as any one would say, slowly but surly, there is no point rushing, the job at hand might not turn out as good a one would like if its rushed..

nice to see she is coming along..  ^^^

Hi all Melanie folks.
I am building this wonderful model, and  I have a question about the rigging. How thick are the threat

Thank's

Hi Jesper,
I have used Caldercraft rigging thread on a 96:1 model. I used 0.1mm diameter natural thread and it looked realistic (i.e somewhat understated) and should be Ok for your model.  ^^^ http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft_thread.html
