Some super work on these tiny models. I only hope my efforts at this scale will be even half as good. Really encouraging, though.
But I think I might start again with a 1:16 tank!

More great work!
(And excellent beer from Kibbennä as well!) What's not to like!?!

Thanks guys, after seven years of building time it was time to finish it.

Really nicely done - the rigging is spectacular. I'm about to start the Tamiya 1/350 Yukikaze with Infinite upgrade - hope my rigging comes out half as nice as yours.

Thanks Mike and Dave.
Mike I used thd riggging stuff from Uschi. It's quite easy with it.
In my gallery you find a picture how I made the complicated part at the rear mast.

I saw the picture with the numbers. Thanks for posting that. It looked like you started with the smaller lines that formed the boxes, then added the long lines that ran the length of the hull? I'm glad you posted that picture as I probably would have started with the long lines, then tried to make that lower box of lines, which probably would have been a harder way to do it.
Did you first prepare lines 1 and 2 off the ship, then attached them as a set? I haven't had to do anything that complicated yet.

I started with the lines between mast. After that I added the line between funnel and the line between the mast, step 1.
And I added the rear line on the platform, also step 1. Then I glued a line between the funnel line and rear platform line, step 2.
The last step is glueing the rear platform lin on the rear mast, step 3.

Thanks, that's really helpful! That's the way I think I would have done it as well. Really appreciate it as I'm hoping to start the Yukikaze later this year.
