Mirabell61 Posted February 26, 2014 Author #218 Posted February 26, 2014 Thank you Bob, I was a bit unsure in the beginning if I can do these sails,(as a first time sail-project) because I neighther operated a sewing machine before, nor did I realize what a lot of extra rigging would be involved along with that. My main doubt was, if the boltropes can be sewed on per machine at all. I found no instructions for doing so, and having some idea in mind I began Trials. Many Trial results went to the bin, but then suddenly the solution was found. One could call it "learn by doing". I thought I should share this with others as well, and hope it is understandable to whom it concerns.

flying_dutchman2 Posted February 27, 2014 #227 Posted February 27, 2014 WOW, that is a most impressive build.. AMAZING. The detailed metal work on it is enough to make me drool. Did you built the brass frames and the motor driven gear-winches from scratch. If so that is some beautiful detail.The wood on the deck has a worn look. Very realistic.The rigging on the winches looks so real. The rigging on this boat is intense as well. You really have to concentrate that every rope goes in its correct position.Your sketches look great as well. Engineering or mechanical drafting background?I also like that you have some figures on the deck.What type of fabric do you use for your sails? Linen or silk?On my Yacht Mary I used linen and I liked that. Also goes well with the sewing machine.The sails look great and my philosophy is that, a ship without sails is not a ship. It gives you the complete model with all the rigging needed. I find that you do outstanding work. What is the ships final destination? European Maritime museum? I enjoyed following the log and learned some new methods from it. Thanks for sharing. Marc avsjerome2003 and Mirabell61 2 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

Mirabell61 Posted February 27, 2014 Author #229 Posted February 27, 2014 Marc, Thank you, those were very nice words, and it encourages and honours me very much. Let me answer your questions as follows.... All metal work (winches etc.), is from scratch, except for the wire spanners, and the smallest portholes. I also liked the appeal of the Pitchpine deck Woods, it Looks realistic and gives such a lovely warm tone. In my career it was common to use handscetches for quick explainations within Meetings etc.. My Background is Maschinenbau-Ingenieur and Schweissfachingenieur. (mechanical Engineering) Some do`nt like figures on models, but I feel they can bring some life to the model. The fabric is thin fine cottoncloth "Nesselstoff" I found at IKEA. No Problem with sewing at all. As Long as the space Problem in my home does not get worse, The Pamir shall decorate my Hobby Office, for the time after that I have`nt made up my mind yet.
