HIPEXEC Posted October 13, 2014 #1742 Posted October 13, 2014 Looking good! On my first model, my Admiral sewed reefing ties and they didn't hang naturally, so I used a paintbrush and water to "Paint" them to lay against the sail and then used my Admiral's hairspray to hold them.

Sjors Posted October 13, 2014 Author #1743 Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks Mario and Rich, @ Mario, She has the same length as the Agamemnon..... I need a bigger house ! @ Rich, I make the reef lines myself. I put them true the beeswax. My Admiral don't use hair spray ( nether do I ) But a few more to do before that's finished.......( about 11 ) Sjors augie 1 Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

Ulises Victoria Posted October 23, 2014 #1766 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Sjors: Yes, I want to. Kit comes with no sails, (my avatar is the photo in the box) thus no sail rigging or instructions. I think I asked somewhere earlier about some books on French ships of the line rigging. I have several about English tho, but I am not sure what problems or issues I'd encounter if I put English rigging on a French ship!!!
