Well done, Igor!

Thank you Patrick!

Well, general views as of today

But so looks the forward sails and them rigging

So now it looks stern parts of the yacht with temporary rigging

You can find some in my gallery here in MSW. Just follow the links to my gallery in my profile. Thanks for your interest!

Many thanks Harry!

The idea of posting rigging boom was born suddenly for me. Feature of "bottle" modeling is that it should be possible disassembly and rigging before placing the model in a bottle and reassemble all we have made before inside the bottle.

In this project, I am going to put into bottle the hull of the model piece by piece, and then later install the mast and pull the rigging.

Then I continued to work with the front sails. Some time ago I cut a lot of rings of thin wire. I used some of them to simulate the eyelets, and the rest I decided to use for the simulation of small rings, which sails are attached to the front of the forestay.

Now some updates in this project.

Firstly, I finally fixed the mainsail and cut off any excess threads.

Many thanks Mike. Patrick, Mark, Harry and and all who are interested in this project!

I really appreciate your comments and feedback!

Now I will try to answer you and tell you about new updates.

Are those blocks wood?

No, Mike, these blocks I make using glue. I tie the threads in knot and add a small drop of glue to the knot. Please, look at this photo:

Just our of curiosity, how will you step the masts into the hull? It doesn't look like you are using a hinge - are you using a string from the bottom of the mast through the bottom of the hull? I'm wondering because I'm doing a similar ship in an upright bottle, but still trying to figure out how to step the masts as I would prefer to avoid using a hinge.

In this project, I do not use the loops, hinges or other similar tricks. I am going to put the mast into the bottle separately from the hull. There is a hole in the deck for the mast -

Very nice work on those 'blocks'. Once again, you look like you're doing a top job on some pretty tricky bits and pieces.

Patrick, I'm trying to find a simple ways to solve many problems. Sometimes I do it , but sometimes not

And those tiny blocks are incredible.

Oh, Mark, these blocks are very easy to do, but as a result they look pretty good, especially since very few people will be able to see them inside the bottle

Your Endeavour came out fantastic, much nicer than mine with all that details and the clean work. Only the stern is a little bit too "round and bulky" for my taste. When I built mine I used the same plans you did which aren`t the clearest. I tried to make the hull in "plank on frame technic" which was a real thrill in that scale of 1:500. Looking forward to see yours bottled.

Oh, thank you my old frend Harry!

I would like to clarify that this model can not be called as model of the Endeavour. The fact that in the beginning of this building I have changed ratio of the her hull. As I said, I made this hull at the end of 2014, but then I did not like this resultat. So I did not continue the construction in that time. Now I decided to finish it, to test the new material for the manufacture of the sea and some of my ideas.

Yes, I use еруыу drawings of the yacht Endeavour to make of deckhouses, some elements and sail, but I can not call it as the yacht Endeavour

Harry, can I look at the photos of your model of Endeavour?

Awesome Igor I love it!

Thank you Jeff!

Stunning Igor ...

Many thanks Carl!

Hi everyone!

Here is the next small update - guys with "blocks"

Hi Daniel!
She looks very nice! What size is this bottle?

Amazing, Patrick! Just amazing!

That foremost sail is interesting. I'm not sure I've seen a sail like that before. She's looking great Igor.

Hi Daniel!

I used the plans of the yacht ENDEAVOUR for making the sails

Best Regards!

Igor.

Many thanks Patrick!

I think the scale of 1 to 300 is not such and tiny

And again, fitting of the sails on the yacht.

I then attached the sail to the mast

Once with eyelets were finished, I once again painted the sails with a mixture of water diluted white glue and white acrylic.

I'm pondering on entering an Igor instruction class. You've got so much to teach ... brilliant

Many thanks Carl!

But I also continue to learn. This model has become my testing ground for the testing new ideas and technologies

During the last weekend I was continuing to work with sails.

At first I have glued grommets using CA. But it was not the good idea.

Then I tried to use Titebond II.

Then I have drilled holes.

Great work, Daniel! Congrats!

Thank you Patrick!

Yes, I use the vice for this work.

I hope you're going well.  Have a great weekend!

Many thanks Patrick!

And the same for you and your family too!

Hi everyone!

Here is the small update - I am continuing to make the sails

Best Regards!

Igor.

Great job, Patrick!
