Rorys Harbour and ships

[Devsdoc]

Lawrence,
Love the work. I think you could and will add to the models you get, and say s#d it and buy ships outside S.O.G. You can go off people you know!

Travis,
I use thread that you buy from a haberdashery (Big word for Little things). I use Langtons book "Guide to Painting and rigging 1/1200 Napoleonic Ships". One of the most helpful books I have. I think it would also work on the 1/1100 models too. Tip:- Do not use cotton thread.
Be safe
Rory

More on Rod's excellent book here. Well worth the cost of a model ship, IMHO. Since Rod's models are in many ways the inspiration for the SOG models through the styling used it would be nice if he picked up a bit of business from this :)

Thanks for the link and confirmation on the book. Will order it with my first order of models.

I'll order the book, or see if I can pick it up at Triples. I'll also get some of the buildings. Having seen Rory's harbour I fancy having something to shoot at that doesn't move. Plus you don't have to worry about rigging the things.

Unless with explosives.

That would make for an interesting scenario for a shore party.
