JerseyCity Frankie Posted March 6, 2016 Share #92 Posted March 6, 2016 The color of the sails is perfect! They are very convincing "working boat" sails. Too often people use bright white for the sails and it gives the model an unearthly appearance. Also I am always saddened a little when I see a completed schooner or other for-and-aft vessel and they decided to leave the sails off. All that lovely space above the deck looks so cold and empty without the beautiful canvas filling the negative space. Your model looks great and I cant wait to see what you will build next. Congratulations. dgbot, Moxis and mtaylor 3 Quote Quote Niagara USS Constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxis Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share #93 Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks Patrick, aviaamator, Pete, Mark and JerseyCity Frankie for your kind words. And all likes as well! I have studied hard different catalogues of the companies selling ship plans, and today it seems that I will place my order for French cutter Le Cerf: http://ancre.fr/en/monographies-en/34-monographie-du-cerf-cotre-1778.html With the 11 different sheets included in the package I believe that the plans are accurate enough to see where all the ropes are connected etc. Also the hull is clincker built, which gives me new challenge how to build it as cleanly as possible. We will see.... mtaylor, aviaamator and Omega1234 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviaamator Posted March 19, 2016 Share #94 Posted March 19, 2016 It will be a serious test for You, Matti! Good luck! mtaylor, Omega1234 and Moxis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted March 19, 2016 Share #95 Posted March 19, 2016 That will be challenging, Matti. I'm not sure if it includes the frames.

Omega1234 Posted March 19, 2016 Share #96 Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Hi Matti Nice challenge you've picked there, but no doubt, it'll be a 'walk in the park' for you (judging by your other ship and non-ship models). Also, I have to add, that those French cutters are very attractive ships, especially given their large sail areas and shapely hulls. I'm gonna enjoy following you once you get going. All the best!
