Bob,

 

I`m simply just happy for everybody who can or may find some Inspiration, perhaps by seeing the one or other Thing that could be used for his or her next build. This is what I like so much on MSW

the brass engraved nameplate, this shall go into the glasscase, attached on brackets

 

 

 

before I move on to the sail making part, I have a set of Pictures taken with daylight ilumination which turns out a much better Quality than the hobbyroom lights. It shall show the ship ready to take on the sails.

After that set of Pictures, I shall Show the results of my own sail making (and sewing) Trials, because I found nobody that would do it for me...

I have to make the sails for my schooner, my wife was quite a good seemstress and had a very good sewing machine with feet for just about anything you could want to do. I should have built the schooner before the divorce :D

Now I am in your boat and have to do it myself.

Well done on all that rigging.  Now I see why they had specific belaying locations for specific lines.  If the line was not in the correct place you would never find it.

That is absolutely correct Bob,

 

I have been told that the Young lads had to learn by heart the Location of every single belaying Point so that even in the dark nobody would by mistake loosten the wrong line, which could be fatal for safety and lives

Where on earth did you get these plated/riveted panels?

 

Rob

Hi Rob,

 

the plates are all self made...., there is a Brief Demonstration how I did it, If you would like to see at the end of Build log part 2 for my "steamship Heinrich Kayser" in Topic scratch built models in Progress.

There I used exactly the same procedure as for Pamir

Crackers, B.E., Mark,

 

Thank you all for those appreciative comments, I feel very honoured that my model is so much liked, there were times when I thought that the rigging would never end an I should have left away at least the sail relevant running rigging.

SAIL MAKING

 

 

 

post-3445-0-79175300-1393253629_thumb.jpg

this is the Basic sail Cloth, fine woven Cotton from warehouse IKEA

 

post-3445-0-66581100-1393253628_thumb.jpg

the different threads, all 100% Polyester thread

 

post-3445-0-28059900-1393253630.jpg

textile glue for prefixing the folded edges (instead of Fixing with needles)

 

post-3445-0-57616100-1393253630.jpg

this is hollow woven Polyester-line (will be used for boltropes)

 

post-3445-0-74090700-1393253619_thumb.jpg

first take the sails dimensions, horizontal width on top an bottom, vertical lengths

and draw a paper pattern (template for transfering dimensions to Cloth)

 

post-3445-0-66207400-1393253617_thumb.jpg

Cloth is then moisted (and spray-starched) and irond dry, then do transfered pencil markings on Cloth.My recomended procedure is to add all around twice additional parallel lines in 4mm distance fron another. Leave some additional Cloth all around ! That will give stability to the Cloth when sewing

then mark the cutaways in the corners (cut later on)

The vertical "seams" on the sail resemble the the individual Cloth breadths ( in scals here 7-8mm)

 

 

post-3445-0-23111300-1393253626_thumb.jpg

the stain is what hapens if the iron is left on the Cloth too Long, well most of the stain will be cut away afterwards

 

post-3445-0-56044200-1393253622_thumb.jpg

 

 

post-3445-0-40276800-1393253631_thumb.jpg

here handscetch how the edges are folded twice, how and when the glue for Fixing is applied, and how and where the boltrope is attached by laying a zick-zack stitch over the centered bolt rope. Need some experience

 

 

post-3445-0-08746900-1393253614_thumb.jpg

the bottom boltrope, only This one !, (The hollow woven Polyester thread) is reinforced with a thin (0,4mm) springhard stainless steel wire. The wire is pushed into the threads Soul by rounding the wire edge thorrowly before. Leave Surplus wire Ends Standing out. You shall bend Loops to the Ends later on

 

 

 

Will be continued.....

 

I hope it has been understandable so far, be assured it works well

 

Would love to receive some Feedback from whoever tried this procedure (preferably the "never give up" type)

SAIL MAKING PART 2

 

 

 

post-3445-0-54893100-1393315893_thumb.jpg

start with the straight seams, here distances 8mm

 

post-3445-0-26960900-1393315885_thumb.jpg

sew on the horizontal reff lines

 

post-3445-0-06062700-1393315882_thumb.jpg

sew a bit out over the pencil lines

 

post-3445-0-03630400-1393315904_thumb.jpg

trim off the Surplus Cloth with fringed out Ends, but leave 2 x 4mm markings standing

 

post-3445-0-39141600-1393315877_thumb.jpg

do some Trial machine sewing on the boltrope

 

post-3445-0-53411800-1393315896_thumb.jpg

this 0,4mm spring hard stainless steel wire goes into the woven Polyester thread

 

post-3445-0-73202500-1393315900_thumb.jpg

should be no Problem if the wire edge is deburred and rounded carefully before inserting

 

post-3445-0-28157000-1393315888_thumb.jpg

your result should look like this

 

post-3445-0-28492100-1393315891_thumb.jpg

attach rings to the bottom outside boltrope Ends (bend a small Loop on the reinforcement wire Ends to pick up the ring)

 

post-3445-0-71008200-1393315898_thumb.jpg

this sewing foot for the machine is used for the last sewing seam parallel to the bolt rope and goes all around the sail

post-3445-0-92214800-1393317360_thumb.jpg

here doing the last seam parallel to the bolt rope. In case of the triangle sail the longer straight side gets the reinforced boltrope. (to take the pull stresses in rigged condition, without distorting the Cloth)
