    A superb bit of work again Julián, but once more it raises a question.
    If you have pre painted the masts, how do you get the sails to adhere strongly?

    Rob.
    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.

    As you can see in the image that I attached, the brass sails have a little lashes to hug the mast.

    These sails are much lighter than those of white metal. It is advisable to do the union of metal with metal and not metal with paint or paint with paint.

    Thanks Julián. I have only ever used the pewter/ lead sails. These look far superior.
    It just goes to show that one is never too old to learn a new trick or two.
