I did And you did them so well Could you send me 60 ;D I ain't looking forwards to doing the sails \ They will prbably be a bit more hefty rather than to scale Which is a shame but as intricate as they are I don't think they will have the streanght to survive + I don't want them to be too flimsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 How big is your header then in scale terms as mine is 12 foot so with 5 sails that would mean 72 double tines \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 14 ft from memory,making 6 reels 3 sections on each, best spacing was 9 per single bar, 27 per reel or 162 total to be fitted, the mf was not to far of that ,was only 5 reel bars from memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
