Yes, Patrick, I understood too that very difficult to represent the shading on the sail in such small scale. I tried to apply the shading with the pencil on a film about which I spoke earlier, but found that the pencil 5H scratched a covering. Now I try different options - for example, to use hairspray. I will tell later that turned out. By the way, I used the hair dryer of my wife to smooth some folds on this film. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi everuone! Today I completted doing the support. I tried to think up something, but could make only this. Now it is time to start to try to make the sea. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Bob, Many thanks for this interesting information! I will try to find these magazines. I have the bottle with hollow stopper. The stopper has an opening of 6 mm. But I didn't solve, as I will use it. In the process of construction of this model it became interesting to me to construct other model of this yacht in bigger scale. Perhaps I will return to it later. Best Regards! Igor.

Many thanks Bob, Your opinion is also important for me, as the opinion of the captain Slocum! Best Regards! Igor.

Thanks Mike! Yes, I am planning to try to add the sea. I think to use epoxy and acrilic gel. Best Regards1 Igor.

Hi Patrick, I was going to use other bottle, but a few days ago to me presented this and I decided to use it. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Mark, Yes, the biggest problem to keep these small details. They try to disappear every second. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick, Thanks for compliment! I think that it isn't my talent, but modern photoequipment. My camera does everything instead me. I only press the button Best Regards! Igor.

No, Patrick, I still didn't even turn on my lathe. I use the usual minidrill. Look at the photos below - in some minutes I made a bottle for an example. It is really simple. Best Regards! Igor.

Thanks Anton! Yes, I saw this way in your log. But I do not understend as it works. Best Regards! Igor.

Thanks Patrick and Matt! Today I think as to make windows in the schooner case. I was going to paste the PE details, but the result wasn't pleasant to me. I tried to make them of the thin tube. I used a needle from a syringe with a diameter of 0,6 mm and I inserted the parts of the tube into openings. Perhaps someone can offer other ways? Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick and Mark, Thanks for good works! Mark, it was actually very simply made. I used Proxxon, a bamboo toothpick, a scalpel with the blade 11 and an emery paper, then I varnished a bottle and I painted a stopper. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick, I painted fabric sideways of the sail and then stretched these painted parts of threads on the sail. I thought that the small bottle of brandy won't be superfluous Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Leo-zd, Great advice! How could I forget about this kind of paper? How did you do the seams? It's like a thread with glue. 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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
