I finished up another article on the blog on how to scratch build sails for gaming ships. This uses a thin Polystyrene sheet to make sales that will be more durable than paper but less of a hassle than using real sail cloth. This is a tutorial for those interested, I'm not saying that Paper or cloth is bad, just how to re-create the same method I do. link Wingnut |

Thanks for this tutorial! I may have to try this method on some of my cardboard ships. I think our local hobby store carries polystyrene sheets. That micro hole puncher looks like a good investment. I wonder if my little awl will do the trick of getting through the plastic. |
