    Thanks for the info Marsalv, much beautiful sails. In the past I did use CA for the rigging. But now I only use PVA glue and this works well. In my last model I made three folds at the edges with some fight. Next I will try the two folds.
  2. Ilhan Gokcay
    Perfekt. This is a very fine fabric. Are there two or three folds at the edges. If two, how do you make it that the edges don't get fuzzy. And the belts, are there any folds or are they only one layer ?
  3. Ilhan Gokcay
    Fantastic. How did you do the hammock cranes, soldering, gluing, cutting from sheet, tube ??? Ilhan

    Tried to write something. But I'm speechless.

    Hey Victor, Here is an old tutorial for Delftship. It's for old versions but you can find some important tips. For up to date info you refer to the Delftship site. But as far as I know there is no tutorial any more for the newer versions. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/csib9v2n3aspwf5/AAB3YhlclxuvSCZvHPWVzYxla?dl=0

    I wonder how the hinges are fixed in this case, parallel to the sides or vertical to the top side ?

    Uploaded photos of the finished model to the gallery. Some of them are here.

    Thank you very much Edwin, Dave. Dave, my Mayflower is at scale 1/60 but I think(now) 1/50 would be ideal for this ship.

    Hey Per, thank you very much. That's perfect. I do have only some drawings and trying to find out what it looks like. Up to now I found out that it exactly matches to the steam winch on Medea.

    Dear friends, I'm looking for some information about the steam anchor windlass on the attached picture. It is supposed to be on the deck of steam yacht Medea(1904) Especially a view from the other(front) side would be very helpful. Thanks in advance Ilhan

    Hi B.E. its ok. Your questions are right but I've no answer. By the time I've found the text about the leech lines and bunt lines. It was from "Mondfeld" and I am not able to comment on the reliability of this information. There are also no traces of foot ropes for that period. Maybe sails are not furled tight to the yard as we think of it but hold together somehow and the yard was lowered to the deck. For my model of Mayflower I've strictly followed R.C.Anderson. But for the period of Matthew there are lots of questions. Cheers Ilhan

    There are two replicas. One of them based on drawings of Colin Mudie (See the article on NRJ). This is the Bristol replica. My drawings are based unfortunately on the other replica built at Bonavista.

    Thank you very much my friends. Hi B.E. thanks for the tip. You are right but indeed there are too many dubious points with this ship. Even the belaying pins were most likely not in use at that period. . I've omitted some of them and also reduced the numbers but some of them remained. As source I've also an article from NRJ and Pastor's AOS "The ships of Christopher Columbus". But I must confess that I've not tried my best. (I don't remember exactly, I've read somewhere that leech lines do exist before the buntlines. But I should check this) P.S. for the moderator. I've attached some pages from a journal and a book. If there is a problem with the copyright I can delete them.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
