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 - 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! It is not too small - its length is more than 40 mm )) Again my best wishes! Igor.

Many thanks Carl! Yes, I have to make a small pause for drying of sea )) I hope continue tomorrow. And now I am cutting the stand for of my other model ) Best Regards! Igor.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
