A very beautiful build model Jan, congratulations, I think it is very different building these models as the ones I build so far !! But I will try to build Tomek's VOC Duyfken in scale 1:72 in the near future !!

The sails look great, isn't it a bit difficult to mount them now? I guess the thread is glued.

frigate 264: no, it isn´t. I´m just doing small punctures with needle for stitch. I´m still doing it by this way. Anna Maria is my 10 th ship

Hello Jan,
That is an interesting and effective technique to shape the sails.
Great work always.

Michael Mash: I know, there´s a lot of ways to make the sape of sails, but it is the most easy, quickest and effective for me.

Rdk: Here is the bottom row of sails

I still prefer the ship with sails, not only with rigging. There´s some kind of magic.
It looks like I´m almost at the end, but I still have a lot of work with another parts of ship ( rudder, anchors, blocks.... )

Hello Jan,
Its always a good day when you show us your ships.
I agree, the sails are magic.
I have been watching your work for 10 years, and your skills have never wavered.
