PHOTO 41: Paint the rudder blade the same dark green as the hull. Adjust the size of the hinges, using cutting pliers. Make up
the rudder assembly using the parts shown in the image.
PHOTO 42: Make a 4 mm ø hole at the foot of the stern post, then attach the rudder blade to the hull using the hinges.
PHOTO 43: Paint the rubbing strakes (no, 45) green and glue them to the hull. Glue the inwales (nos. 46, 47 & 48) into place,
bearing in mind that the lengths of some of them will probably have to be adjusted. The nameplate (no. 50) is made of a ductile
metal. Before fitting it into place first adapt it to the curve of the hull, then paint it black and, with a dry brush, apply the gold
colour. Finally glue it to the hull, and also glue the part (no. 49) to the deck.
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 image and with the
distribution indicated in the plans. Use the recommended glues for assembly and fitting into place.
PHOTO 44: Make up the anchor davits (no. 138) using the eyebolts 'B' and the corresponding holes.
PHOTO 45: Using the boat layout plans as a reference, make the recesses in the bulwarks in order to fit the anchor davits into
place.
PHOTO 46: Make up the anchors assemblies using the parts (nos. 139, 140, 141 & 142. Attach the anchor tackle to the hull, as
shown in the image. Fit the part (no. 91) into place and pass the cables though to the interior.
PHOTO 47; Glue the cable (no. 143) into place as shown in the image. This cable must be wound around the windlass.
PHOTO 48: Attach the boat's tackle, knotted as shown in the image.
PHOTO 49: Make up the stern chain plates (no, 145) using the clump blocks 'F' and 'G'. Fit as many chain plates as shown in
the plans, and then paint them the same white as used on the hull.
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 plans, which are printed in 1/1 scale.
All of the masts and yards have a certain conical shape to them.
PHOTO A: 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 end where you want to decrease the diameter. Roll the rod so that the wear is the same all round it.
PHOTO B: Repeat the above operation until the diameter is as indicated in the plan. Note the difference between a treated rod
and another that has not been worked on.
PHOTO C: To ensure the conical shape of the yards carry out the same operations as above, only this time at both ends of the
rod.
In order to make up the masks for this model correctly you must take the following into account:
-
The plans
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 masts 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 masts have been assembled and varnished attach their tackle (slings, blocks, eyebolts, clump blocks, etc.) and attach
them to the ship. The masts must be inserted until they come up against the slots of in the false keel.
RUNNING GEAR
In order to make up the running gear for this ship follow the alphabetic order printed together with the instructions, indicating the
order for fitting (ropes, clump blocks, blocks, etc.).
Use plans to identify the sails. The lengths of rope that hang from the centre of the sails, called reefs, have been stitched on
apart, using 0,50 mm brown thread.
To simulate the aging of the sails, boil them in tea.
