Amazing work as usual Igor, beautiful!  Your sails are incredible.  Could you explain how you got the seams on the sails?  I studied your pictures, but couldn't figure out how you used the black cloth to make the seams.

Hi Mike!
Thank you for your feedback! 
Sorry for my late answer - I was on vacation.
OK, I will show this process in more detail a little later.

Best Regards!
Igor.

Exquisite! What is the sail material?

Thank you, John!
I used the thin cotton cloth - percale.

Many thanks, Nils!

Hi Patrick!
Thank you for feedback!

Hi to all!
The work is slow, but, nevertheless, it is going
A few days ago I was compelled to make building berth. This time the rigging turns out to be more complicated than I did before.

Many thanks, Carl and Nils!
Yes, Karl, unfortunately it is so, but I will to know about these details
 

Hi Patrick!
Many thanks!

After that, I tried to set and the other two front sails

Then I completed the wiring of the running rigging of the first of the front sails

Then I made a couple backstays

Probably not, canoes were as large as 60 feet if scaled down to 30 inches I was basing that on 1/2 inch to a foot?

Hi John!
Do I correctly understood that your model will be 30 inches long?

She already looks like the real cutter, Igor. A wonderful little build

A lot of thanks, Carl!

Many thanks, Steve!

Incredible work, Nils!
I think that your model can be studied for hours, so that we can see all these details!
Congratulations!

Best Regards!
Igor.

Then I missed the mainstay through the racks of the lower front sail and tested it on.

Then I made a couple of belaying pin planks for the stern of the boat and installed them in their places. Then I tried to stretch a loop from the thread between the plank and the board. In the future, I plan to use such loops to guide rigging in hard-to-reach places inside the bottle

I believe this is the main reason that keeps me involved in the hobby, although I prefer to work at a larger scale this same principle holds, and the great thing is that so many of the ideas that get shared on this forum are transferable from scale to scale.

 

Michael

Yes, it is so, Michael!
Often it is necessary to seek a compromise between the size of the part, the authentic appearance, strength and the ability to use this part in the design, taking into account the subsequent assembly of the model in the bottle. And sometimes it seems that you have already reached a certain limit .... But then it turns out that a small change in the design or technology of making a part essentially pushes this limit

Good morning Michael and many thanks for your feedback!
Every time I come up with a way to do something new, I'm also not quite sure about the result. So I'm just trying to do it. Sometimes the result justifies expectations, but sometimes I have to look for another solution. But this, of course, is an interesting and fascinating process

Thank you, Patrick!

Carl, I buy the needles of different diameters in a medical goods store.

Then I wound a few skeins of rope with a simple device and hung them around the nagels

Then I decided to make the fife rail), on which the running ends of the gaff will be fixed. In the original, this is a kind of metal band with nests for nagels, but I decided to make this part easier, because All the same it will not be visible under to the skeins of the ropes.

Next, I made the hawse-holes for the anchor rope from the pieces of the medical needle and fixed them in place.
