Model - Constellation Americas Cup boat in Wood ship model kits Posted February 23, 2019 · Edited February 23, 2019 by Looseplank G'day all, Have posted here ages ago, however all appears to be gone now. OK, first up I must fess up to not building this one 🙄 In my defence I'd say due to the fact I still haven't finished by little scratch built ship, I had to have a display piece to soothe the anxieties 😀 So she stands about 1.5m high overall....but needs a really good clean and rigging replaced here and there. I wondering the best way to clean the sails? Not sure of the exact material, though it feels a little stiff and has a slight sheen. Just bung them in the washing machine or soak...thinking if I use bleach they come out too white? Hope to also ask advice regarding correct rigging etc as it doesn't look quite right to me.
