- Today we will finish a set of sails for a wooden ship model of 1/72 scale.
We will cut sails, make edges and reef points.
Here is the link to the first part of the process:

Great video. Thank you.
Very simple to make and looks neat. Just what I was looking for.
🎉
I once built the USS Constitution. (30ish years ago) I built a display case for a specific place in our living room where it lived for years. Upon selling our home the buyers asked that it stay with the house. I agreed and always regretted it. I recently found an unbuilt kit and am going to build it again but this time I will keep it and leave it for one of my sons. I am going to plank the decks with miniature lumber I am cutting and also want to make sails instead of using the plastic sails in the kit. This video is brilliant! I hope I am able to do half as good as you have done. Had to subscribe. :)
I understand you very well! Thank you for the kind words. I wish you a pleasant and successful journey in working on the model. May it bring joy to you and all your loved ones.
Clever method you've come up with for attaching the bolt ropes. If I could make a suggestion, though... The weave of your fabric is very large, especially considering your scale. It immediately drew my eye to the fabric and not to the wonderful job you did making the sails. Not throwing shade by any means. Good Job!
Tom, thank you so much for your kind comment! I agree - there is certain issue with the weave scale. However it seems more visible in the video than it is in reality. But I’m always experementing and will think what can be done …
By the way - I really like the way you do things (sails, in particular). Your great and detailed videos gave me a lot of ideas and thoughts. Learning from them. Thank you once more!
@@shipmodelideas Thanks for the kind words. If you don't mind, I'd like to "steal" that technique of your for applying the bolt ropes. You may have just solved an on-going problem for me. Thanks and keep the good work coming. T
Welcome! We all need sources for ideas. What for to run a channel otherwise ? 😉
Your work is nice and well thought, but I think the texture of the cloth, seam stiches and boltrope thread size are out of scale for a model of 1:72 scale. Silkspan or Esaki paper would have been better choices for that scale
@halituzun, thank you for your komment.
Agree. With regard to silk span, thinner fabric, or paper - they would fit better in scale. But the fabric I use is quite thin either. Although the fabric seems too rough when watching the video, this is partly the effect of hard light and shooting on a mobile phone.
Great video, could you tell me what kind of fabric you use?
Thank you. I used the thinnest fabric I found that time, but it is a bit out of scale. In general I use batiste fabric, or other thin fabric for shirts. for the scale 1/72 - the thinner the thread the better.
@@shipmodelideas thank you, I’m going to try making sails on my next ship and will follow your great instructions.
Wish you all the best. And, it will be interesting to know your feedback;)
Beautiful work! I’m new to this hobby and I’m struggling with sewing,how did you make the vertical lines? Was a sewing machine used, also, what type of syringe and needle and what type of glue were you using?
If you turn on subtitles you will see the comments. Perhaps they will answer some of your questions.
Yes, I used a sewing machine for the vertical seams.
I used a syringe needle. Needle diameter 0 8 mm.
I used PVA glue diluted with water. Dilution ratios are indicated in the subtitles. But in reality there are no rules. You need to experiment and select such a mixture that it is not too liquid and not too thick.
Красиво ,аккуратно.А где накладки,усиления,боуты,риф-банты,платы?И теперь главный вопрос,на заказ шьете паруса?
Спасибо. В 72м масштабе считаю добавление деталей конструктива паруса излишним, все плюшки, как и пришивание ликтроса нитками, имхо, имеют смысл хотя бы начиная с 65го масштаба.
На заказ не шью.
what are those "reef beckets" for? (Bad english sry). Also, what's the mm of the sail rope you used on the edges? thanks.
Well, that's difficult to guess now what kind of local slang has been used by sailors back in the XVIII century. These ropes were used for reefing - folding or rolling the sail on one edge to reduce its area (in a strong wind or to improve visibility from the cockpit). For this "reef-becket" word (it looks like it is an old word) you may also find different synonyms, like “reefing lines" + "reef points" and even "knittle".
So, call them as you like :)
For bolt-ropes on a 1/72 scale, I use 0.4 mm rope.
@@shipmodelideas Perfect, mate, thank you! I wondered what was the purpose of it, and couldn't find it on google. Thanks!!
magnific
Thank you 🙏
What tissue did you used?
At this scale, the fabric should be as thin as possible. Look in your local stores for white fabric for shirts, but thin cambric is better.
Bolt-ropes actually should be on back of the sail, not at the edge …
This is one of possible approximations. And you are welcome to share your technique. How do you make sails for 1/72?
