Re: rigging for dummiesI've been using Marquardt's Eighteenth-century Rigs & Rigging as a source for most rigging information. I've combined what I've learned there with the AOS book on my particular ship, and feel like I... |

Re: first projecttoo much of challenge?Hi Doug, My first (and so far only) model boat is the Endeavour kit by AL. It was listed as "intermediate difficulty" in the Model Expo catalogue. I don't regret tackling something like that without... |

On the Subject of RiggingI've noticed that the number of posts about planking considearbly outnumber the posts about rigging. My best guess is that beginning modellers throw in the towel on their projects at somepoint before... |
