Thanks for the comments. The funnels finally finished and rigged. The rigging is only 0.2 mm, but looks thickerView attachment 89005

Thanks for the comments, here are a few photos of the rigging. I tried to do the rigging from the lines between the masts, but to put get tight lines deformed the overhead lines which are made from ez-line, so I left them out. In my next model I am going to try 0.2mm gun metal coloured copper wire.

Next stage is the guns, railings and a few bits of photo etch that attach to the out side of the hull, which if done before would make fitting the railing difficult.

Nice work Graham. That rigging must have taken a few deep breaths. lol
