USS Constitution sails


Gleep93

Recommended Posts

I'm currently working on a Revell plastic model of the USS Constitution. It's was a quick build, $20, but I have one problem. The plastic sails provides look very unrealistic so I was going to cut cloth sails out of an old t shirt. Is there any good process or way that makes the sails the same size and shape, otherwise than just trying to cut it and hope for the best?

 

Thanks,

Zach

Check out my build log I’m ALSO building Constitution and I’m currently at the same point in my build. You could also look at my HMS Victory build log for a slightly less complex method. Each involves stiffening the fabric and forcing it into the shape of a sail full of ind and bellied out.
