It is a rare day that I see photos of a model so well done. The sails are as close to perfect as I have ever seen!!
I am curious to know what material was used to make those sails, I would like to try to make sails that would even "Look Close" to those.
That's one of the reasons I model the sails furled....the other reason is that most of my vessels are in harbor and moored. ( and they are in 1:87 scale ).
That ship, a "Norwegian schooner brig", here in the U.S., would be called a "Brigantine".
"Leon", was featured in Harold A. Underhill's " Plank-On-Frame Models and Scale Masting & Rigging" Volume 1.
I knew I had seen that ship somewhere before.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
