Hello I add my latest work, six ships docked for a harbour of a client. The ships are generic ships, no name or nation flags. They are three ships of the lines and three merchant ships. I hope you like that. Best regards,

Enjoyed it so much it sent me to Langton Miniatures to learn more. (Stress that I stick to 28mm figures but love to see work like this). The detail is just incredible. I suspect that pen, to illustrate their size, is one of those novelty things that is about 3 feet long…….. Or maybe not…… |

The signal flags along the top lines are a really nice touch. - Ix |

Nice job. There are lots of materials to use for rigging – what do you use? |

Not my period of gaming, but the work it beautiful.
The patience and steadiness of hands to master such work, especially the rigging, beyond my imagination.
Well Done! |

Thank you sirs, Lucius: I use polyester threads of the Gütermann brand. To make the fine strings of the signal flags I used polyamide thread which is even thinner but harder to work it. |

Lovely work, I am always impressed by the work that goes into rigging models like these. To go off on a slight tangent, my late father was working on a model of the clipper Thermopylae but the rigging was beyond him in his latter years. It will fall to me to complete the model at some stage and I was wondering whether the very fine gauge brass wire you get around rioja wine bottles could be used instead of thread. Has anyone tried this idea? |

As Part time gamer above, not my area. BUT, I am VERY happy that I clicked on your link. That is some great work. Thanks for sharing, even a lunk like me can appreciate it. |

Thank you for your comments. DHautpol: The thinnest thread that I have found is the polyamide thread. I think it is the most realistic thread for this type of work but it is quite complicated to work with it. |
