Wow, amazing work you do on the cards Rob!
To continue our previous conversation on the Sept. thread, here is a pic of the cloth I'm using and the paint I mixed with the watered down PVA.
This is the Duguay Trouin with the primary sails mounted and the first half of the standing rigging applied
And the progress on the stay sails
That is most impressive Vol, and I love the fact that you can get that slight billowing effect instead of the sails looking taught right across the whole sail. It makes it appear as if there is a real gust of wiond blowing.
Thanks also for the Rep. I am glad you like my cards. I'm gradually getting better but still not a patch on Old Guy's work.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
OMG, those sails looks amazing and indeed, the effect of the wind is appreciated in the wave
Coming along well Vol. May I now ask you about the stripes down the sails?
