Hi,
I'm planning my first ship build in a very long while and seeing how kits evolved since I last touched one I was wondering how to go about installing/glueing PE railings in place. I was searching for tutorials but there is a surprinsingly low amount of information on that.
I read something about three possible methods:
glue on the side of the ship and hide the edges under putty => lots of work and not very realistic?
glue on it edge => extremely fragile?
use thin wire to reinforce the PE parts from the inside then use tiny holes for fixing to the deck => sounds about the best method so far
Rigging is a similar subject as far as a beginner is involved... How to do that and what materials to use? I've seen a tutorial about rigging biplanes using some Uschi van der Rosten materials. Is that all?
Any source of information you might care to share is greaty appreciated! Thank you!
PS: Are there any good modelling magazines with ship building topics?
