bigcreekdad Posted April 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 10, 2016 Is there any easy way to do this, without investing in a loom? mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnbill Posted April 10, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 10, 2016 Since my Connie was 1:93, these were fairly small. So I used my serving machine to wrap black line over stay until I had the correct shape. Then I soaked this in thin CA and let it dry. This gave the the correct shape.

md1400cs Posted April 10, 2016 Share #3 Posted April 10, 2016 Yes there is. Embarrased that I can't link you to the log here at MSW, but I added these pics to my how-to folders. If anyone can lead bigcreekdad to the log that would be great. I also attempted to do a mouse in my build log, before seeing the photos below. I will try this new better method for the mainmast. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/329-wasa-by-md1400cs-corel-175/page-59 scroll to bottom of page hope that these help RichardG, cristikc, allanyed and 13 others 16 Quote Michael Current build : Sovereign of the Seas 1/78 Sergal Under the table: Golden Hind - C Mamoli Oseberg - Billings 720 - Drakkar - Amati Completed: Santa Maria-Mantua -- Vasa-Corel - Santisima Trinidad cross section OcCre 1/90th Gallery : Santa Maria - Vasa - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted April 12, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 12, 2016 MD1400CS That method looks very much like one posted years ago, I think at the old Dolphin Street site. It was for the Victory by a very talented Japanese modeler who's name and information escaped me a long time ago. In any case the method looks to be the same, and if not, it looks to work extremely well. Well done!

Captain Poison Posted April 12, 2016 Share #5 Posted April 12, 2016 I don't remember very well, but I think that method was made by Cabrapente.. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Completed.... Charles W.

md1400cs Posted April 12, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Capt. Poison. You win !! YES it was he. His builds are so "over the top" I went back through some of his amazing logs. That name just sorta struck me.

Captain Poison Posted April 13, 2016 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2016 The version of Cabrapente seems to me more realistic and enhances the work in general... also I would like to see the finished version of Blue Ensign. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Completed....
