I have recently purchased the Bulling Boats 1:50 scale HMS Bounty and would like a get the full sail set as sewing is definitely my strong point. Can anyone assist in where I can acquire this set of sails?
 
You MIGHT change your mind about not making sails if you watch the video below. I may be dead wrong but just in case you have not made your decision yet check out this alternative route..

Several of my builds came with sail material. For the ones that didn't I "borrowed" some cotton fabric from my wife's collection of fabric (she is a quilter). She didn't have the colour I wanted so I dyed the fabric by soaking it in tea. If you want a darker stain coffee might be better. After soaking the amount of time required to obtain the amount of stain I wanted I hung the fabric up to dye being careful not to have folds that might concentrate the stain in ceases. It worked for me.
