Looking good Dobbs. Those are styrene sails, right? How are you shaping them? Hot water? Heat gun?

You're exactly right, Vol. 0.020" Styrene sheets from Evergreen.Originally Posted by Volunteer
I originally tried 0.010" but it didn't shape as well.
I shape them by wrapping them over a small dowel or handle of a modeling paint brush. Finger warmth seems to be enough.

That is interesting Dobbs. I have been using a bit thicker sheet and forming over dowel of various sizes but heating with Mrs Bligh's crafting hot air gun.
I will try that thinner styrene next time I send an order to Evergreen.

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.
