Rob, I use 1mm with the masts scaled at about 70%. They are 1:700. I have used 1st rate sails scaled differently in Z and Y to make the sizes fit for 3rd rates and Sails of Glory. I also mirrored the spanker and jibs to be the same way as Sails of Glory.

It’s resin and it’s better to cut it before you cure it. I guess it could crack if you cut it after. This is also “tough”, so I’m not sure how tough it is. When cutting off the supports I found it to be tougher.

I agree about the angle and tried to resize it an an angle but the model keeps it’s own coordinate system but tilted.

I’ve been thinking about us suggesting some improvements to Simon and perhaps he could sell an improved version.
