Sugar carrier Meinga 1:400

@Decaturbeginner, tkank you!
@wireandpaper, thank you! I am happy to hear that it shows my skills have been increasing.

I added lasercut railings which made such a difference (got them separately, they are not a part or the model). Loved building this ship. So Sugar carrier Meringa is finished!!!

Rigging made with synthetic threads, instead of elastic ones which I used in my last model, Carpathia. The elastic threads were so much easier to control!!!
The model is finished, but I'm gonna add some lasercut railings to make it look nicer. I made a little drawings of where the railings supposed to be. This drawing, together with Sugar Exporter railings' drawing will be available on JSC website soon. However, if somebody needs Meringa railings' plan now, please let me know via jsc email and I will send you a PDF.

What sort of issues did you have using the synthetic threads, instead of elastic ones?

@Don Boose, thank you passengership / transatlantic ship is my next project, not sure which one yet.
@Alan - Herky - thank you
@Alan - Positive_Rate - I couldn't get the same threads' tension on both sides of the ship. Elastic ones were much easier to control, and when tension is not the same on both sides, it is not noticeable. It's just a matter of practise I guess
