Revell Thermopylae

The ship is looking good. If the part that has broken is the bit that hangs down from the bowsprit, it is a called a martingale. You could shape a piece of dowel and use that to replace the plastic part.

Hi thanks mate, apparently it's called the catshead and the bit that's broken is called the whisker.

Amazing work and dedication Ken, just the rigging and sail work alone would put me into apoplectic stitches
Nothing unusual for you though...Great work so far.................Jim

Superb work Ken. I've been quietly watching progress from the wings, and she's really getting a beating heart now....

Terrific stuff.

Looking good Ken, it was models like this that got me into modelling. But I do not have the patience for all the rigging.

Well I'm livid I was hoping to finish this tonight (so close and now so far) I picked it up to turn it round to do the rigging on the left side of the second mizzen sail and it slipped from my fingers, if I'd let it fall it would probably landed on the floor on it's stand with no damage instead clumsy me tried to save it I broke the bowsprit (again) it took Supreme control not to hurl it at the wall I've managed to create a heath Robinson collection of weights and threads to pull it all together and get all the rigging true (the dolphin striker will be a bit twisted though) I'm hoping when all set it will still all be true and I won't have to strip all the rigging off and start again. I really am cross, I mean really cross, I came so close to finishing her grrr.
