Re: Modeling Solar Sail Ships

Metallized mylar (such as is used for balloons) would, in my opinion,
look
best, and it resists tearing pretty well.  Thickness would be something
like .001", and if your local plastics distributor doesn't have it as
metallized mylar, try asking for shim stock of .0005 to .002 thick.  I
don't know of an adhesive that works particularly well on mylar, though.

You might use 1/16" dia clear acrylic rod for the framework.
