ok I am almost done with the prototype 3 (the first one with cordage), the only thing left is a flag on the forward mast (the paint on the flagpole is drying). What I did as it was too late to implement the shrinking invisible thread method was to glue a second layer of paper on the hull with the same print so that the thread is now sandwiched in between 2 layers of glued paper. I attached a picture and I wonder what you think of the result.
The hull of prototype 4 is already dry and I will try the shrinking thread on that one. I'll also start on the cordage before attaching the sails which should make things easier hopefully.
