How to make cloth sails for ship models (MY WAY) TUTORIAL

[@trikkke11]

Schweet ! I was contemplating duplicating my sails the same way, but I was a tad afraid the cloth wouldn't come off once the white glue had dried. You've saved me some experimenting, thanks !

[@peterayling2424]

I'm a new subscriber after watching your superb build of the Revell 'Vasa'. I built the Airfix version years ago which was before washes and airbrushes etc became popular so the entire thing was brushpainted. It didn't come out too badly but I now know that many of the colours were totally inaccurate. I've had the Revell one awaiting my attention for about a year so your video was very informative - many thanks. I have two models as work in progress to finish (the Russian protected cruiser 'Varyag' and the rare Airfix 1:48 scale TSR 2) and once they are finished I will be doing the Vasa once again with your video guidance. Thanks again for sharing your skills.

Thank you!

Hi Alex, incredible again. Watched the Victory build a few times and bravo again for that, but this is the first viewing of you making sails. I now have the same Victory kit plus the Revell Mayflower and they will have cloth sails. Thank you sir.

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you! Stay safe! 👍

[@americanpatriot2422]

I used your info for the sails on my ship. Thank you it worked out very well.

[@bgaseacra5092]

This is soo helpful thank you!! I'm also building the Vasa and really didn't want to use the plastic sails so you helped me a lot here.

[@HarryHoudiniModels]

Great video Alex... simple technique but brilliant result... look forward to seeing your sails on the Vasa

[@AlexModeling]

Just don t be too mad with me for putting the plástic ratlines on it! 😀😁😁

[@HarryHoudiniModels]

Not at all... they looked very clean and fine so should do the job nicely

[@Zone5Aviation]

Alex, what can I say. You're no longer a scale modeller. You are now an artist! Top stuff.

[@AlexModeling]

Thanks Andrew! Just having fun

[@stevemahalko1146]

great job Alex. I'm basically into Armor but I watched your vid on the Victory and am planning on giving Sailing ships a shot. Should be very interesting on doing some nice salt and sea weathering !!

[@Dunhillscalemodelling]

Wow 😮. Due to your sailingship Videos I bought me a Victory and a Black Pearl too. Great job 👍

[@AlexModeling]

Iam sorry!!😂😂😂😂 Thank you!

[@frankassis2684]

Nice job. They look much better than what would you be able to do with painted plastic.

[@czechmarque]

Coffee is also effective for Tinting the sails for gradient stains.

[@ArmourEmpire]

Clever technique Alex. Very effective mate

[@AlexModeling]

And Simple! :)

É verdade sim senhor Hugo. E já pensei fazer isso para a Santa Maria que tenho aqui da Revell! Forte abraço

Alex!! My brother, how are you? Great tutorial. Here's one for you.. What would you recommend for cleaning dirty, dusty models?

[@AlexModeling]

If its only dust i would just air brushed it! Have to carefull with novinha parts but thats what i would do. And on flat free of detail surfaces a new flat brush! Cheers brother!😁😀

Nice jobb. I was wondering about the scale of this modell you are building. I´m building HMS victori in skale 1:75 and I want to make the sails, but kant find any drawing or dimensjons for them. nice work, Do you have dimensjons for the sails you made?

[@AlexModeling]

Unfortunatly i don t. Sorry
