Hello, Namabiiru,
This is tricky. (See image)
I'm thinking about how to make it.

You could ask your dearest one, the light of your life, if, by any chance, she also wouldn't like to do some very fine artistic embroidery.

Maybe iron t-shirt transfer printed on inkjet printer? They have those at Joyful Honda.

Use a inktjet printer. My sails on the Spanish Galeon are made like that.

Hello, Namabiru and Steif 66,
Transferring designs onto T-shirts using an inkjet printer and an iron.
It's something everyone thinks about.
I thought about it too.
But since other people are doing the same thing, I came up with a slightly different method.
After sewing the sail and shaping it, I harden both sides with clear lacquer.
I plan to create a decal of the Double-Headed Eagle illustration.
I have an out-of-production Alps Electric MicroDry printer, so I’ll use that to create the decal.
The Obon holiday is from the 10th to the 16th, but since relatives will be visiting and the children will be coming home, I won’t be able to work on the project during the Obon holiday.
I plan to start working on it after the Obon holiday ends.

Enjoy your Obon holiday. We will travel to Aomori to visit family at the end of Obon. Hopefully we will go north when everyone else is returning to Tokyo.


I like your decal idea, and look forward to seeing how it turns out.

[Steef66]

There is also a way to make sails from Japanese paper and paint. Did you see my attempt in my log the Prins Willem?

 

[GIG1810]

Hey Melpapa,

wirklich sehr schöne Idee. Tolles Wappen!

Cheers, Günther!

Hello, Steef66,
I saw Prince Willem's attempt at making sails.
It was an eye-opener.
I didn't know there was such a method.
Perhaps I was too fixated on the fabric.
Also, Steef66's shipbuilding skills are masterful.
He is the ultimate pervert.
(In the Japanese model-making world, people with superb craftsmanship are respectfully praised as “ultimate perverts.”)

Hallo, GIG1810,
vielen Dank für Ihr Lob.
Ich habe den Doppeladler mit der Software Illustrator auf meinem Computer nachgezeichnet.
Das Ergebnis werde ich erst sehen, wenn ich einen Aufkleber angefertigt und ihn auf das Segel geklebt habe.
Ich werde diese Methode ausprobieren.

I would actually go with Nerd or Geek as the proper translation of Otaku. Pervert sounds like Henna Ojisan!

Perhaps, but everyone who knows and loves Stephan rather prefers 'ultimate pervert.'

Namabiiru, dockattner, hello,
In the Japanese model-making community, people who excel at model-making techniques are called “ultimate perverts.”
Even though they are amateurs, they can create works that surpass those of professionals, and their craftsmanship is so unique that no one can easily replicate it. They are referred to with respect as “ ultimate pervert.”
Those who create models rarely use the term “otaku.”
It's people who don't create models who call those who do “otaku.”

知らなかったです。日本語で ultimate pervert をどう言いますか？

 

[Jimsky]

知らなかったです。日本語で ultimate pervert をどう言いますか？

究極の変態 (Kyūkyoku no Hentai)

 

[mellpapa]

知らなかったです。日本語で ultimate pervert をどう言いますか？

Hello, Namabiiru,
It's “Kyūkyoku no Hentai.”
Or “Dai Hentai.”
“Dai Hentai” is extremely perverted.
People who are a little more than amateurs are simply called “Hentai.”

Jimsky, hello,
“Kyūkyoku no Hentai”
That's exactly right!
It's also called “Dai Hentai.”
“Dai Hentai” is extremely perverted.

My wife was very surprised to hear this. She asked if only ship builders use that phrase with that meaning. In Akihabara there are many Dai Hentai, but they don’t build ships.

Hey, Namabiiru,
Not only shipbuilders, but also people who make scale models and character models in general, as well as those who do full scratch building, are referred to as “Hentai” among model enthusiasts if they are more skilled than amateurs.
Among those who are more skilled than amateurs, those who are even more skilled are referred to as “Dai Hentai” or “Kyūkyoku no Hentai” among model enthusiasts.

 

[mellpapa]

In Japanese kanji, “Dai hentai” means “大変態” and “Kyūkyoku no Hentai” means “究極の変態.”

The term “Dai hentai” or “Kyūkyoku no Hentai” is used to respectfully refer to someone who has outstanding model-making skills.

But I think you must be well-acquainted with that person to use that name, or it might cause a fight!

@mellpapa @Namabiiru I don't speak Japanese but know it is difficult to translate. So I take pervert as compliment. Thanks guys.
But @dockattner you're a bad boy.
