The sails are great! I typically furl the lower sails, to keep the deck
clear. The heavy canvas holds its shape nicely, too.
|
yeah, it works pretty well, but due to the weave, wants to come apart at the
edges if you are not careful!
|
A light brushing of dilute PVA glue might help with the fraying.

hmmm... ill have to give that a try.

See my other post. But now you’ve got me thinking about revising the colour
scheme.... ;-)
|
thanks for all the nice compliments! i really look forward to seeing your
next ship, and hopefully i will start another one in a month or so, maybe
larger!
|
There’s nothing like a bit of inspiration! HMLS Frivolous now has two
sides... one built straight up from the hull pieces, the other using inverse
45deg slops to widen it. Obviously one will be dismantled and reset at some
point... I just can’t decide which at the moment. And it’s grey too... who
would have thought?

lol, i thought i was the only one who did that “i have 2 ideas on how to build
my ship, so i will built one side as such, and the other this way, and decide
what i like”. sometimes, i even forget that the other side is still built
differently, and dont notice until its almost done. :-) i have never tried
increasing the width with inverse slopes, though you seem to use it on the
majority of your larger ships. i cant figure out how to build the part where the
inverse row of slopes ends and the regular width of the bow and stern sections
begins, if that makes any sense. i kind of wish i could find a way to increase
the width of my ships though, because the cannon on the top deck are really
close, and it just looks kinda funny to me. i would like to free up more deck
space for my intrepid sailors! i am glad i could inspire someone! i have taken a
lot of inspiration from .pirates, and it is nice to be able to make a
contribution. (and along the way to strike a little fear into the non-british
sailing types ;-) ) thanks!
