Excited to have found this forum and hoping to learn more from all of you.

On the Bench: HMS Bounty (Constructo 1:50)

I'm in late stages of my current build (HMS Bounty) and have had a hard time with instructions and drawing sets. Made some calls along the way that im not sure are accurate but it was the best i could do given information in kit and information or pictures i can find online. 

I'll start a build log of my progress soon and catch up to where i am now, just tangled in rope and sails. 

 

Question: how does one sew and get the sails to be full? Just starch? I am thinking to having some sails out and some furled.

 K, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. 

 

 One of the better set of sails, IMHO, was made by Bruma for his Cutty Sark build. His sail making starts on page 6 post #180.

Welcome to Model Ship World k-slak.  Beautiful work on your Bounty.  Yes, Plans and Instructions for kits from a few manufacturers can be lacking.  Additional research to augment inadequate kit plans and instructions.  Research as well as judgment calls are part of our hobby.   The research aspect is one which I find enjoyable.

 

I've seen a variety of methods, including those on MSW, for making sails.  Some modelers prefer cloth or ballooner's cloth to make sails but some cloth may be over scale.  Other modelers have had success using plain old paper or silkspan.  Personally, I prefer silkspan but that's just me.

 

Tom Lauria has posted a two-part video on making sails using silkspan.  Here's a link to his videos.

 

 

Best wishes on your modeling journey.  Welcome Aboard!

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
