There's a few guys over at model ship world that do that scale my eyes while still pretty good that's worst than working 1/72 PE.I started the rigging the other night it's moving along well begs the question finish the Eugen or start the 1/200 Scharnhorst?
 
I am now working the the lines for the SS probably 15/20 more out front it's hard to get a sag?Maybe I need to go to stretched sprue?Some pics............

So,this is were I am at the rigging is completed I tried quite a few times to get a sagging line that is not hard getting two next to each other do the same thing.I finally in the end went a taut line though one or two are to taut that area out front of the SS was a little of a PIA till I just backed off an maybe try Mike's idea about some sprue for curved line on Mogami.I knocked off some planes that need to be reattached and the decals for the stern with some touchups in paint.I have done better rigging but they were on smaller ships but it seems the Graf Spee came out quite Nice.I will post one last set of pics later.
