Sailing modeling. Sailing Modeling Museum Quality Wooden Kits

Description

LS MODEL presents its new model for self-assembly Wooden Kit - Peter the Great's boat.
The museum-quality prefabricated model was created strictly according to archival drawings and has historical accuracy.
The Wooden Kit for building a bench model made of wood includes: elements of parts made of precious woods (full laser cutting), step-by-step instructions with explanations of assembling the model, sewn sails in the kit, threads for making rigging, brass wire, elements of parts made of brass, cast metal cannon barrels, colored flags, external aft decor (cast plastic).

In the ancestral village of Izmailovo in 1688, Peter I found an old boat, according to one version, it was English. By order of the sovereign, the wooden ship was restored, the mast and sails were also installed.
The length of the small boat according to the measurement points of 1837 between the perpendiculars was 6.019 meters. Width without sheathing 1.911 meters. Width with sheathing 1.968 meters. The height of the side along the midships is 0.813 meters. The height of the side on the stem is 0.997 meters. The height of the side on the sternpost is 1.003 meters. The width of the transom at the height of the gunwale is 0.984 meters. The height of the mast is 6.606 meters. The diameter of the mast at the can is 0.152 meters. The length between the stems is 6.096 meters. Transom height 1.4 meters.
In terms of its dimensions and windage, the boat is close to the modern Yal-6, but much heavier than it. The boat's hull weight was 1286.71 kg, and the sail area was about 18 sq.m.
Botik frames - oak, chopped, with a section of 70 x 57 mm. Each frame consists of two branches, the right and left sides, laid in overlapping each other. Additional shortened frames were placed between the main ones, extending from the keel to half the height of the side. All branches of the frames lie on the keel and are covered on top with a kilson connecting them with a section of 304.8 x 50.8 mm.
The sides, in addition to a strong gunwale (111.1 x 50.8 mm), are reinforced with velvet, laid directly on the frames. The boat is sheathed with coniferous boards 28.6 mm thick hewn to the ends.
On the gunwale of the boat there are three pin oarlocks (shkarmas) in a checkerboard pattern. The fourth was inserted under a removable liner at the beginning of the right spiegel (stern bulwark). During the next repair, this liner was sealed up tightly and even the pillow of the scarf was removed, a trace of which remained. Rowing was carried out in swing, but since the boat is quite heavy, it is quite possible that two people sat on each oar.

Boat decor: between the gunwale and velvet, 64 alternating triangles of white, blue and red colors are applied to the sides of the boat. The aft bulwarks are covered with paintings with a motif of rhythmically repeating curls of a plant shoot. On the inside of the transom is a double-headed eagle framed with a similar ornament. The boat's tackboard is decorated with low relief carvings. It consists of a plot composition with the figure of a saint in the center. To the right of it is placed a conditionally made boat, close in silhouette to a bead, and to the left a small building. This composition is framed with a floral ornament of large acanthus leaves and freestyle curls. The carving of the ornament is distinguished by the expressiveness and laconicism of its artistic language, due to which its clear forms are visible not only near, but also from a distance. Below the composition, on the very transom, there are stylized mascarons that combine the features of a lion's head and a human face.

Peter I, sailing on a boat on the Millet Pond and the Yauza River, learned to sail. But the Yauza was too narrow, and the Millet Pond was small, and the tsar moved the boat to Lake Pleshcheyevo, which became the cradle of the Russian navy. By the summer of 1692, about a hundred large and small ships of the amusing flotilla of Peter I were ready.
The creation of a funny flotilla on Lake Pereslavl became a milestone in the history of Russian military shipbuilding. Maneuvering on the waters of Lake Pleshcheyevo strengthened Peter I in his intention to create a fleet for approval on the shores of the Azov and Baltic Seas. In 1722, Peter I called the little boat "the grandfather of the Russian fleet."

First you have to really want to. So that it is not possible to sleep and one thought covers my head - this must be done! Then think over everything, calculate, draw up a work plan, have patience. And start! - this is the main thing. We write in Archives, Museums, study the web and literature, establish contacts with people. We are going to St. Petersburg to look at the original ship. TsVMM (Central Naval Museum), Botik - exhibit No. 1 and a relic of our fleet. We study the original and get the measurement sheets of the hull, spars, practical things and the supply of the vessel.

We move around St. Petersburg to the Boat House in the Peter and Paul Fortress. Now there is a replica of Botik, built by craftsmen at the Okhta shipyard in 1996. It was an order from the RF Ministry of Defense for the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet. We turn to the management with a request to conduct control measurements, we get one and measure everything that we need.

We return home and sit down for design work. It's tricky, but interesting. The result should exactly repeat the representations from the museum measurement sheets. The more detailed the project is worked out in the drawings, the fewer questions will arise during construction. I got about 70 working drawings.

When drawing matters are left behind, it's time to think about where to start and where it can be done. I decided to start the project with the manufacture of parts of the set, spars, sensible things and supplies. This is a large and painstaking work that requires a lot of time, and it seemed to me burdensome to do it after the hull work. This part of the work does not require large areas, everything can be done in a small workshop.

In the workshop, a boom and hafel, a bowsprit and shverts, a set of blocks and yufers, a steering gear, steps and full set set of the vessel - stems and frames, with the exception of the keel beam - it did not pass in dimensions.

What is the advantage of such a workshop? - two steps away from homemade coffee.

In the course of work, a forge will definitely be required. On Botik, a lot of things are made by hand forging. I made a forge with a friend in the garage.
She is unprepossessing, but she met all the requirements set before her. Placing orders for the manufacture of parts somewhere on the side is depriving yourself of the opportunity to try to do it yourself. This is unacceptable!

Blacksmithing is a very interesting activity. The metal becomes malleable and working with it is a pleasure. Of course, you don't have to be a professional here.

It is not Gods who burn pots - you have to try, study and try again and everything will work out!

All parts that have passed the fire and the anvil are best buried. Good initial corrosion protection and excellent appearance.

When the work in the workshop is over and all the elements of the vessel are manufactured, it will be time to choose a site for slipway work. This is the hull assembly. I got a dump.

You have to work a lot, otherwise the dump will remain a dump, no matter how much you look at it.

It's good when a team works, but if you're not afraid - it's checked - a lot can be done alone. Patience and a little effort!

The result was a kind of boathouse, summer version, but it was meant to be.

It's time to move on to the slipway. The timber structure, leveled, was previously calculated and drawn on paper. On it, on the slipway, we give a breakdown of the main provisions - the axis of the DP and places for frames.

The first frame went. This is Midel.

All frames are set in the "upside down" position. Subsequently, in this position it is very convenient to work with the installation of the outer skin.

Items are put up strictly in the allotted positions, checking with a plumb line for each frame. The work must be done as accurately as possible, all subsequent operations depend on it.

The next step is to put the keel.

Before that, we work with him. We select a tongue and assemble it through a lock with a stem.

The keel is connected to the frames by through bolted connections. Used bolts M8 stainless steel. become.

The next step is the installation of the bow, the so-called rotary frames, they are NOT placed perpendicular to the keel and stem.
They are exposed using templates taken from the theoretical drawing of the case.

Begin preparatory work before installing the cladding. First of all, this is a malkovka - removing excess wood from the frames in order to ensure a snug fit of the skin belts to them. This is done with a sh.machine and checked with a rail.

Parts of frames, so-called. futoxes, floras and top-timbers are additionally attached to each other wooden dowels. All this sits on resin.

When everything is prepared, checked, puttied and cleaned, silent and tightened, sheathing begins. It is double rack longitudinal. Laths with a section of 12x25 in two layers with overlapping along the length of the lower butt joints. The slats are laid, drawn, processed, then laid again and fastened with an intermediate fastener. When the area is gained, everything is removed and finally put on the resin, again with temporary fasteners.

All temporary holes are sealed on the tree with resin. Such special marine matches.

Here we clean, impregnate and prepare for serious protection of the tree. Wooden Case will be covered with six layers of heavy roving fabric, this should protect him from mechanical damage and excessive abrasive.

We break through, thereby we strengthen outer skin wooden dowels to frames and stems.

We put plugs, covering the heads of the bolts.

Again, we clean everything, grind, impregnate and get just such a beautiful little thing.

A very crucial moment in construction begins - the manual formation of plastic. Here you can get by alone, but you don’t need to, you still need to call your comrade for help. The work is dirty enough, I molded my two overalls. Get ready to protect your breath and your hands. It’s a chore, but again, you have to start and by the middle there is satisfaction, and by the end - so is the joy of what has been done.

Again skins, stripping and puttying.

Finally coloring!

Must be flipped. Truck crane to help and very carefully and quickly. Got it done in an hour.

Internal work. It is necessary to clean up all the smudges, remove the shergen-slats, and only then really begin to work.

Transom board, spigel struts, gunwale and velvet formation, keelson laying, inner lining, jars and tank flooring, working with linseed oil - all this is very interesting, it smells delicious - work is a pleasure!

Very beautiful internal protection trees - first linseed oil in two layers, on top red lead is also in two layers and then the finish coat.

The bot looks like this now.

Maritime romance
in ancient and modern numismatics

People love to collect. They collect interesting things to show to friends later or leave as a legacy to their children. Any collection is a value in itself, and a collection of old coins is a real wealth. Such a rarity is growing in price every year. Therefore, there are more and more fans of BUYING OLD COINS.

When did money with the image of ships appear
Ships have been printed on coins for a long time. At the moment, there are a little less than 900 different coins in the world depicting various ships and marine paraphernalia. Russia, Portugal and Cuba are countries that quite often print profiles of battleships and yachts on coins.
Great Britain rarely prints coins with the image of its ships, despite the fact that it is considered a great maritime power. The last coin was minted in London in 2015. 2 pounds with the image of a battleship in memory of the First World War, this is one of the most valuable British commemorative coins.
On modern coins, the whole image of the ship is often placed, and earlier it was only the stern of the ship. Today this fact has a completely different meaning. So, for example, images of specific battleships are depicted on coins if they played special role in the history of the country.

What is depicted on the coins
There is a legend that says that the full image of a ship cannot be printed on a coin, as this may affect its success. The first integral image of the ship on the coin appeared presumably in Phoenicia. Until now, many collectors are looking for and want to BUY GOLD COINS from Phoenician merchants. The image of ships on them is a reflection of the symbol of trade and travel to other countries.
This idea is also traced on modern coins. As for modern coins, the semantic ideas of images are also preserved here, but this symbolism is interpreted in a completely different way. For example, at present, the ship is presented not only as a symbol of trade and travel, but also as a demonstration of state power and as a symbol of international relations.
Also in modern numismatics, the idea of ​​the achievements of modern science can be traced, and some spiritual spheres of human life are also noted here. In 2009, the Italian Mint issued a coin dedicated to the Nobel Prize. It depicts Guglielmo Marconi and in the background is a laboratory yacht where the scientist worked for a long time.
Romance of the seas in numismatics
The marine theme is so attractive and romantic that many writers choose it for their works. They write about ancient treasures and SALE of GOLD COINS, as well as about love and fidelity, about happiness and betrayal. And the miners use the most romantic works to be depicted on money. So, on one of the coins at the Lithuanian Mint, a plot was depicted from Chingiz Aitmatov's book "The White Steamboat". The boy looks through binoculars at the white steamer and dreams of meeting his father, whom he has never seen. The coin is presented as a symbol of a childhood dream and a tribute to a talented writer.
