How do you make the rigging for model ships?
The rigging on your model should replicate the rigging of the ship you are modelling but the scale of you model will affect this and the material you use for rigging. You will probably need some reference material or guide of some kind if your experience with rigged ships is limited as sailing ship rigging can be extremely intricate and complex. I would recommend a book such as 'Ship Modeller's Shop Notes' put out by the Nautical Research Guild, edited by Merrit Edson. It has great pieces written by the likes of Howard Chapelle and good articles on model ropemaking. Try your local library and if they don't have this they may have something else that will help.
