kostas_gr Posted November 5, 2021 Author #41 Posted November 5, 2021 Corel's kit comes out without sails. I thought that sails will look nice on this build. I believe that rigging makes model to look more pretty. I decided to use silk fibre. First step was to dye the fibre to get darker, I decided to use coffee or tes. I made several tests with both and finally decided to leave it around 15 minutes into coffee solute. (on the left side is the original fibre) For the fist sail I had to remaike it 4 times due to several issues I will describe first try ....while cutting the sail, the edge was unravelling so i have decided to use diluted white glue to make it more stable until I sew on the edges. Second try.... (with white glue on the edges) after sewing the side edges the outcome was miserable, it was stiff and almost impossilbe to handle I couldnt manage give a right shape Third try... I found a thin sewing tape that I have placed on the edges so with normal ironing the tape was melting with a very thin film and kept the edges folded. I was Suprised with the outcome and made sewing very easy. But... unfortunally the length shortened a lot and the sail looked very small on yard. forth time was a charm, the outcome was overall so I decided to use them. To be honest I didnt have much time or mood to test other fibres, I had a deadline due to the anual IPMS competition I wanted to participate.

Really thinking about getting this one myself now. thank you very much. I really think you should give it a try. If you plan ahead all steps (including the modifications) its not that hard. In my case it was last minute decision to use sails becouse I wanted more details (rigging) on the deck.
