LyleK1 Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share #301 Posted May 31, 2023 Sorry about the long delay... spring and summer activities are in full swing! Didn't work on the Bounty this month at all except today! As promised a few months back, here is the procedure I use for weathering/aging my sails: Gather up your sails, a bowl of water and tea bags or in my case, tea cups (you'll see!). Also a few rubber bands are needed. 1. Wet the sail... make sure it is completely soaked and then the excess squeezed out. You can see the "cups" I used but tea bags work just fine too. 2. Sprinkle the tea particles very heavily around the edges of the sail. Be liberal with the tea on the edges. Add more tea particles to the center portion, randomly making heavier spots. 3. Press the tea particles into the sail with your fingers/hand. They won't all stay in place but enough will. Fold over the sail and ball it up real tight. Wrap a rubber band or two around the sail to keep it balled up. 4. Dip them into the water very quickly and remove. Let the sails set for at least 1-1.5 hours. The longer left, the darker the color. So, be careful not to go too far! 5. Remove the rubber bands and unfold the sail. Using a stiff brush, removing as much of the tea particles as possible. 6. Using a hair dryer (or you can just let them dry naturally), dry the sails and remove the remaining tea particles. The sails will lighten up a bit as they dry. The following pictures are wet sails: And here are the same sails dried and ready to be worked: The sails are weathered, splotchy and dingy around the edges... perfect for an aged model. Hope this answers some of the questions I received about ageing the sails! mort stoll, Knocklouder, DaveBaxt and 7 others 10 Quote Lyle "The only thing that stays the same is the constant state of change" Completed Builds: Occre HMS Terror - https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2065-hms-terror-occre/ NRG Half Hull Project - https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23546-half-hull-project-by-lylek1-nrg/ 1:130 1847 Harvey - https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2125-1847-baltimore-clipper-harvey-1130-scale/ Scott Miller's Sea of Galilee Boat - https://modelshipworld.com/topic/29007-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-se-miller-120-scale-lylek1/ In progress: Artesania Latina HMS Bounty - https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26817-hms-bounty-by-lylek1-artesania-latina-148-scale/ Waiting for dry-dock space: Model Shipways - USS Constitution Master Korbel - Cannon Jolle 1801 A Scratch build -TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyleK1 Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share #306 Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Still some time before our next trips get started! So back at it! The fore top gallant yard and sail were hung today. I attached the halyard to the yard and then bent (?) the sail to the yard. After tightening and knotting, I ran the halyard line to the deck for attaching later. I also attached blocks on the lower corners of the sails for rigging. I'll set the sail after getting the yard rigged. On we go!

LyleK1 Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share #309 Posted June 13, 2023 Two down and many to go! Please leave a comment on the way I've set the sails... I'm looking for that furled and dry-set state. Although the sails are well made, they are bulky and I think will be better displayed with a mix. Additionally, I get the added bonus of leaving the ship easier to view since the sails will be one way or the other. So far, I think it looks good. Thoughts?

LyleK1 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share #314 Posted June 17, 2023 Foremast is mostly done... still a few lines that need to be buttoned up but that will come a little later. It never ceases to amaze me at how many lines are needed to operate the masts, yards and sails... these sailors were/are a marvel! Starting on the main mast yards and I think I'll go ahead and build up the mizzen mast yards and booms before moving on to the next set of sails and rigging. Only a couple of weeks before we leave for the summer and early fall. We'll see how much I can get done before the 4th of July!

No... I have all the yards and booms built but they need to be painted/stained and all the blocks, etc still need to be added. All that has to be done before I can get back on the sails and running rigging. Additionally, there is the touch-up work and all the staging of the interior. I'm leaving on the 2nd of July and not returning until late August and then again in late September until November! As I'm sure you know, you just can't rush this work... it is very time consuming.

LyleK1 Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share #322 Posted September 18, 2023 So for this update, I thought I would go through how I mount a sail to the yard and then mount the yard and run the rigging for that sail. The sail I'm working on is the Main Top Sail. I begin by cutting several small ropes about 2.5" long to tie the sail to the yard. Once cut, using a needle, I attach each piece to the sail: ... and tie it to the yard using a simple overhand knot. After all are attached and the sail positioned equally side to side, I cut the excess rope and use a dab of CA glue on the knots to ensure nothing comes loose: Next, I layout the position of the blocks to be added to the sail and tie the block needed: The blocks are attached with a simple overhand knot and the loose ends removed, again, using a spot of glue on each: I cheat a little when hanging my yards! Trust me, it makes thing soooo much easier in the long run. There is so much work that goes into each and every sail that it is nearly impossible to get the yard to stay put! I cut a small piece of brass rod and drill a hole into the mast and the yard in the position that I plan to mount the yard. A dab of CA is used on the mast side of the rod only... I do not glue the yard to the rod. This allows me some freedom of movement but not so much as to be frustrating: The yard is mounted: Let the rigging begin! I do the yard lifts first. I run the lines to their end points but I do not tie them off until I have the lines run for each type. So, for example, I run all the bunt and leech lines before tightening and tying off: And then I realized I had forgotten to attach the Parrel to the yard before hanging! Not too difficult to recover! But would've been a whole lot easier to have done it on the table: Once all the lines are run, I begin drawing them up to shape my sail. As noted, I'm displaying my Bounty with the sails in a dry-set configuration. The sail is shaped but still needs some finesse! In this case, I'll leave the lines loose until I have the Main sail up and can figure out what will look best: It looks similar to the Fore mast top sail... maybe to much... dunno yet! I am going through rope so fast! I have to stop and make more before moving on. Be back in a month or so! Off to Europe for a month!

LyleK1 Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share #326 Posted November 3, 2023 Takes a bit to get back into things! But after a few days of familiarizing myself, I got moving on finishing the main mast. I decided to furl the sails on the main mast. It keeps the sails and associated lines present but leaves the ship more open to viewing. And it still meets the look I am trying to achieve Here are a few pictures with top gallant and top sails essentially done and the course sail in progress with the lower yard just installed today: And off we go! More in a few days as I am focused on getting through the build by years' end... but not rushing it!
