  1. Now it was possible to proceed to the sheathing of the boardes and the stern of the hull. I started with the stern, in which there are holes, apparently playing the role of scuppers. Because I was not sure that I would be able to cut through these "windows" in the hornbeam planking qualitatively, then I decided to make a compositing design.
  2. Then came the turn of planking of the deck. I started with the central board and then I continued to cover the deck boards from the center to the sides.
  3. The deck of the boat has a rather noticeable bend. In addition, the nose is markedly elevated with respect to the stern.
  4. Then I drilled holes for wooden studs and glued together the plates that make up the upper and lower parts of the hull.
  5. So, two weeks ago, on the first day of my short vacation, I started this building. I started, as usual, with the manufacture of the base of the hull, which will be detachable at the waterline. First, I cut out the wooden plates, of which the hull will consist.
  6. Hello to all! Two weeks ago I started another small project in a bottle. This time it is a model of the pilot cutter Jolie Brise. This boat I like for a long time and now, finally, I "matured" for its construction. More or less suitable drawings of this boat, I never found. Found only the theoretical drawing of the hull and the general scheme of the sails. Also I found in the network a number of photos. Well, and a suitable bottle was found. A little of the history about Jolie Brise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolie_Brise
  7. Hi Daniel! Great progress! Best Regards! Igor.
  8. Hi Carl! Congratulations on completing the work! I do not think that building of the model in a bottle from the kit is easier than building from scratch. I already have a small collection of SIB building kits. I acquired them to study and, if possible, to learn something new, but I was very disappointed Best Regards! Igor.
  9. Now the building is almost completed. I'm going to put on the deck of a few bunches of firewood. And I need to come up anything with the stopper and the stand. And now you can see few total photos of the model
  10. Thank you, Patrick! Next, I installed a second lifeboat.
  11. The next phase - installation of boats. I started with the lifeboat of the starboard.
  12. Hi Piter, Bob, Lawrence, Mark, Patrick and all who LIKE this project! A lot of thanks for your words of support and approval! I appreciate your feedback! So, I continue... I could not cut some of the threads that were hard to reach areas, using a conventional tool. So I had to make one more tool and to use the way, that usually I do not like to use.
  13. After repairing the damages, I could begin to install fore-mast. It took me two tries to do it
