Rigging (different question)
I have seen rigging line on wood ship models that looks perfect for my 1/192 scale USS Cairo. I have some that came with my Bluejacket Victory ship, but it's too large in diameter. Can anyone tell me where I can get really THIN thread type rigging line that will accomodate 1/192 scale?

Dear Rusty,
Try a firm in the UK, The Model Dockyard of Truro in Cornwall. Their website is http://www.model-dockyard.com
They have fittings by all the Italian model ship makers such as Amati, Mantua, Sergal etc. He will have rigging lines in both black and natural in diameters down to 0.1mm.
Give him a ring and you'll find him extremely helpful.
Kind regards,
David Griffith
