[TRM]

OK, that time again!!

A little bt of an update!!!

Using some common thread this time for rigging, I made a simple jig andpulled lengths taught and then applied some white glue to them. This stiffens the thread and knocks down the fuzzies.



For these particular rigging parts, I added some AK Dark Steel pigments simply by dipping my finger into the jar and then drawing the string between my forefinger and thumb.



This gave the string a steel like apprearance which helped in getting the look for the crane rigging.



With a couple of photo etch parts left over from another project and some fine wire, I made up some tiny hooks.

Here the remaining funnels have been added as well as the addition of the life boats hanging in the davits.



This was kind of a small update at the moment. In the next couple days I will have some more of the crane work done along with working the two masts!!!

As always, thank for stopping in!!!
