Kevin

as i am setting every sail including stuns, i was looking at the required area of calico required- i just now need to convert that - thankyou

good evening everyone i had the perfect opportunity to do lots on the build this weekend, and never took the advantage, oh hum but i have managed to continue with the the gun port rigging, the lines are not glued into the hull yet in case i decide i can do better and replace the lot, as Gils seam far tidier and lol anyone got any idea what square area i should allow for all the 30+ sails, including stuns all the best

Happy Birthday

lol as it is the wales that created (showed) up the error, i would get them out of the way,

Patrick, i did write a comment the other day, but deleted it, as i was stating the obvious, and we both realised it was going to result in a loss of your hard work (partial loss anyway), i presume the wales will go on next, and then rework the waterline, i used Medium c/a and even removing the tiles leaves a lip of glue that needs removing before you can place the tile next to it also have you done a covering over the tiles, which will affect the colouration All the best Kevin

thats an interesting point, i took the photo from Gil Middleton's build log

i think the card that you are using is briiliant, prior to glueing , are you making a duplicate for the other side?
