    Hi, The sails for historic ships sails were made of fabrics from natural fibers initially with hemp and linen ( flax ) until it was supplanted by cotton during the 19th century. At first cotton was used as a matter of necessity in the United States as it was indigenous and the supply of flax was periodically interrupted by wars such as the War of 1812. Often sails was impregnated as a protection against rot and there were white but red brown. The sails were hand sewn from fabric which was hand-woven on a loom. Foto 1 The sail of Vasa.

    Naval cannons and how it was made.Part 2. The water-powered ironworks at Finspong in Sweden established in the late 16th century by the Walloon Wellam de Wijk by permission of Gustav II Adolf King of Sweden. Factory was developed up to 19th century and continued to make guns until the last was test-fired in 1912. The model of early foundry is exhibited in Stockholm Army Museum. Foto 1-8 Early ironworks at Finspong.Central part is iron melting furnace with water wheel powered blowers. Mold for cannon casting is situated below ground level for easy fill with melted iron. In adjacent building is installed metal working machine powered by water wheel. Foto 9 Ironworks at Finspong in 19th century.

    Hi, For models in 1: 100 scale I use sails made by thermo transfer. I print a sails pattern on thermal transfer paper and iron on the fabric. The edges are folded and glued fabric glue also the leech ropes are glued with sails with glue. Tadeusz

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

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.
