  1. Thank you, Bob and Lawrence! Yes, it was fun to try to make these chessboards. I used two different techniques to do this. Now I need to try to make sets of chess pieces. Best Regards! Igor.
  2. Yes, Bob! Sometimes it need to me for a little distraction Thank you, Nils! I also with anxiously and look forward this moment
  3. Many thanks, Kees! I still hope that I will can shove it in the bottle Best Regards! Igor.
  4. Hi, Bob! But I have started this project 1.5 year ago
  5. A-ha-ha, Patrick! "LENA" is one of the biggest of my SIBs, which I built
  6. Hi, Patrick! I am glad to hear you again! Many thanks! I would say that this model is a good school for me. I was able to check out a lot of my ideas, technical solutions and technologies. Of course, I could not avoid some mistakes, but I hope that the experience of this project will allow me to avoid them in the future. So, we go ahead I then installed the davits complete with the lifeboats and began compiling the assembly diagrams and marking of the ends of the rigging
  7. Installation of the foremast has not created any problems
  8. And, finally, I was able to proceed with the final assembly at the stand. Assembling was carried out in the same order in which it will be made later in the bottle. At this stage I revealed some mistakes that are likely to affect the assembly in the bottle, but ... something to alter it's too late Although, of course, I will try to fix some of them. For example, I'm going again attach ladder to the bridge and I will to lift up the lifeboats. So, first I installed the rear mast, the engine room and the bridge.
  9. Hi, Carl! Many thanks! The handrails in front part of the hull were broken off several times in the process of the work, because I glued them too early
  10. Then I laid anchor chains from the deck hawse through the windlass to the steam winch. They especially will not noticeable, but let them be
  11. I also added the waves in remote places of the bottle, to which had not got around and added a little "waviness" in the field of foam crests.
  12. Then finally were glued on the bridge the steering wheel, binnacle and negotiation pipes
  13. Next, I set in place, the steam winch and windlass
  14. Then came the turn of the installation of anchors
  15. Hi everyone! Many thanks for your interest to this log! Yes, the work went very slowly over the last two months, but still some progress has So I am pleased to share with you news on this project So, I set the handrails on the stern.I put off this step as long as possible, because very hard to keep them from being damaged during operation, when installed in the model
  16. Hi Patrick! Amazing work, just amazing! Best Regards! Igor.
  17. WOW, Jeff! It's just incredible! Bravo!
  18. Oh, many thanks, Carl! The SKY is my "first love" during the long time, but the SEA is only my dream...
  19. After the final drying silicone I started to imitate "waves" on the "water". Material - transparent acrylic gel. At the bank, he is white, but after drying it becomes transparent. What you can see in the photo was done in a couple of days and then it dried up a few days.
  20. Hi everuones! After another day, I filled and a third layer, reaching almost to the waterline. Of course, the final conclusions it is too early to do, but so far that this material gives the optimistic expectations regarding its use for the project "The Old Man and the Sea." Just I think of the pigment should be added even less.
  21. On next day I put in the bottle with the dried of the first layer "water" the underwater part of the hull, and propped her with the pieces of the dried silicone to align. Then I poured another thin layer of silicone. Tweezers placed to the hull is for fixing it at the time of drying of "water."
