  4. Israel Hands
    Thats nice!

    yes I first saw that image in the Mechanismo art book. At time stamp 4:15 here. Minor warning if you go through the entire video, low level minor nudity
  6. Israel Hands
    I like them. They have a classic sci-fi book cover look to them. A bit Chris Foss, a bit Colin Hay inspired

    Sure the solar car was ugly, but it was instantly recognizable. I clocked it as soon as the preview loaded. A good set
  8. Israel Hands
    Nice, neat model (and p.s. I like the awning :) )

  11. Israel Hands
    Very nice.

    A nice little set. I like it. I'd be tempted to pick it up if I saw it in a shop.
  13. Israel Hands
    Nice. I like the use of the old hulls.
  14. Israel Hands
    <chef kiss> Very well done and nice play elements

    My suggestion for canvas?? A4 canvas printer paper And of course, you can print on themIf you want coloured, in black, any scraps of material from roller blinds if you can get it. They're trimmed to fit so there's normally some left over

    Nice I have some of those hulls still and I like the idea of the little ships that are fun builds. Reminds me of the old Lego sets like 6274-1 Caribbean Clipper or 6289 - Renegade Runner
  17. Israel Hands
    Nice. Is is just the connectors on the bottom that joins it together?
  18. Israel Hands
    Looks like a little fun build, I'd have one on my desk at work

    Well being a kid of the 80's, I had plenty of his posters and calendars on my wall. Popping into Athena poster shop most weekends

    Reminds me of the schooners of artist Rodney Matthews.

    Probably have a bash this weekend. So you want Imperial Flagship style but for new BSB sized sails?
  22. Israel Hands
    I did very little, TBH this time round, Alazon beat me to it. If possible, could you avoid stripes, just to make it a little more unique? Possibly go for colourised Imperial Flagship style, with the stitch-work showdown through. Or look though the sail library and have an emblem on the larger sail.

    Alazon, Have you matched the size of those sails to the new Pirate Bay set. I think the old BSB sails may be too small. Also, will it be possible to include a scale rule on those plans. I'm not in a position to assemble my set yet, but I can scan the sails and upload them, which is a start. Is there someone who has the set assembled, willing to print off the new tattered sails, (even if its on standard paper), and photograph them in-situ, so we have an idea on how they look? "ClassicLook" I;ll have an attempt. Thanks to Photoshop its quite easy to overlay different elements and i like the idea of the Shipwreck Island sails. Which new crossbones do you mean? The one that is white skull with black outline?? Alazon would it be possible to include a scale rule on each print, 5 cm or 10 cm to help with scaling when printing. One of these sort of things And also, can you change the black outline to a lighter gray, as a cut guide. That way, if you're not 100% spot on when cutting, the lines wont stand out

    There is already a thread on modifying the Pirate Bay set, so in order not to hijack this thread, I'm going to move my replies to the original sails posts. There you'll also find some useful resources if you ever want to make your own sails. Yes, Silent Mary sails did look to be a good starting point as inspiration. By the way Alazon, when I was rooting through my drawers looking for the old canvas that I used, I came across an old, full sized, pirate flag I had bought once. I'll have to find a place for it. I'm about to start converting an outdoors extension into a work room - might stick it in there

    OK, I have a slight problem posting more pictures until I can get my password sorted, but for now... I used two type of Canvas paper from CartridgeWorld. This was about probably over 5 years ago now Paper Type: Canvas 20 sheets Paper Weight: 220 GSM £6.99 5 years ago Not bad, but very shiny. A little bit too high gloss looking Paper Type: True Canvas 100% Cotton 5 sheets Paper Weight: 226 GSM £5.95 5 years ago Re-order: A4TCANV More expensive per sheet, and thicker then original Lego sails, however it has a nice textured Matt finish. Only downside is that you have to over saturate the colours, otherwise they appear "washed out". I don't know if you can still get these, but look for "Paper Type: True Canvas 100% Cotton" for printing. I have a few scraps left over. I might give them a test print over the weekend. I'll also see if I can design some tatty sails for the Pirate Bay set. As i said before, there are a couple of ways to make the holes in the sails. Standard hole punch. The only downside is that they are little large, around 6mm diam. The best I've found is to use "eyelet pliers" or a "belt punch". If you go to buy these tools, make sure the punch size is around 4.5mm to 5mm. Some sets have multiple sized heads. Dont get the 10mm one - way too big
