not sure rob , I think I tied a knot pulled it through the back and put a dab of white glue on with a toothpick , I saw a gent do both sides by tying a knot , pulling it through and putting a knot on the reverse side , too much for me . with your expertise I'm sure you'll be right

Fantastic...not to side track your log..but how did you attach the reef points to the reef bands.....just thread them through with a needle and cut off?

Great job Steve....
What happened to your Soleil Royal build log...? It went *Poof*!
I wanted to check out your sails. Again.
can't see me using these plastic sail's again , gee they are hard work .

it's just about finished , prof j tilley , said these ships are abut the same scale , couldn't help putting drake next to nelson , the size difference is incredible
was able to finally get some more rigging done , 2 sails down 4 more to go
What I have decided to do on my Great Republic build is set full sails on her...but I will be using paper sails with leach banding and bunt line pannels/bands. They will be fully rigged to include reef points.
I prefer paper because I can cut them to the shape I want...bend and form them. I have used formers and even steamed them...allowing the water to make them pliable then as they dry the stay formed.
that's a beautiful model rob , a liitle bit bigger than my beastie , I think I can see what you mean though .
Yep...it will take some finess.....
But do what makes you feel comfortable......IMV sails can be done well or not. I tend to use paper or at a minimum furl them. Here is an example I did on a version I did of the Revell Cutty Sark about 25 years ago. You can see the modified details I added...I would do things differently now-a-days." target="">" target="">" target="">
I'll give it a try gmorrison , will post result's .
rwiederrich Indeed...if applied too heavely. Any treatment applied via aerosal will contain solvents. An exercise in moderation is welcome. Still.. sail detail would make the project *POP*. IMV. Rob

If you are familiar with older aircraft models, they had what are referred to as raised panel lines, as opposed to recessed panel lines. A nice way to highlight them a little was to carefully run a sharp pencil along one side. Hence my own experience with thick coats of dulkote making it run.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
not sure how far to go with this rob , I've put a light coat of a yellow wash over it , as cotton would yellow I think with age , with the pencil ,I take it you mean a soft one , here we have h - hard , b -soft .you would be using the pencil to give definition to the creases , does that sound right .
Do a test with whatever dull coat you like on #2 pencil. Sometimes it makes it run.
Well..my view is...if you apply generous amounts of weathering to the hull to get that old time warn wood look...you need to apply the same reasoning to the sails...be it they need slightly less for a qaulity effect. May I suggest you experiment with drawing canvas pannels and edging the sails in light brown pencil...even plain #2 pencils work wonders for giving the illusion of sail detail...without appearing gaudy and over done. Once finished, a thin coat of dull coat or similar sealant will do. You can even go so far as color in some royal crests or etchings(whatever was appropriate). Experiment!
Nice work.
spot-on gmorrisn !
thank's rob , I not real sure how much to weather the sail's , I have already given them a very light spray with tamiya buff , how weathered were they ?? .
Take some of your hull weathering to the sails.....
You've done very well...great attention to detail.

Flag-pole, methinks.
thank's steve , can't wait to see you doing her ,
started the rigging , wasn't going to do anything other than glue the sail on , but sigh ! , couldn't help myself . really don't know how these plastic sail's will turn out rigged but here goes .
Steve,
You are really doing great job on her. I have the original release Revell version in the stash and it is a really nice model. Looking forward to seeing more!
Steve
Steve, there is nothing slow about your learning curve, you are going like a rocket. Your work is really beautiful. I really mean that as your work is impressive.
Ships & model RR have been my favorites forever. Everything else has been a fun fill in.
