Yards

The yards from the kit have not been used. After they were cleaned up, they are much too flexible.
New yards have been made from toothpicks and bamboo plant sticks, using the Billings drawing as a guide.

The next posts is about making the paper sails and attaching them to the yards.

Just gone through this from start to finish, most excellent and thank you for taking the time to take all the pictures.

Very impressive.

Excellent job and a great tutorial for the plastic kits improvement! The most important thing is that the approach is available to an average modeller: no advanced software, 3D-printers, heavy machinery, expensive materials - just a small number of easy tools and a good pair of hands!
Amazing!

I built this model about thirty years ago, and thought I'd gone above and beyond, but Holy Toledo, this is magnificent.

That subtle blue color is fantastic.
