mtaylor Posted December 14, 2018 Share #32 Posted December 14, 2018 I think we all know that one about magnifiers. I get dizzy and have headaches in about 5 minutes, yet they sit on the bench if I need to examine something up close.

wefalck Posted December 14, 2018 Share #33 Posted December 14, 2018 Try a set of eye-protection glasses with magnifying glasses. They usually have +3 diopters and I can wear them for hours - they also prevent nasty things from flying into your eyes ...

michael mott Posted January 11, 2019 Share #38 Posted January 11, 2019 I like the general look of the sails Javier, I am curious about the way that the strengthening patches look at the clew of them though. I would have thought that the inward corner would have been clipped a little.

Javier Baron Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share #39 Posted January 11, 2019 For this model I am following the ANCRE monography of thr Gemma tartana, from which I put a picture. It is possible that the size of the patches is a little too big to see, but I think it is due to its dark color, which contrasts a lot with that of the sails.

Javier Baron Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share #41 Posted January 17, 2019 The tartana is finished. I have followed closely the monograph of the tartana Gemma (ANCRE), of Franco Fissore, although I have allowed myself some licenses because of the small scale. One of the aspects in which I have been guided totally by the monograph is in which the model has been rigged, with the jibs to starboard in a boom especially armed for it. I hope the result will be to your liking, because I have really enjoyed doing this GrandpaPhil, Omega1234, Tigerdvr and 20 others 23 Quote www. barcosbaron.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Baron Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share #47 Posted January 18, 2019 21 hours ago, amateur said: Can you tell how you made the sails? they lookvery convincing. Jan Making of sail: I cut to bias strips of fabric of the desired width to imitate the sail cloths that make up the sails in reality. I stick the strips with textile glue, with a minimum overlap between them. I cut the sails to the size and shape needed for the model, I make the reef bands with a thin strip of fabric that I stick in its position. If the sail has patches in the corners, I hit them before the tablings. With strips of fabric of a minimum thickness I make the tablings, which are then stuck on the edges of the trimmed sail (on both sides). I stick a thread around the sail to make the bolt rope, leaving a loop in the corners to make the clue ropes. Finally, I put the reefs in the number and position that is required in the corresponding positions of the reef bands.

Then, when I pull out the temporary frames, I also remove the balsa wood from the bow and from the stern.
