Swordfish sails

These sails were beyond my skill level and it shows.

How do these guys do it?

I tried dry-brushing, painting all over black and filling in the white with a fine brush, leaving it white and working the black in among it.

Nothing worked for me!

As well as them being messy, they are all black/white where to photos in the rules and magazines show various colours for the different components.

There should be metal in there and green

This I noticed when they were almost finished and I'm NOT doing them again.

Only the one sail is completely finished. The ropes are painted and the mast attached. I again found that that gap filling super glue most useful. More so than liquid green stuff. Thanks John.
