To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, September 29, 2012, 1:04 PM Saw Cannon's cutty sark and while it looked great, I could see there was some room for embellishment. First off, it was too small. the biggest I could reasonablme make it using 8.5x11 paper was 150%, but that seems to be a nice size, From stem to stern it is now some 50cm (20") long. A good shelf model size. The masts and spars were all flat and/or once sided, so they needed to be upgraded. The masts are simply rolled computer paper, and the spars are a combination of bamboo skewers, toothpicks, and the chopsticks from the food court at Wegmans. While at the dollar store, a simple necklace made for some nice scale chain too. The other big issue on the cutty sark was the lack of rigging. Tried and true sewing thread, and #10 crochet thread completes the upgrade for now. Oh. and also turning the flag the correct direction :) http://jleslie48.com/jl/120929_cutty_sark02_bearbirdhouse/cs2264.jpg http://jleslie48.com/jl/120929_cutty_sark02_bearbirdhouse/cs2264.jpg http://jleslie48.com/jl/120929_cutty_sark02_bearbirdhouse/cs2264a.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
