The making of the sail.
Here step by step of the making of my sail
First I trace the contour of the sail follow by 2 more line 2mm inside and 2 mm outside
for the making of my sail I use the same glue that I use to glue the second planking on my ships a non toxic water-based rubber contact cement that cure in around 20 minute and stay flexible when dry. So using that kind of glue I fill the 4mm that make the edge of the sail and wait around 10 minutes to let it dry a bit then cut the sail to size
I then fold the edge to have a nice finish using the handle of a pair of pliers I press the edge to equalize the border. both sail prepare
Show the line that I trace to represent the sheet of canvas that are made the sail
Is the sewing of the rope that made the edge that is follow by the vertical line themselves The sail complete and the sail sew to the yard.
It look as a complicated process but in fact it is not.
In fact it do not need any sewing skill it just need patience.
Sail was made simultaneity for the section and the ship

Ok I have to apologizes as I did not properly documented
The reasons are (not an excuse but circumstance) was doing log on a site Dry Dock Model that close approximately at that time and did not see the point to do it anymore
Also was cut will increase work load at the office so that it

All the mast where turn when I did the section as the 3 fighting platform
All the sail where hand sewn at the same time as the section
The only problem to made it was the height, the mail royal and main skysail as I have to put the ship on a small stool to be comfortable to do them

Here picture of the complete ship

Now an evaluation of the kit
It is a level 4 kit if you do strait from the box it will go easily
I know a modeler (Andrea) that did the (DeAgostini) version without all the paint and the tit bit I did, and is version is just fantastic way better then mine.

My son is very happy with is boat and that is what is important
Took me 7y from the time I got the kit and the finish did a lots of other thing during that time but I have learn a lot from it.

It's a wonder Nelson and Collingwood didn't say"goodbye" when they saw that big bugger!

Seriously, Nice model. May I offer a suggestion for ANY warship model. Clew up the fore and mainsails. It allows the owner to see more of the deck details. It does not detract from the appearance of the ship.
