"Black Seas Rigging Tutorial" Topic

Following feedback from a series of recent posts I have done looking at the work completed on my collection of the new 1:700th ships from Warlord Games, I have put together a downloadable rigging guide.

As well as the standing rigging I like to include running rigging to the models and hopefully this step by step tutorial will enable those that want to do the same thing to have a go.

If that includes you, then you can find out more by following the link to JJ's

Hi Jonathan,
I have read your articles on the link as I have been condidering 'having a go' at Black Seas. you have definely inspired me to pursue this in the New Year.
I have one criticism of your presentation of the models and I do not want to offend you in any way when I ask: Could the acrylic bases be somewhat thinner with maybe a chamfered edge?
That said the articles are very good and thanks for taking the time to share your efforts with us.

Thanks mate, that was useful to read. Having never even touched a model ship prior to Black Seas, I attempted the Constitution a few weeks back. Wish I had this guide then! The air around me matched the colour of the sea….deep blue; I managed a passable rig, but this would have made life easier no end.

cheers
Jon.

Thanks for your comments chaps.

Roger – Glad you feel inspired to get going with these models and no offence taken, these things are a question of individual taste.

I don't find the base thickness a problem, and they may appear more pronounced in the pictures because I am doing close ups of the models. They are 2mm so just thick enough to get hold off. I am not aware of a chamfered option.

Jon – Ha, all part of the learning curve and I feel your pain. Keep working at it as, like most things, it does get easier and better with practice.
