I continue to work with this project )
Making of the sea

Herzlichen Dank Nils! )

Now we have to make cork, to install the small boat and to close the lid.

And voila - now this model is completed )
Best Regards!

The next step - making stand
 

Hi to all!
So now I went back to this project. ))

I decided to insert a small boat under the cover too. ))

Hi to all!

Many thanks Mike, Patrick, Al, Mark, Carl, Nigel, Piet, Cees and all who was interested in this project.
I appreciate your support and feedback!
Vacation is a good time to return to my old projects also ))
And I hope you will enjoy new updates in my other projects.
Best Regards!
Igor.

Many thanks to ALL for your comments and LIKES!

Today this project was completed )

Best Regards!
Igor.

Excellent work! Congratulations, Vaddoc!

Hi Patrick!
I do not remember if I wrote earlier about this. But some time ago I bought on Ali-express a set of the figures 8-9 mm

There have also been painted figurines

Many thanks Patrick, Carl and all who LIKE this project! )
Since yesterday evening I have not moved on ... There are some problems with the rigging of the mainmast. And I try to solve them))

So ... this moment has come. ))
I have installed and glued in place upper part of the hull, I set the foremast, but now remains the most difficult part - I have to install the main-mast and pull all the rigging )

What scale you need?

Wow, Igor. As if the J Class yacht were not beautiful enough by itself.....That tiny addition in the cork makes the bottle more unique. I would only erase that branding letters from the bottle. Maybe polish with Dremel?

Hi Harry! 

Thank you for your comment!!

I started to make a stand, and it will close the inscription.

Best Regards!

Igor.

Bravo Patrick!
Do not you think to  fill up staff vacancies this yacht the crew and guests? )

Best Regards!
Igor.

Thank you Patrick! )

Just as pretty as your builds Igor!!!

Many thanks Carl! )

Beautiful workmanship, Igor. Well done on pulling these stands together. I especially like the name plates.

 

How'd you do the lettering?

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thank you Patrick!

I have used Proxxon and flexible shaft - 

​

​

So work with this project continues too))

Finally I got a chance to finish the stand for this model. )

Great Build looking forward to seeing it in the bottle.

 

Al

Thank you Al!

I hope that soon. Now I'm waiting when the waves of the sea will dry. )

I had a feeling you were using the mast recess.  Your drawing is really helpful to envision how the mast can lay flat on the deck and not be constrained by the standing rigging.  I'm also building a schooner, and am thinking about how to fold the masts down.  I wanted to avoid the look of using a hinge.  Also, the masts are so tall on my ship that I will have a hard time getting the ship in my bottle - the bottle is an upright bottle, and the overall length of the ship if I folded the masts towards the stern would be too long to turn the ship in the bottle (if that makes sense).

One more question if you do not mind - do you ever fold the masts forward towards the bow?  Or do you always fold them back towards the stern?

For the deadeyes, yes, those are the items I was referring to.  They look really nice, and structurally strong to keep the standing rigging taut.

Hi Mike!

So I am ready to continue))

Deadeyes... In this case, I used the photo-etched parts.

But this is only one of the possible options. It is always possible to come up with something else, depending on need.

For example, in this case I made them from a wire of 0.15 mm diameter -

do you ever fold the masts forward towards the bow?  Or do you always fold them back towards the stern?

I think that it does not really matter. I stack the mast, depending on the circumstances. In this case, this option has been easier.

Mainmast... In this case, I'm going to use another method. The deck has an opening for the mast. The mast will be placed in the bottle separately from the yacht.

I want to test this method for my other project.

I am ready to answer other questions, if it will be necessary for you.

Best Regards!

Igor.

Many thanks Mark, Piet, Daniel and to all who LIKE this little project!

Piet, I use an epoxy resin with the addition of a color pigment for the production of sea bases in all of my projects. In addition, I use white acrylic paint to simulate foam and transparent acrylic gel to simulate waves.

The whole process of making the sea looks so: epoxy - a little white paint - gel - a little white paint - a little gel.

This morning I put the first portion of the gel, and now it dries.

OK Mike! I am glad that this information can help you.

I will try to give other answers tomorrow. I'm going to talk about the second method, too.

Best REgards!

Igor.

Hi Mike!

Thank you for your feedback!!

Now I will try to answer your questions (if my English will allow me it to do well enough )

I'm going to use 2 ways for install the masts.

Foremast equipped with standing rigging, but its lower end is not fixed to the deck. There is a small recess in the deck for the mast's lower end.

Then I'll just push the lower end of the mast and the mast is deepening as I need to get up.

Please, look at this picture

Are these small parts the deadeyes? (see photo, please)

Thank you Patrick! )
