Making sails to scale


Recommended Posts

There has been some recent discussion on the out of stock booklet on sail making by David Antscherl.  For anyone wanting properly scaled good looking sails that will enhance the model rather than degrading it like most kit supplied sails do, this booklet is now available again from SeaWatch books for $5 on line.

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

Please note, if you have the Revised & Expanded Version of Volume IV of David's Fully Framed Model, you shouldn't need this booklet as it is included in that version.
