Thanks for tip on brass etch but a bit late for me as I've almost finish only the main railings to do. Maybe on my next build I'll try the vinegar etch, at the moment I've only primed the brass with Tamiya surface primer and that seems to work OK-ish. I'm at the moment doing the rigging and decided to try the wig hair you mentioned in your posting. Hear in SA many of the blacks use hair weaves or extensions and in consequence are very cheap I brought one for R10 that's about $1 and I have enough to rig about 100 models or more. I'll let you Know how it goes, but so-far it's looking good. One piece of luck I've had has been that I have not assembled the main bridge superstructure to the deck, and so I was able the rig the main mast signal rigging from the fore mast though holes in the flag boxes ( I thought they were air vent at first thanks to your post I now know better ) and glue the lot inside the superstructure and managed to get them tight without distorting the mast.
One question how does one post pictures in these posts or do I have to wait until I've completed 24 postings?
Happy modelling and we do this for fun. John the Pom.
