Although I really enjoyed the work on this one more is just pain in... well... you know where.<br /><br />A good hint with soaking the line. Actually I thought of something like that either with white glue or with super glue but then the mischief happened...<br /><br />And for the addiction to Langton ships... Too late !<br />For now I have five other vesels and a couple of rowing boats but the enjoyable work on the HMS Royal Sovereign planted the idea to recreate the Lee Column of Trafalgar in my head...<br /><br />Cheers<br />StefanStefan (aka.

I've found the metal sails to be the better choice for Langtons - The brass ones look nice but are difficult to work with and are that durable on the table top.<br /><br />The rigging looks great and is more than I usually add for table top models. If one was to do an "accurate rigging" you'll need approximately 15-20 control lines per mast - that's just crazy talk!<br /><br />One trick I've learned with cotton thread rigging is to wet the thread is a 50/50 water / white glue mix - sagging lines will be greatly reduced.<br /><br />fantastic work - but be careful, those Langtons are very addictive!jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145263361070888644.post-39581170992089910712014-11-22T10:09:43.021+01:002014-11-22T10:09:43.021+01:00She's a beauty!
