Finally got an inspiration to finish the model so I started where I left off 5 months ago and added all of the davits and ship's boats:



Also painted the masts:

Pantyhose I got from my mother about 10 years ago, I figure that that one pair will last me for the rest of my life . As to attaching them - I just dip the end into the puddle of medium thickness CA glue and touch it to the place where it is supposed to attach-to. It's enough for it to glue itself to the deck. I give it couple of minutes to dry and then stretch it out and glue it to the other end. Its extremely strong, I accidentally pulled on one strand and broke off yard with it, but the string didn't break.
