Rather than dowel, have a look in the gardening section of Wilkinson's (plant stakes) and for your sail, a suitable textured wallpaper 'sample' covered in watered down PVA will cost you nothing. Hope that helps.Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-22618314436214764452016-07-20T16:39:30.704+01:002016-07-20T16:39:30.704+01:00Yes I think so Bryan.

I also used filler on the base to protect the polystyrene and it gave the model a bit of weight too, but it did require quite a bit of sanding too.<br />I'm just a bit puzzled by your laddders leading to the edge of the ship - look strange. You have to continue with this project it has so much promise.
