Right, so "panel"lining the sails on the Vasa looks like it'd be best done with a mix of Tamiya buff and white. Still no Tamiya white to be found anywhere in town. So I thought I'd start on the rigging a bit. And checking the instructions I'm supposed to do most of it before the sails are up anyway, so why not.
Bloody hell this is fiddly. That EZ-line I used for the USN Charette was a bloody miracle, doing it with actual thread is a completely different thing. Doesn't help that this thread will happily phase right through solid matter, including itself, in order to instantly undo any knot that hasn't been secured with some glue or varnish. Turn your back and boom, it's come undone.
So don't expect the "advanced rigging" here. I would not survive that.
