flyer Posted December 22, 2014 Author #394 Posted December 22, 2014 Now the first of the staysails, the fore topmast staysail was made. For the dimensions I used the data in Lees. The result was checked on Pegasus and in comparison to the proportions on HMS Pandora according to the book of the ‘Anatomy of the ship’ series. Both showed that the sail was too large. I corrected it according the proportions of Pandora’s sail. Then its size was reduced by about 40% (the sides were reduced by 20%) because the intention was again to show it furled. The sail was bent to the preventer stag and the necessary lines attached. Furling was quite tricky and after several tries the result seems acceptable for me, but I hope neither the bosun nor captain jack will have a closer look at that sail before it will be fully set the next time. The sail maker is putting in the last stitches. The four different sizes in the drawing are: First full size according Lees, full size according Pandora’s proportions, reduced first size, reduced smaller size – final version. The sail is being bent to the preventer stag The sail seems rather small but proved to be still quite large to be stowed... Stowed sail This is not a full harbour stow ready for an admirals inspection. The sail is supposed to be ready to be used on short notice.

Martin W Posted December 23, 2014 #395 Posted December 23, 2014 That staysail really adds a new dimension -- it's more than just a furled sail, it has the look of weight (if that makes sense). Cheers, Martin Quote Current Build: HMS FLY 1776 Previous Builds: Rattlesnake 1781 Prince de Neufchatel
aliluke Posted December 23, 2014 #396 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) That is seriously nice work on your sails. Great photos too. It inspires me to try the furled sails but a while to go before I get to exercise that decision. The sailor figures make it alive. I have a shouting bosun from Amati. I might try to paint him...

flyer Posted December 27, 2014 Author #397 Posted December 27, 2014 Hi Martin Well, sails shouldn’t be too heavy but here I understand weight in a sense of substance and not just a whitish ornament somewhere on a yard. At least that’s what I want to create. Of course if I wanted real substance I would have to mount full sails – maybe I’ll try that with my next project. Hi Alistair But be warned: The more realistic you paint him, the louder he shouts! A real bosun could be quite deafening, I read somewhere.

flyer Posted December 29, 2014 Author #400 Posted December 29, 2014 During the collection of facts about the jib sail I found that the traveller needs a hook for the sail. I amended one made of an eye pin. The sail was made in a similar way like the topmast staysail. It was bent to the jib stay and furled. Despite the by 40% reduced surface the furled sail still made quite a large packet. But the sail is quite large and I hope the proportions are correct. During the photo session I found that I forgot the sprit topsail yard lifts and installed them. Now just a few braces remain to be installed and the cleaning up of the forecastle cannot longer be postponed. By the way - during all that work on those sails I had to tighten several already installed lines and was glad that most of that installation was provisional only. The new hook on the traveller is not yet painted Jib is finished The jib is set Detail with the traveller The furled jib (and the missing sprit topsail yard lifts) The lifts are installed Blue Ensign, Barbossa, ccoyle and 8 others 11 Quote current build: The Naval Cutter Alert by flyer - Vanguard Models - scale 1:64 completed builds: HMS Bellerophon by flyer - Victory Models - scale 1:72 Yacht America by flyer - Mamoli - scale 1:66 - with some alterations Dolphyn Corel 1/50 Wasa Corel 1/75 La Gloire C.Mamoli 1/90 HM Bomb Vessel Granado JoTiKa HM Bomb Vessel Granado 1756 CC kit 1:64 Victory Models 1/64 HMS Pegasus by Flyer HMS Pickle, my interpretation

flyer Posted January 2, 2015 Author #404 Posted January 2, 2015 Hi Martin I am astonished myself how some details suddenly can make sense (and therefore have to be added subsequently - much more tediously of course than it would be if you did it right the first time – but who said ship modeling is pure fun?). (Nevertheless – it is!) Hi B.E. As always your generous comments are highly appreciated. Yes, I even have my own way to make coils with the loose ends of the running rigging. Standard procedure for most modelers seems to be to cut the line near the belaying point and make separate coils to hang them over the belaying pin or knighthead. When I started ship modeling I was not aware of that technique and drudgingly made the coils out of the real end of the line by winding it around the belaying pin and the end of a needle file 3to 5 times. The coils were then fixed with diluted white glue which can be dissolved again with water in an emergency. Every now and then, when I have to reset a line which I thought was definitely fixed and trimmed, I was glad about the excess length. Without it I would have to completely remount the complete line. Therefore I stick to this technique, cumbersome as it is. Take care and enjoy a very happy new year, all of you Peter Blue Ensign 1 Quote current build: The Naval Cutter Alert by flyer - Vanguard Models - scale 1:64 completed builds: HMS Bellerophon by flyer - Victory Models - scale 1:72 Yacht America by flyer - Mamoli - scale 1:66 - with some alterations Dolphyn Corel 1/50 Wasa Corel 1/75 La Gloire C.Mamoli 1/90 HM Bomb Vessel Granado JoTiKa HM Bomb Vessel Granado 1756 CC kit 1:64 Victory Models 1/64 HMS Pegasus by Flyer HMS Pickle, my interpretation

flyer Posted January 19, 2015 Author #407 Posted January 19, 2015 After cleaning up the forecastle the remaining braces and the missing lines on the gaff and boom of the mizzen were installed. After belaying all those lines – rigging was finished! There remains still a lot to do: More gun port lids are already installed but there are still two remaining to be made. Also the rails of the main and foretop are not yet there. The safety/emergency steering chains of the rudder must be fixed and the anchors are not yet stowed. Also the hammock netting is still partly missing. And finally the slightly reworked lantern still waits to be mounted. All the lines on the forecastle are belayed The remaining braces and other lines on the quarterdeck are in place The quarterdeck is cleaned up, but the rudder safety chain is not yet finished and the lantern is still missing The colour scheme on the foremost gun port lid follows the colour on the fuselage The rail of the mizzen top is in place The anchors are still missing but she already looks quite good Timmo, mobbsie, Beef Wellington and 7 others 10 Quote current build: The Naval Cutter Alert by flyer - Vanguard Models - scale 1:64 completed builds: HMS Bellerophon by flyer - Victory Models - scale 1:72 Yacht America by flyer - Mamoli - scale 1:66 - with some alterations Dolphyn Corel 1/50 Wasa Corel 1/75 La Gloire C.Mamoli 1/90 HM Bomb Vessel Granado JoTiKa HM Bomb Vessel Granado 1756 CC kit 1:64 Victory Models 1/64 HMS Pegasus by Flyer HMS Pickle, my interpretation

The lantern was fixed with 2 additional diagonal struts in a way which I found in a book about HMS Pandora. I was thinking to rework the rather slim posts for the swivel guns into an octagonal shape but decided against it (out of sheer laziness). Instead I strengthened the tops with iron bands made of cartridge paper.
