An origami boat with its own hands: a diagram and a step-by-step master class with photos and videos

The symbol of travel has always been a ship that dissects waves. Plunging into the thought of distant voyages to new countries, you begin to feel the light touch of the sea breeze on your skin, and breathe in the fresh air of the open sea with your chest. Having trained my hand in modular art, I propose to create an origami ship, the scheme will help you to make it as realistic as possible.

Here are the simplest options for beginners:

And more experienced craftsmen can make this masterpiece:

Where to start?

First of all we need to prepare modules for the future ship. As a preform for triangles, I used 4 x 6 cm paper. As for the color decision of the ship, it remains only at your discretion. In the first couple, in order not to get confused in the scheme, you can use the same colors as me.

So, the scheme of addition of workpiece modules:

The total number of triangular elements is 1027.

Step-by-step master class

In the technique of a modular origami ship, we begin with the construction of three rows of bases. In each row we should have 47 red modules:

After the rows are closed in a ring, give the figure a little oval shape and turn the workpiece over. Starting with the 4th row, we can gradually increase the number of modules. To do this, in 4 base places( from the sides of the future stern and nose of the ship) we will need to dress not 1, but 2 modules:

In the fifth row of the model, we again repeat the increase in the number of triangles. Now we add 4 yellow modules to the same "corners" of the ship:

. In total, at this stage of the work, we got 55 modules in a row.

In the 6th and 7th series of the ship we store the number of modules. Those.just add 55 triangles. In parallel, we support the oval shape of the ship. To do this, you need to periodically carefully reduce the sides together. It is important to ensure that the figure does not "part" in other places. Therefore, monitor the process and hold the model. Note that the shape of the ship's nose must be more acute.

The eighth row is performed similarly to the 7th row. But in the 9th row we have our modules with a short base outwards. Due to this arrangement of elements, the shape of the ship will have a stronger structure:

In the 10th row on each side of the nose and stern, we place symmetrically on 8 triangles. We have these elements strictly between the modules of the previous row, not putting on the corners themselves. They need to be placed with pockets outward, and with a long base inside the ship. To form the nose and stern attach the modules in the usual way, the long base should be on the outside.

Now go to the design of the stern. We insert modules in the same way as on the sides of the ship, i.e.between the corners of the previous row. The long base must be outward.

For decor on the stern, you can make a small side of the modules in contrasting colors. To do this, you need to insert a module in each 2 neighboring triangle pockets( with the poke up):

Now we are going to form the nose of the ship. To do this, we define an extreme point of the nose and start symmetrical addition of modules. In the 11th row we must have 9 elements, in 12 - 6, and in the 13th row - only 3 corners. Continue the design of the nose edging of 22 modules contrast

color:

As the finishing touch, you can finish, as in the stern. Have a fantasy in decorating the nose of the ship:

Now begin the formation of the bottom of the ship. It will require about 138 modules. If you make a ship of the same size as mine, then follow me to build the day. If the sizes differ, then you will have to calculate the number of modules yourself, so that the bottom suits you in shape.

So, in the 1st row of the day we will have 3 modules, in 2m - 4, and in 3m row - 5. We need to increase the number of modules by 1 in each next row. When the number of modules reaches 8, you need to make 9 more rows without any additional increases. Note that in these 9 rows the number of modules should be interleaved: 8-7.This is necessary so that the edges of the bottom are even. In the last 6 rows, you need to reduce the elements. Those.in the 17th row we must have 7 modules, in 18m-6, etc. Continue until until in the 22nd row we have 1 corner left. The finished bottom should look like this:

Let's proceed to the most important attribute of the ship - the sail. To do this, prepare 252 modules. We start execution from 17 corners in 1m row. We continue the connection of the modules in the following 16 series with the alternation of the number of modules: 16-17.The principle of building a sail is the same as that of a flag. Starting with the 12th row, we do a reduction, ie we remove 1 module from each side of the sail. We subtract to the 16th row, in which we must have 12 modules, located a short base outward. The ready sail is slightly bent, giving it a more realistic shape:

As a mast, a wooden scoop is 20 cm long. It is best to glue it with a strip of paper in tone with the bottom of the ship. The mast needs to be inserted between the modules in the bottom of the ship. We got this kind of design:

Then we attach the sail to the mast. Note that the sail must rest on the ship's side, so try to find a more stable position. If the construction is not very stable, then use transparent glue to fix it.

And the final stage we will have the manufacture of a flag and portholes. The flag is obtained by nesting the modules into each other:

And to get the portholes, we need to first open the module, then bend the side edges back, and the top corner - forward. The internal pocket of the workpiece is opened and the edges are rounded:

We fix the portholes on board the ship:

Our ship is ready to go to its first round-the-world voyage:

I hope that the answer to the question: how to make origami boat master class helped to find. This model is quite difficult to execute, and perhaps you will have to spend a lot of time on it. But any activity with creativity does not take away your time, but only gives you moments of relaxation. By the way, in the eastern culture the ship is a symbol of success and prosperity.

To simplify the work with modular origami, I advise you to rely on video master classes. But for lack of it, I tried to fill my microscope with detailed photos describing the work. I really hope that my mk was useful and helped you to master a new level in the art of origami.
