Littlebob Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share #63 Posted July 10, 2014 Time for an update. I am starting to run out of details to do before I remake the sails, I guess I am just putting off what I know I will have to do. The first pic shows the installed anchors. The second pic shows the installed cap on the transom and the PE Virginia letters. The last pic shows the stock latina Throats on the right and my scratch built ones on the left with the added steel bands. All comments welcome.

dgbot Posted July 10, 2014 Share #66 Posted July 10, 2014 Your Virginia is looking great. As for the sails, the stuff in the kit is just to coarse and thick at this scale. If you have any bed linen or silk span these will work just fine.

Littlebob Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share #67 Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks David, I agree the latina sail cloth does have to much texture. I have some better cloth pulled out of an older Constructo kit, the cloth is much smoother but about the same thickness and appears to be of better quality.

Littlebob Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share #69 Posted July 10, 2014 Time for a small update. I was able to get my first sail done, the Latina sail is on the right and my new sail on the left, I think mine looks a little better. The sail I made has seams about half the size and mine are straight, the corners on mine are as sharp as I could make them, as I didn't like the rounded corners on the Latina sails. I still have to add the bolt ropes, so far not to bad. All comments welcome. coxswain, pete48 and Aussie048 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlebob Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share #71 Posted July 11, 2014 The anchors are super glued down but they will need something to hold them to the deck to look more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlebob Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share #73 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the picture, that will help. The anchors are already glued but I think I will add a few pieces of scrap wood along the sides of the anchors to hold the steel bands, that should look a lot better. thanks for your help.
