The Ship Model Forum

[quote="Senkan"]I'm working on my 1/200 Yamato but I'm not at the rigging stage. I did buy this fishing line with the hope it works.

UNI-Caenis (Black) It's thin..maybe too thin. There are other fishing lines you can use.

I've never rigged a ship so I can't give you any pointers. What you might want to do is find a website that has some good pics of the 1/10 Yamato and take notes.

Here is an forum post by a master Jim Baumann. http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37536 might help if you want to use stretched sprue.

I'm also going to give you links to the models I like to reference. I don't think any tell you how to rig but you can get idea's from what they have done.

The one link to a forum post...the Yamato pics are on the next couple pages. Very nice model just wish the pics weren't so dark. All these sites have modified 1/200 Nichimo Yamato.[/quote]




Dear ,
you might consider to look at the completed Yamato Rigging Guide on page 1 of the Tipps & tricks.
Have a nice evening,

Hey Guys

Just finished my first 1/200 scale ship, pretty happy so far with how it looks, just have to do the finishing touch, the rigging.
This is where I'm lost, I have no idea where to start, how to start what to use for it.
Any information, links tips anyone has would be great, I've done some searches and I get lost in the results.
Anything you guys have would be great.

Thanks
