The gratings made on technologies of my Polish colleague of Mirek Rybus. On a plate from wood of a pear grooves where levels from a pear then are pasted are milled.

Hello Garward,

Its a shame the build log of this ship was lost, she's beautiful.

The main comment and most outstanding part of this ship is the Sails. When I first became intrigued by model ship building I thought, why would anyone build a tall ship and leave the sails off. As I've grown in knowledge I find that sometime the sails are left off or are furled so that the rigging can be better show. I also believe that many do not hang sail because so often they look dead.

 

I am amaxed at the LIFE in your sails. They look as though your Corsair is in wind. You have done a beautiful job in forming the sails so that they look very Realistic. The billows and ripples in the foresails is especially pleasing to the eyes.

You mentioned glue and a hair dryer for sail shaping. did you also stain/colour them with something also? They have a perfect tone to there color as if they have seen real sea time.

 

Any information additional information on how you achieved the beautiful shaped sails would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you Captain Garward, Sir, for showing us another inspiring build.

Hi, Keith! Many thanks for the comment! New sails sewed percale from fabric and are painted in tea solution. After installation in a place each sail, since bottom, became impregnated with very diluted PVA glue and dried (with heating) the hair dryer for camber giving on them. The direction and force of a stream of heated air of the hair dryer formed camber of a sail.

Wow that looks really great

Many thanks for an assessment!

Thanks for the great picture thread. Gives me some fresh new ideas on sanding drums and how to hold the sandpaper in.

Thanks Again

I am glad that this material was for you useful !

Garward, this is great stuff as usual. Is the drill you are using for the treenails one of the Chinese ones which will take 0.7mm drill bits? Or can it take a smaller bit.

 

Also, I don't see any wires coming out of the drill. Have you managed to place a battery inside the casing? Or are there wires running into it?

Thanks for the comment! It is technology of the known modeller Alexey Baranov for imitation of nails and seams between boards of a deck flooring . Drills can be various if only well drilled. The drill works from an external source, simply the photo is taken so that wires it isn't visible.

Dear colleagues, many thanks for congratulations, I am sincerely touched by your attention !

Garwood-

 

Congratulations on reaching 1,000 posts.  The first regular member to achieve that milestone and our first Captain.

 

WELL DONE!

Hi, Augie, many thanks for a congratulation! First Captain obliges, I will try to correspond to it   .

Fastening the sandpaper is held on with double sided film tape fastening - too a good way.

Hi, Doris! Excellent work, is pleasant to me! 

Hi, Rebecca! Construction of steamships becomes more and more popular!
