Is this the new tool kit? We're not allowed to look at the ATF! Lol

[Johni044]

Indeed it is, last time I looked it was a free country

[chief5437]

Cool! I remember doing the gladiator as a kid. Always liked it so might have to treat myself.
I wonder if Paul, Lee or Guppy have any ideas for the rigging?! Lol

[Johni044]

Mmmmmmm, can't see too much from that picture but it is rigged.



The above picture was taken before the lines were tightened.

I have a 1:700 Titanic that I have to put rigging on.

If I cock it up it could ruin the whole model .... not looking forward to it.

Whoa! That's a LOT of rigging! Maybe I'll change my mind about getting one, lol!

[Johni044]

It's deceptive, and a rigging diagram is included in the instructions.

Very nice indeed, I really love the rigging and how you did it

[Modelpro72]
