PHOTOS 98 to 105: From these photos on we show you various construction details that might serve as a guide for fitting the
different parts of the hull, masts and spars and the rigging.
MASTS AND SPARS
In order to make up the masts the first step is to cut the rods to size, as indicated in the parts list, or by taking measurements
directly from plans, which are printed in 1/1 scale.
All of the masts and yards have to have a certain conical shape, which you must give them.
In order to achieve this conical shape for the masts, sand down the rod (using a sander), sanding down more as you get closer
to the top end, where you want to decrease the diameter. Roll the rod so that you sand it down evenly on all sides, until you
have achieved the diameter indicated in the plan.
In order to make up the mast for this model correctly you must take the following into account:
- Plans Nos
- The close up photos of the masts
- The measurements and description of the materials given in the parts list
- The "IP" Parts Identification sheets
The mast must be varnished and some of the parts that make them up will have to be painted. See general and close up photos
of the masts.
Once the mast has been assembled and varnished attach the tackle (slings, blocks, eyebolts, clump blocks, etc.) and attach
them to the ship. The mast must be inserted until it comes up against the mast step in the false keel.
SAILS AND RIGGING
In order to make up the running gear for this ship follow the alphabetic order of the figures printed in plan, indicating the order
for fitting the ropes, clump blocks, blocks, sails, etc., highlighted in red. In combination with the parts list this will serve as a
guide with regard to the type of material to be used.
To simulate the aging of the sails you can boil them in tea and leave them to dry all wrinkled up. Fit them in place without ironing
so that they have body.
