JEB Posted October 6, 2020 Share #32 Posted October 6, 2020 Really nice. I didn't know anything about card models, so it was interesting to see your log. Ryland Craze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelnou Posted April 15, 2021 Share #34 Posted April 15, 2021 Kondzik, I admire your work, particularly the modelspan sails of your Allege d'Arles. Can you tell me if you have used metal wire (brass ?) on the exterior outline of the sail hided in the hem ? Which diameter have you choosen for these metallic rods ? I thank you for the advices.

Which diameter have you choosen for these metallic rods ? No, I did not reinforce bolt rope with wire and in hindsight I should have. Right now, after a year since completion sails and bolt ropes soaked a bit of moisture from air and deformed a bit. I've used cotton thread, around 0,5mm in diameter, straight from the spool and did not wax it with bees wax to let pva glue grab easier to it, but it made it more prone to moisture unfortunately. I'm definitely going to try to use some wire in my current Saettia build but I haven't figured out yet if should embed it into sail or make my own bolt rope with wire core. Check out how Bruma made his sails in this log https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25323-cutty-sark-by-bruma-revell-196/page/7/#comments , you might find it inspiring to experiment a bit.
