    I do not know how accurate is this information, I only read its in a group of friends Captain Slocum: "Member Ole R. Börgdahl wrote to me and asked me if I knew what had become of Captain Slocum back in 1909. Although it has been a mystery for many years, I am pleased to provide the following update, thanks to new evidence provided by the same adventurous anthropologists and forensic archaeologists who have been busily on the trail of the lost aviator, Amelia Earhart: "Dear Ole:...As for what happened to Slocum in 1909, he was presumed lost at sea. He sailed south as he did every year, late in the season, with the goal of sailing up the Amazon to its source, or something like that, and was never seen or heard from again as far as we know. At least until a couple of years ago, when new evidence indicates that Slocum did indeed sail up into the wilds of the Amazon to nearly its headwaters. He beached his old boat SPRAY, and fell in with a small tribe of Amazonian natives, soon assembling a harem of 12 native, nubile young wives, and fathering a whopping brood 16 kids, 38 grandchildren, and 97 great-grandchildren before passing on at the ripe old age of 105. The village has grown, and most of Slocum’s progeny grew up and went to sea in the Brazilian Merchant Marine. You can usually tell his offspring; their skin is a tad lighter, they begin growing half-beards before age 5, and love ‘stewed onions’ from infancy onward; none however have ever been able to learn to swim. That’s as much as we know at this point."

    Many thanks Patrick! It seems to that way Captain Slocum went into his last journey...

    Bravo, Patrick! You took so much speed that I believe to see the finished model in a couple of weekends! Best Regards! Igor.
  8. IgorSky
    Now the model is completed

    Many thanks, Patrick! You will not believe how easy it was made the second winch. A little later I'll try to make another to show that it is simple.

    Hi Mike, I have used the transparent acrylic gel for the deck lights. Next small update. Best Regards! Igor.

    Hi Patrick, Mike, Pete, Mark, Bob and all who are interested in this little project! A lot of thanks for likes and good words! I'm really flattered by the your compliments! I think that each of you can make the same and I'm sure in that when I look in your's logs! And one more today's small update - preparation for the mast. And just at the second attempt Best Regards! Igor.

    Current state Thanks Carl! The first option of the winch will be in the box with garbage Yes, I have somewhere the box of matches for the fireplace, but usually I am using a different match for my photosYes, I have somewhere the box of matches for the fireplace, but usually I am using a different match for my photos -

    Hi everyone, Today I have done the second version of the winch.
  15. IgorSky
    Thanks Carl, Patrick and Mark and all for your likes and comments! In fact, this construction is very simple and consists of only three parts. I used the brass tube with the diameter of 0.8 mm, the brass wire with the diameter of 0.4 mm and the thin strip of brass that bent in a corner. Yes, Carl, I agree. Large scale gives the opportunity to make more of the details. Patrick, honestly, without an increase in these parts and I myself can not see well them. My wife asks me why I do these small parts if they are not well visible.But all I can say - this is what I'm doing them for yourself, to know that they are there Mark, I would love to find couple of matches of this size, for example, from pears, boxwood or hornbeam :) Best Regards! Igor.

  19. IgorSky
    Many thanks for this photo, Mike! Yeah, now I got some answers! And I will have the opportunity to try use the Lawrence's experience in the making of the signal lights Patrick, the large boats I made it just to try as it work. 2 smallest boats are for Atlantic Best Regards! Igor.

    I had not thought of that. Yes, I should to do this chimney of the furnace. Thanks, Mike!

    Hi Mike! A lot of thanks for these photos! Yes, it seems my winch a little bit similar on real winch ... I think to try to blacken her tomorrow. And I can not figure out what it is (see photo) This is reminiscent to me of the exhaust pipe. O, it seems the winch is behind the mast?
  22. IgorSky
    Hi Bob, Yes, it is true! So, my today's attempts to make the deck houses: First they were too big - And I was forced to do them again - Bob, I tried to build boats of different sizes, but I could not place them of all in the bottles. I think Dimitris will may not worry about this Best Regards! Igor.
  23. IgorSky
    Hi Dimitris, Thank you for your confidence! What sizes you need the boats ? I am ready to help make them from 2 to 20 mm :) Best Regards! Igor.
  24. IgorSky
    Hi Patrick, Thanks for support! I am making the deck's houses now. I think it need to finish all deck detailes and then to see as they looks together. Best Regards! Igor.

    Hi everyone! Many thanks for support and your interest to this project. Today's morning update - one more winch. Now for the RS-1 Unfortunately I do not have the reliable drawing of this winch, so I trying to do something similar and appropriate size. I have some doubts about the size. It seems it's a bit big for this boat. 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.
