SUPERSTRUCTURE
Having reached this stage in the construction of your model, follow the established numerical order and make up the parts represented
in this section. Some of these parts have to be painted and decorated. To this end use acrylic water-based paints. Once the parts have
been made up they must be glued into position as shown in the photos. Use quick drying glue for the assembly and fitting into place.
When fitting the loft (no. 105), you should insert the mast without gluing it in place, so that it can be centred.
The make up of the body of the bails (no. 119) is completed by wrapping them in the pieces of cloth (no. 120) and tying them using the
ties (no. 121).
MASTS AND RIGGING
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 the plan, which is printed in 1/1 scale.
All of the masts and yards have a certain conical shape to them.
In order to achieve this conical shape for the mast, sand down the rod (using a sander), sanding down more as you get closer to the
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.
To ensure the conical shape of the yards carry out the same operations as above, only this time at both ends of the rod. Follow steps
"A", "B" and "C".
In order to make up the mast for this model correctly you must take the following into account:
-
Plan
-
The close up photos
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 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.
RUNNING GEAR
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
(ropes, clump blocks, blocks, etc.) in red. In combination with the parts list this swill 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.
