Very well done, clean. Get some fine EZLine, it's very easy to do a nice rigging job with EZ and it adds so much to the model.

Thanks guys. It was my "learning", "easy" and "cheap" project, before i jump on something more...
And I must say, I though it will be less tricky. 😄 But I enjoyed the build and now I'm looking forward to HMS Exeter. 🙂
