Hello All, My first ship in a lo-o-ong time. It's the Airfix Mary Rose, picked up for silly cheap in an Airfix sale to take my paints order over the free shipping threshold. The kit and its decals are really nice, in sharp contrast to the nigh-on 60 year old moulds in the rest of this series. It looked too toy-like without any rigging, so I did some basic rigging, much simplified! The rigging is brown sewing thread de-fuzzed by running it through PVA glue and squeezing out the excess between my fingers. I constructed the ladders by winding thread around a notched rectangular frame made from one of the sprues, gluing the thread together with brushed-on dilute PVA and then cutting the ladders out with scissors when everything was dry. I am successfully resisting the urge to find out what the real rigging was like, so this can stay on the finished pile! Thanks for looking, Adrian
