Great of you to share this, Rory! Surprised you rig your ships laying on their sides… do you find it easier than rigging them upright?

Rory actually does them on his lap, his knee I believe! I'm sure he will explain when he sees this.

SPACE, I had limited space to start with. So I always paint on a "not so white" cloth across my knee and a strong light off my right shoulder. I tried mounting the ships on different bases and blocks, they got in the way and rolled of my lap. I find it better now not to to do this, so as I can get all around the ship. I have just done some oared ships. They are very hard to do as the oar-blocks keep flipping them up-right as I rig them. Blo##y things! I most say sorry about the some of the photos as I was learning that as I went a long with the guide. Be safe Rory P.S. Vol, just looked at this. Will PM you soon.
