| Once in a while what I call a “utility” photoetch offering
will come along, one that is generic in nature and could prove to be very
useful.  This new photoetch set from L’Arsenal is one such “utility”
set. |

| The rigging set is comprised of a series of rings in two
styles.  The Style A ring is a loop attached to a rod and are used
as an attachment point on decks and superstructures.  Simply drill
a tiny hole and insert the rod with some CA into the hole to fasten it. 
The Style B ring is a loop attached to a tab and to be used on yardarms. 
Clip the attachment tab and glue it to the yardarm. The packet comes with 2 stainless steel frets each comprising of 74
Style A rings and 32 Style B rings for a grand total of 148 Style A rings
and 64 Style B rings.  Stainless steel is a good choice for the rings
because it makes them stronger attachment points. | Click images to enlarge

| Conclusions: This set would be a good one to have in your tool kit and at 2.95 Euros
(about $3.25 US) it is inexpensive and a very good value. |
