A very rare view and very well done, Jesse!

Thanks Sven, it was one of my first ship build, a bit different from airliners, lol

I guess it is Heller's scale 1:150?! Very well done, clean and sharp work 👍
What do you use for the sails?

That's a stunning model Jesse! It must have taken an age to do all that rigging! Now you just need to keep the dust off it.

Beautiful work and an inspiration.

Thanks guys, I should have put more details, sorry about that, will do better on the next feed. Yes Christian it is the Heller 1/150 one. As for the sails, it was an experiment with tissue paper and once attached, they were painted with a mix of white glue and water.

I now use something that looks like silk, much stronger so more manageable.

Christian Bruer
Thx Jesse. What stuff do you use now for the sails? Is there a brand or name of it?

Cheers, Christian
