Geam Posted March 19, 2022 Share #123 Posted March 19, 2022 It's not really important, but if you want to make the telltales function during sailing, you may have to make them of thin, lightweight wool yarn. Off-White (ECRU) coloured "Dale Baby Ull" or similar. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geam Posted March 19, 2022 Share #124 Posted March 19, 2022 Hello again NP.....I'm impressed by your 'golden varnish' deck planking. I am planning to use Owatrol D1 oil then D2 varnish, but I don't think will add much colour. May I ask what your 'Golden varnish' is?

Believe I will sail it to get some cool pictures and a video and then it will be put in a glassed box built into the wall😂 Geam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Plastic Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share #128 Posted March 24, 2022 Started to paint the main sail tonight. Made some masks from contact paper with the Cricut, put a generous layer of matte varnish to seal the edges and then a thin layer of Tamiya red. yvesvidal, JpR62 and ccoyle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geam Posted March 31, 2022 Share #134 Posted March 31, 2022 That explains why there are so many of them....and also that they hang downwards even when sailing! Well done, never thought of that🙂. Professional rescue-sailors in the old days would not need a piece of wool to help them set the sails properly! Nice RS1 marking on the mainsail. I have been thinking about how to make that. good to see your example. Looks like you used the top of the glass to make the circle! I'll have to get one of those glasses before I do the sails🤪 See that you have the same Biltema compressor as I have. Your RS1 looks really superb now👌👍 George Norwegian Plastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Plastic Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share #140 Posted August 23, 2023 A little finishing left before I can put some paint on and install downlights and acrylic glass.
