I have created a step sail, wich I intend to use when converting the
trumpeter gato (1/144) to a GUPPY boat. icefish or hawkbill,
to be exact, which means GUPPY IB. I'm no rivet counter
I created this sail as a computer model which is then "3D printed"
in plastic.
I have still to try what this Sail model looks like in real live,
and I have to add more detail to the computer model,
but the beginning is there.

I intend to offer these when it comes out a success,
the price will be about 40 dollars (INcluding shipping worldwide)
If and when I do, it will be in the new products section.
due to the cost of the material
the price is too high for a 1/72 version of it (revell gato..) I guess
when the size goes up with a factor two,
the volume goes with a factor 8 (LxBxH). and the printer
charges per volume.
But if anybody wants one in that size, give a shout.
all I need to do is size the computer model to the scale desired.
