Airfix 1/600 HMS Fearless

[Ettienne]

There is a build log on this lady.

Soopa!
The helicopter blades look the part, a minor feature but effective...not many modellers get that droop right.
The rigging must be very fine; I can't see any.
The ugly Airfix ship 'girder' stands do nothing but emphasise the kit origins.
Well done, Ettienne.

Thank you for your kind words.
The rigging is indeed fine, too fine unfortunately. I have used 0.02 rigging line, as my 0.03 went missing.

'E', to rig a model with that fine line was an achievement in its self.
If you want to try, a paint weted brush run flat along the line will re-materialise it.

Gentleman and perhaps ladies, thank you for al the kind words, supportive words and constructive information. Much obliged. Will be on a new project in the coming months.

Ettienne, I look forward to your next build. Magic Mike
