How to build a sailboat from matches


The ship's hull - sailing from matches


1. Cut out the paper 2,5х8 base form the bottom of the hull.






2. Fill out the form matches, as shown in the photo, but not a match stick to the paper.


Once the glue is dry, sand the outside of the base and edges.






3. Dial glued on the basis of three series of matches. They must follow the contour of the base body with a small extension (1 mm) on the sides and rear of 5 mm and - in the bow. If a match will play for a little sailboat hull contours - it's not terrible, they are easy to be cut off after drying.




4. Cut off any protruding parts and sand the board from all sides.






5. Glue the bottom of the second tier of the body, as shown in the photo. Length - 10 cm, and width - 2.8 cm.






6. Type glued on the basis of another 2 series of matches. They must follow the contour of the base body with a small extension (1 mm) on the sides and rear of 5 mm and - in the bow.


Cut off any protruding parts and sand the board from all sides.





The upper deck of the ship - sailing from matches


7. Glue the deck, as shown in the photo. Its length - 12.5 cm (3 single matches), and the width - 3 cm., Not to be mistaken, it is easier to use paper patterns again. The upper deck extends slightly (the thickness of a match) extends the upper part of the body.


                                             Sand the outer part of the part and its ends.






8. The most straight matches paste over the upper deck on the edge. Separate cross-matches the main deck, as shown in the photo.






9. Create the add - tank - at the bow (a) and superstructure in the rear of the ship. They, too, should be made of the most evenly matches.


                                         After the glue dries grind all ends.




10. Complete the superstructure on the upper deck, as shown in the photo. The elements (side) are cut at an acute angle matches. They complete the silhouette of the deck. The length of the actual deck (item b) - 2.5 cm.


All add-ons are interconnected and deck matches, laid on top of each other so as to produce the steps.






11. It should look like the finished upper deck at this stage.






12. Complete the hull of matches. First glue together the bottom (a) and top (b) the part that you have made, following the description of claims. 1-6.


Glue the upper deck, let the glue dry and sand the sides.






13. From the smoothest matches merge the following details:


a- a match of a single protrusion at the bow of 2 cm;


б - the poop (bulwark) to the poop height of three match series. Each row in this wedge tapers down to the deck, drawing silhouette rear (stern) of the vessel;


в - wedge-shaped bulwark of single matches. They adhere to the inner side of the poop deck;


г - a level of single matches bulwarks on the inner side of the keel.






14. Since the side hull looks at this stage.






                                                                    Masts


15. Glue the four bars of matches 4x2x3 matches.






16. Carefully cut the faces and give the bars a cylindrical shape. Carefully sand the preform masts and give them the upper wedge-shaped endings.






17. Dissolve single match half and grind them - it blanks for yard. Glue the pieces of the mast as shown in the picture:


a - the central (main mast). Its length - 11.5 cm. The distance from the ground to the bottom yards - 5 cm, length yards - 5.5 cm. The distance to the average yards - 8.5 cm, length yards - 4.5 cm. The distance to the upper spar - 9 5 cm, length yards - 2 cm;


б - front (foremast). Its length - 9.5 cm. The distance from the ground to the bottom yards - 4.5 cm, length yards - 5 cm. The distance to the average yards - 7.5 cm, length yards - 4.5 cm. The distance to the upper yards - 8 5 cm, length yards - 1.5 cm;


в - back (mizzen mast). Its length - 6 cm. The distance from the ground to the bottom yards - 4.5 cm, length yards - 4 cm. The distance to the upper spar - 5 cm, length yards - 1.7 cm;


г - bowsprit - a mast that will be attached to the bow of a sailboat at an angle. Its length - 5.5 cm.


Rhea glued to the mast with the front side.






Sail sailing from matches


18. Generally, ships sails are rectangular and triangular shapes. You can make them and such. But to make the work more expressive - the effect of inflated sails - cut paper patterns sails so that the image came rushing ahead of the ship. So, for the mainmast:


a - the main-topsail of the rectangle 4,6х5,5 cm; b - the grotto of the rectangle 5,5х6,5 see.


For the foremast:


б - the fore-topsail of the rectangle 4 × 5 cm; g - the foremast of the rectangle 4,5 × 5,5 cm.


For Mizzenmast:


в - mizzen of a rectangle 4 × 5 cm.


For bowsprit:


г - bom-Blind from the rectangle 2,5х4 see.






19. Cut along the 105-FOR matches and grind the resulting halves. Glue them in pairs, as shown in the photo, let it dry and then grind on both sides.






20. Create a sail ship. To do this, cut the halves glued together by pairs matches the edge so that they coincide with the contours carved patterns sails, but do not attach items to the paper.


When the silhouette is full, cut off from the dense leaf paper (preferably color darkened matches) arc 1-2 mm wide. The shape of these arcs must follow the contour of the respective sails.


Securely glue paper to detail the arc of the halves of matches from the back side. When the glue is dry, sand the faces and the faces of all the sails.


Letter designations sails in the photo correspond to their paper counterparts, but here they are shown on the reverse.






21. Bend the ship sails out of matchsticks and glue them to the corresponding three masts, as shown in the photo. For the strength can be applied to the back side of one or two strips of adhesive. Sails are attached to reyam place and touch the sail to the mast. Drying time fix their position, for example, using coins.






The incorporation of a sailboat in the whole of matches


22. Glue the three base-mount mast as shown in the photo. Base wall on the inner side should fit snugly to the mast.






23. Glue the base made (pictured they are designated as) to the deck, as shown in the photo. If the item is done correctly, the mast will keep it even without glue.


From the most matches fabricate flat and glue on both sides of the vessel decorative fascia board (b-г). Note that the thickness of the board marked b, on the edges of fizzles.


After the glue dries grind all sides.






24. Insert the three masts with sails to the appropriate base and glue them. Bat mast must strictly perpendicular to the deck and thus deployed around an axis at an angle of 30 °. The main criterion - expressive silhouette.


Do not aspire to stick all the mast once. Easier to do it one by one. Drying time, it is desirable to prop up each mast (matchboxes, coins ...).


Glue the fourth mast - bowsprit (a).






25. Cut the match in half, to sharpen the tip and cut the bottom edge.


26. Glue the receipt of the item under the bowsprit as shown in the photo (s).






27. Glue the Blind-mast - the mast, fastening on the bowsprit. To shorten this match up to 3.2 cm, to give it a cylindrical shape and sharpen its upper end.


At a distance of 2 cm from the base paste Ray, its length - 2.5 cm. This can be Ray of two halves.






28. Bend the sail boom-Blind (see. P. 20) and glue it to the Blind-topmast, as shown in the photo.





29. From the loose half of matches glue and cut the last sail - Blind. Its width is 1.6 cm and height - the thickness of the three matches.






30. Glue the Blind-mast with a sail to a bowsprit (a). Please note that the mast is mounted at the same angle as the rest.


At the time of this drying glue the mast must be held in a vertical position with the help of supports.


Vygnete sail Blind and stick it under the bowsprit (b).






31. Make items:


a - rigging elements - fastening ropes that hold the mast and sail controls. Dissolve 7 - 8 matches into four equal parts. Grind the items received from all sides. Pick these quarters so as to be uniform in thickness, and glue the terminal ends. You will need four rope length of 3 matches, four - length of 2 matches and three cord - long 1 match;





б - a flag on the mizzen mast. Length 1.4 cm, height of the flagpole - 1.5 cm;


в - flag on the mainmast. its length


2 cm, height of the flagpole - 1.5 cm;


г - flag on the foremast. Its length is 0.7 cm, height of the flagpole - 1 cm;


д - 18 windows. Their diameter - thickness of the two matches. They are made of glued and sanded matches, disbanded in half;


e - anchor. Its length - 1.5 cm width - 1 cm;


Well - the boat or boats. The length of each no more than 1.5 cm and a width of 2-3 matches;


ж - stairs and ladders;


and - 6 rusleney (attachment site for guys (ropes)). Their length - 0.7 cm width - thickness matches.






32. Glue previously made flags, ropes and portholes as shown on the photo.






33. Glue the anchor at the bow. Boats and stairs, place on your taste.


If you wish, you can add other elements of the rigging: fixing the sails, the guys and so. N.


Tip: ... you take the bucket is filled half with water, better warm, throw the match and after 15 minutes the sulfur dissolved in water. Dostaёsh matches dry. I put on a towel and put under the battery. And come on ...




34. Sailboat of matches ready.
