Shared builds (or many fingers in the pie)?

[Story]

Didn't find this topic broached before, so.... has anyone ever considered working with another modeler(s) on one subject?

I'm fine with hulls and masts but there's a couple of builds that have stalled because the rigging is admittedly beyond me (time, dexterity, powers of concentration, &etc, &etc).

I’ve found that after I’ve researched it all I can, I ask other people on the forum for advice. Sometimes, I just do it the way I want to when I see the advised way is too complicated. Are you looking for advice/tutorials/videos on rigging? There’s no cookie cutter approach, but I’m sure someone would be glad to share how they do it. I’ve asked Donnie, Jimsky, ClairG, and MystRacing for advice many times. Sometimes I’d pm them.

Looks like your model has run aground on cookies.

Don't be intimidated, just dive in and do your best or worst I have developed my skills in the past few weeks though following other builds and trying different things. I ask a question when I'm stuck and can't find the answer through a search. Soooooo much information online here. Just go for it.

Thanks for the responses.
It's not 'intimidated' but as Clint Eastwood has said, "a man's got to know his limitations".

Nope. The books have been on the shelf for ages, but I'm honest about having no desire to spend the time on that part of the build.

Hull, weapons, etc? No problem. I find that enjoyable and therapeutic.

That said, if anyone is interested in finishing the build in the original post let me know.

1:124th scale Confederate Privateer circa 1861, based on the Harriet Lane kit.
