druxey Posted March 9, 2018 #513 Posted March 9, 2018 A small but irritating point: I made the same error on a model some years ago. The netting for stowing the sail is incomplete. The illustration we referred to only shows the first stage of creating the netting, the zig-zag part. A more experienced modeler pointed this out to me. The second stage is to tie alternating pairs of those longitudinal threads together (I used fine fly-tying line) to form diamond-shaped netting. It was fiddly and tedious work, best done on a jig off-model. But perhaps you didn't want to know this! However, you are doing such a lovely job on your rigging I thought I'd mention it. tlevine, paulsutcliffe, aviaamator and 12 others 15 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
marsalv Posted March 18, 2018 Author #514 Posted March 18, 2018 Hi druxey, I know about this problem. This situation describes David Antscherl in his book of Swan model (the picture from your post is propably from this book). But on the other hand, I have no reason to disbelive informations which was published by Lees and Petersson (both books I own). Standing rigging is finished, the rudder is in place. Now is the time to prepare the sails. Bluto 1790, Timmo, PeteB and 33 others 36 Quote

marsalv Posted April 13, 2018 Author #517 Posted April 13, 2018 Thank you guys. After a short break I started to sewing the sails. I managed to get a nice soft batiste with a slight beige touch, so I did not have to work with a dye. At this moment, I have sewn all the sails on which "only" is left to add different reinforcement and reef bands, add a bolt rope and fasten the reef points. And then, of course, bending the sails to the yards - that´s enough work. Tigersteve, aviaamator, Mirabell61 and 21 others 24 Quote

Ilhan Gokcay Posted April 27, 2018 #530 Posted April 27, 2018 Perfekt. This is a very fine fabric. Are there two or three folds at the edges. If two, how do you make it that the edges don't get fuzzy. And the belts, are there any folds or are they only one layer ? mtaylor 1 Quote _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ilhan Gokcay In progress: Loreley Steam Yacht 1884 , Scale:1/75 (Build Log) Finished: Matthew 1497, Scale:1/50 (Build Log) , (Gallery) Istanbul Kayığı (Coastal trade vessel of Istanbul) 18 th c.

MikeR Posted April 27, 2018 #531 Posted April 27, 2018 Outstanding sails I have one question. How is the rope attached to the edge of the sails? Mike R mtaylor 1 Quote
marsalv Posted April 30, 2018 Author #532 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) To Druxey - some sails will be partially furled - fore and main course, sprit sail and sprit topsail - from this reason I saved little bit time and made no water holes - they will not be visible. To Ilhan Gokcay - there are only two folds at the edge. The edges are reinforced with diluted PVA ( 3 (water):1 (PVA) ratio). After drying is posiible tu cut the cloth without fraying.The belts are made from the same reinforced cloth - without folds. Mike R - bolt rope is attached with glue for textile. Now all the sails are attached to their yards. Edited April 30, 2018 by marsalv Captain Poison, Ilhan Gokcay, FatFingers and 30 others 33 Quote

Ilhan Gokcay Posted April 30, 2018 #534 Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks for the info Marsalv, much beautiful sails. In the past I did use CA for the rigging. But now I only use PVA glue and this works well. In my last model I made three folds at the edges with some fight. Next I will try the two folds. mtaylor and aviaamator 2 Quote _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ilhan Gokcay In progress: Loreley Steam Yacht 1884 , Scale:1/75 (Build Log) Finished: Matthew 1497, Scale:1/50 (Build Log) , (Gallery) Istanbul Kayığı (Coastal trade vessel of Istanbul) 18 th c.

marsalv Posted May 11, 2018 Author #535 Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I started to install yards and sails. I wanted to furl the spritsail course and spritsai topsail, but I was not satisfied with the result, so I changed my mind and decided to leave these sails without furling. From this reason I had to make additionally the water holes in the spritsail course (Druxey - you were right). It was somewhat complicated because the yard with sail has already been installed on the bowsprit. Edited May 11, 2018 by marsalv Calhoun Zabel, JOUFF, mmdd and 28 others 31 Quote
