Exactly what I use too Rob. Watered down PVA with a dollop of Country Twill and a drop of Antique White mixed in. These I shaped over a set of plastic sails for a 1/450 scale plastic Victory model...

Sorry guys, I haven't checked in for several days. Thank you for the nice comments on my Purisima, and for the reputation points Rob and Julian.

The agravating thing to me is how you and...

Santisima is another masterpiece Julian!

Yes Julian, it looks just right to me!

Nice job on the masts Julian. I especially like the "V" shaped dolphin spike!

I agree the Russian ships are interesting. I have all of the Langton 1/1200 Russian hulls and the three that Henry designed, but I haven't built a single one of them yet.

Haha, I can't think of any better way to puctuate a long trek than eating and getting a massage! Except maybe a good single malt?

Oh and thank you for the kind comment on the Holsteen. I do love...

Wow Jonas, 20 times? No wonder the medal is so big! Maybe they are trying to slow you down with the weight? Pretty impressive my friend!

I am modeling it "at quarters" with just top sails and stay sails, towing boats. Like I did Henry's Holsteen.

I ended up going with furled sails, but I can use these on another 1st rate.
