Suggestion, maybe next time you have to scrap an Ares ship use its parts as masters to cast molds in RTV rubber? Then you can just cast more resin mast/jib/etc components as needed...Originally Posted by Dobbs
I decided that I wanted another brig but had no more Hebe spankers to sacrifice. I'm trying my hand at building one from sheet styrene and rod. It won't have the reefing lines of my other brigs, but maybe it won't stand out?

I've thought of that, DB. I even have the mold making materials, but I haven't tried it. I'm not sure how one would make a mold of something so flat as a sail, but I guess Ares knows!
The brig's new fore and aft mainsail.
