So just send your idea's and we'll make it a joint effort. The upper half of the cupboard as two features, one shelf for pots and one to hold plates, I got the idea of some pictures I found of galleys.

Remcohe Posted February 25, 2014 Author #486 Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks for the very kind comments. I started working on the sail room, a lot of preparation went into making a jig to cut the mortises for the loovers. After that was set up it was pretty straightforward (I thought, but making the different stanchions with the mortices on the right sides took more than one try....) The sail room will be made off the model, it's a big 3D jigsaw and I foresee trouble ahead to get the last side in place. But we'll see. I also got some fabric to make a couple of sails. I'm wondering if their shouldn't be racks of some sort to store the sails.

druxey Posted February 25, 2014 #487 Posted February 25, 2014 There probably were racks: air circulation was important to prevent mould or rot. At very least, there would be battens on the deck. If you are showing stored sails, don't forget their wooden identification tags!

Simple but effective.

dvm27 Posted February 27, 2014 #492 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Great jig, Remco. Sort of a variant of the gratings jig. It's hard to tell from the photo but I assume the blade width is the same width as the indexing strip?

Remcohe Posted March 2, 2014 Author #495 Posted March 2, 2014 Greg, correct the blade has the same width as the index in strip. I made a second one for paralel cuts to make the beds for the sails. At first I tried to glue the battens with temporary spacers, but it wasn't as evenly spaced as I had hoped. cutting mortices for the battens made assembly a lot easier. For the sails I first got a piece of silk used for model airplanes. Although the fabric is great I could not fold them neatly even with an iron I could not get something I liked. Pretty expensive experiment actually, now I have a very big silk handkerchief with a hole in it...... So thick tinted paper was used. The writing on the tally's are home made decals. I'm not sure if I will build the other walls of the sail room or leave it open like this, I actually like it the way it is now having a better view to the storage racks.

Elia Posted March 2, 2014 #497 Posted March 2, 2014 Remco, Superb as always! I like the visual texture of the sails. Is that an effect of the paper used? And was the paper a silkspan-like product? Cheers, Elia Quote Elia Rose Valley, PA Arethusa: 1907 Gloucester Knockabout
BANYAN Posted March 2, 2014 #498 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Great work and superb detaining Remco; these details take the build from great to extraordinary! Always a pleasure to see what new details you have added. Just one very minor query - is the tag just a little large for the sail? cheers Pat Edited March 2, 2014 by BANYAN Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
