Hello, RussF
× Leef point
○ It's “Reef points”.
Leef point is incorrect.
“Reef points” is correct.
When I ran “リーフポイント” through translation software in Japanese, it came out as “Leef point”.
I'd been using it as is.
My apologies.
Thank you for pointing it out.
I've learned something new.
So all along, it has been the AI translators that have been perpetuating the stereotype that the Japanese pronounce "R"s like "L"s.
Hey, RussF
Yes, I can get the same thing here! Thank you!Hello, Namabiiru
Since all the pulleys are handmade, some might be a bit uneven.
The rope... I found and bought the thread at the thread section in the craft supplies aisle at Home Center.
You should be able to find it at a craft store.
I'll post a photo.
By the way, COL12 is the thread color number.

The Chinese have difficulty speaking out the R. There is a huge difference in language
Good morning. Lovely progress. A very unique model and you are owning this. Cheers GrantView attachment 549019
The main sail was finished by applying clear lacquer spray to set the decals, spraying clear lacquer spray again to protect the decals, and finally applying clear flat lacquer spray.
I observed it for about a month, and the decals showed no cracks or peeling.
Even when rolled up, the decals didn't peel off, so it seems fine.
Therefore, to make the lower edges of the main sail appear as if they're catching the wind, I added a curl to them.
・Focus on Reef points:
The Reef points on the main sail are located on the illustration of the double-headed eagle.
Black areas use black thread, red areas use red thread, and whitish areas use white thread.
Reef points are not applied to the eagle's face.
It's not ideal for Reef points to stand out prominently on the face area.

To make the lower edge of the foresail appear as if both ends are catching the wind, I rolled it to set the crease.

I installed the main sail.

The enlarged image above is intended to recreate Jeers.
The image below shows the enlarged left and right Jeers sections.

Finally, I've become a Jeers, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself.
That's all for today.
