  1. Thank you Mike and Patrick! Yesterday I had began to create a piece of rock inside the bottle.
  2. Congratulations on the start of the build, Patrick! Maybe you want to populate the yacht crew and passengers? )) http://ru.aliexpress.com/store/product/100pc-1-200-scale-white-figure-for-Landscape-Train-Model-Scale-architectural-scenery/816579_807820443.html Best Regards! Igor.
  3. Thank you John and Mark! I'm even was embarrassed from all your words, the more that I am not quite finished this project. Mark, thank you for you wishes! What could be better than 1 month holiday? Of course, the vacation during 2 months! )) We're going to spend 3 weeks at the seaside and a few days in St. Petersburg. Best Regards! Igor.
  4. Hi Mike! Every time I read your new messages I admire by your patience and the thoroughness in this build! Best Regards! Igor.
  5. Oh, Mike, many thanks for your compliment! Maybe my other hobby helps me not to panic )) Best Regards! Igor. P.S. I already was told you early that I only student now. ))
  6. Thank you Patrick! I just added a little bit of CA on the crack. I hope this helps for a while. ))
  7. Hi Nils and Nigel! Thanks for the sympathy! I used CA. In the future, I'm going to make the rocks that hide the crevasse and additionally fix the fracture. Now I have some more ideases , but I'm going to implement them later, when I get back from vacation. ))
  8. This incident forced me to make adjustments to my plan of action. I had planned to put the model into the bottle, close the bottle the cork and on this to stop. But now I have to make a stand and come up with something for concealing and fixing crack.
  9. The next step - the making of the waves. And ... it's still happened ... It was a sad moment when I discovered a crack in one of the corners of the bottle. (( Resin really strongly have reduced its volume. I think there are two reasons for this failure - I filled the heated resin and I added too much hardener. ((
  10. Hi Bob, Mike, Michael and Nils! Many thanks for your good words and all LIKEs!!! Mike, of course I still have a long way to the title of master, and I am still only a student now )) Yes, Niels, you'll have the opportunity to see this process in my next posts)) So, I am continuing. On Friday evening, I once again checked all the details, I fixed some of the rigging and I prepared the lower part of the body for the placing in the bottle.
  11. "Sweetbrier, a 180-foot Iris or C-class tender, was built in Duluth Minnesota by the Marine Iron and Shipbuilding Company. Her keel was laid on 3 November 1943 and she was launched on 30 December 1943" Thank you Patrick! On spring I have contacted with Bernd Jocham and bought this set of drawings of "Sir Winston Churchill"
  12. Hi Patrick! I am not sure that it will be soon, because I have now the three projects in progress that I need to finish - ATLANTIC, RS 1 and LENA. But I collect materials for the building of two ships - Sir Winston Churchill and USCGC SWEETBRIER (WLB-405). Best Regards! Igor.
  13. Hi everyone! Many thanks for your interest to this mini project and all your LIKEs! The third sail:
  14. quote name="Omega1234" post="349856" timestamp="1443021130"] The zodiac was far easier than you'd think. Here's how - Beneath the waterline was a shallow v shaped hull onto which I glued plastic rods to simulate the rigid, but round inflatable sides of the hull. From there, I added the centre console and seat with the radar supports above the outboard motor at the rear. Hope this helps! Thank you Patrick! I think that at least for two of my prospective future projects I will need to make the zodiacs. Best Regards! Igor.
  15. WOW!!! Patrick you have carried the my thoughts about stand! And I still can not understand how you made the Zodiac! Bravo Patrick!!
  16. So, yesterday I was continuing to make a sail. The second sail: Best Regards! Igor.
  17. Thank you Nils and Bob! Nils, I built only several SIB about 15 years ago. Now I have only a couple of photos of my first SIB. The first of my SIBs: The second of my SIBs: But in January 2015 I returned to the making SIBs again with this model - http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/gallery/album/1020-noname-yacht-in-bottle/ Now I have 8 completed models and 4 in progress )) Best Regards! Igor.
  18. Hi Patrick! Yes, the needles from a syringe are a source of the tubes the smallest diameter. Usually I am using the needles with the diameter of 0.3 - 1 mm. Best Regards! Igor.
  19. Hi, Bob! I continue to get enjoy of the photos of your boat! Did you make the figure of lady? Best Regards! Igor
  20. Patrick, I used the needles from the syringe of different diameters. I cut short pieces and glued them on the ends of the boom. And every time I try to use the different ways of attaching the boom to the mast.
