If you send me your e-mail address -via pm or e-mail ( jbyachtservices (-------------) @gmail.com)
remove bracketed hyphen lines)
I can send you my paper blank file
you can download it as jpg , scale it 1/350 ( x2 from my 1/700 Breatagne to your Savannah scale ( 1;380?)
then design your sails, print off at highest quality on a inkjet printer
( laser makes it grainy) and make sure you varnish the paper with spray enamel
and hey presto you have mouldable ssails that are impervious to moisture!

Hi there Meister Baumann and all.
As usual, absolutely stunning work. One of the most surprising constructions I have ever seen. The hull and the sea are as perfect as 1/700 scale allows to build, and even if necessarily reduced to the bare minimum the rigging is kind of a miracle to me. I cannot imagine how it could be made better. Even studying the pictures is already a headache to me.
Congrats Meister Baumann, and let´s see what comes next.
Best regards to all from the stormy Atlantic,
Willie.

It is a prolific model.
The question is, and never mind mere mortals, how are YOU going to top this one Jim??

This is very impressive work. The rigging and sails look incredible. The water scape is the most convincing I have seen. The last shot really captures the intricate work of this model!

Simply amazing work Jim! The rigging and sail just look spot-on! The amount of detail in this scale is incredible, but even more importantly you succeeded in capturing the feel. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
Thanks for sharing the entire build process. It was an absolute joy and inspiration to follow!

Very nice job and model.  "The 1,200 hp machine included an ‘evaporating apparatus’ with eight boiler bodies, each with five furnaces, and was capable of making around 13.5 knots (25 km/h) with good operators. It consumed 150 tonnes of coal every 24 hours. The double-winged propeller could be wound up so as not to interfere with sailing. The engine consisted of two cylinders." Thank you for keeping us on our toes with this new season in "Bretagne." The end, rare photo, Brest, France:  Very nice job and model. :cool_1:
