Nuestra Senora del Pilar de Zaragoza by marktiedens - FINISHED - OcCre - scale 1:46


Recommended Posts

An amazing looking collection Mark. I usually have about 10 in the house at any given time, but my wife and I have worked out a "one in, one out" plan under which I have to give one away, before I can start a new one.

Hi - a little more progress..  All the rest of the stays & backstays are now done except for the topgallant backstays - they will be added later(very little room to get my hands in to do some of the yard rigging if I do them now).   Also added the railings on the tops - almost forgot about them.   Just about time to fasten the sails to the yards - this will be an adventure since I haven`t done sails for about 20 years:o.  Thanks everyone for looking in!

Moving along,all the sails are now attached to the yards:).  All the sails were pre-made,although without bolt ropes. I decided not to add them since the cloth they used is grossly out of scale & I didn`t want to spend hours & hours sewing ropes to crappy sails.  The foresail is shown below as an example.  Also, the studding sail booms were put in place along with all the blocks for the sail lines.  I formed curves in the sails & coated them with spray starch - will see how they look after being rigged.   I had thought about making new sails, but 1 - I don`t have a sewing machine & 2 - I don`t know how to sew if I had one!

Good luck with the sails Mark!

 

For the future, I know there are some youtube videos on making sails from silk span, with Tom Lauria, if you have no interest in learning how to sew :)

 

Luckily for me my wife is handy with the sewing machine and is a good teacher!!

Thanks ,zappto:D.   As I plod along with the rigging,I noticed the kit supplied light colored thread for the running rigging is only supplied in one size:(,so I will need to dig into my stash once again for some larger line for the larger sails. The kit line is only .015" & is a shiny silver color:huh:.

Hello again fellow modelers - time for a little update.  3 sails are now on & rigged:D.  I ended up using some fine brass wire inserted into the side seams to help shape the sails.  Rope coils are being added as I go also.  The boomkins were also added to the bow knightheads with their support ropes.  Another issue is the flags - although very nicely printed,they are printed on some kind of heavy cloth with an adhesive on the back . They are meant to cut out & folded together,but the adhesive was no longer sticky. So I glued them with some fabric adhesive which made them stiff as a board!  I couldn`t get them shaped at all like I wanted,so they will be flying straight out:).

Hi everyone.  Haven`t posted for a while due to being tied up with house stuff.  I have,however,got the topgallant yards & sails rigged along with attaching the topmast yards. Not perfect,but I think it passes the galloping horse test:D.  Thanks for looking in!

Hi everyone.  Progress has been slow,but I have got the fore & main sails rigged(except for the tacks).  The mizzen topsail is done also. Now I need to make a bunch of rope coils to hang on the belaying points before adding the lateen yard due to space to get my hands in getting limited :wacko:. Thanks for looking in:).

Hello friends!  Haven`t posted in a while - did some remodeling,cleaned out & got my mother`s house sold, then a few unfortunate things happened(Murphy`s Law has been following me around)......    I have got a couple of things done - made a bunch of rope coils,& got the fore topmast & topgallant yard braces done. Those braces were shown on the belaying plan to  belay BEHIND the main lower sail but that is not possible with the mainsail in place,so I belayed them to the railing at the rear of the forecastle deck.  Also got the fore topgallant backstays done. I hope to get back to work on this more regularly very soon.  As always,thanks for looking in:).
