Bob,
Really love the Marco. Is she going to be under sail when you've finished? If so, do you carve the sails or use pieces of fabric? Also, what do you make the lines out of for the different pieces of rigging?

Sorry for so many questions but your ships really intrigue me.

Thanks
Garon

Happy to answer your questions Garon...ask away. The ship will have sails furled to the bunt. They will be made of a cotton material and the rigging will also be cotton for the most part, though some wire may be used here and there. "Furled to the bunt" will show the sails as they would have been pulled up to each yardarm after just entering harbour for a short stay. They can be easily released when the ship was ready to go back to sea again.

That way, they will give the effect of the sails, without hiding much of the detail on deck as "set" sails often do.

Bob
