Little bash at rigging, spot the bending mast lol

Between masts is thread for 1 350 - 1 200 and rear mast to rear aerial is 1 700 - 1 350. Not sure which is more accurate.

Not all together happy, had some success butting the thread onto the masts but some ran over the top and almost impossible to cut back. Really need to find a way to use accelerator!

More practice needed

 

[BattleshipBob]

Been having a go at the main railings. First 2 bits not to good but better after these

Got starboard to do, should have some left to try out on superstructure.

Used PVA and run railings through a pool of it diluted with water. Not too bad but a lot of rooms for improvement!

On the bad news front snapped the mast in 3 places, had to remove my poor rigging attempts, bugger, bugger, bugger!!!! Will leave off masts until last in future!
