another shipmodel also sadly anonumus because I forgot to take info on its name.

Sadly I didn't get the name but yes I took a few more pictres but not so good quality. I will post another tomorrow. The flag is Sovjet! These models were in the old hangars from 1916! A part of Tallin called " Kalamaja".They survived two worldwars and communism!

The sad thi8ng considering the anchor is that IRL there was and is on every ship of this kind two holes in the hull for the anchorline but not on this model and I just wanted to move on. I should perhaps tried to drill a hole but....I don´t know if I'm up to it, at the moment. But it has to be...

Revells ancient kit with a lot of troubles but one day it will bi finished. See the bizarre arrengement of the achorrope in the bow...

I hope you post pictures. Considering the Beagle one can remove the name and call it something else. Just not the Beagle. :D

I have similar experience with vallejo. Maby on bigger flat surfaces there can be a bit of a problem with brushstrokes beeing visible. But on say a sailingship with planks etc I don´t think it should be a problem.

Danish company Billing boats has a section of "starter kits" Check them out. Thet might not be the cheapest kits around but they have a goos reputation over here.
