Plenty of opportunity to learn about turning plastic into wood, and how to make rigging look convincing. Let's see how this goes...

You're very welcome, Robert. The only shiny parts will be the two cannons 😉 I may have to ask Villiers de Vos' advice on staining the white sail...

I seem to remember using black coffee to stain cloth sails many years ago.

I've heard about strong black tea wash... I never have tried this technique nevertheless...

Here is the Hornby Golden Hinde. After 45 years, it needs a bit of a clean and a few repairs.

Thanks for the advice, John and Robert. I'm sensing I might try a few experiments with an old cotton handkerchief. John, you stiffened the sails too? I really liked your neat rigging - I'll try to reach your standard of workmanship 🙂👍

I can't take credit for much of that. My Dad did 95% of it. As for stiffening the sails, the material was fairly stiff to begin with. I think the caffeine did the rest.

I'm sure your Dad would be pleased you have taken such good care of your shared efforts, John. 🙂👍
