Hi Patrick, I tried to make the Cup for an interior of your yacht, but I think, I need to practise still :) Best Regards! Igor.
-
I assume that I will place the hull of this model in a bottle without masts. Then I will establish masts serially. But it is my assumptions since I didn't make the project of installation of masts and conducting of a rigging yet. And following the aforesaid I think that I will have to establish masts by means of pins. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Mike, Unfortunately, I have no this book too, but I read article about lifeboats by Colin Archer in the magazine "Boat and Yacht" and there was a reference with two drawings from this book - http://lib.sportedu.ru/Mirrors/Www.katera.ru/172/172_10.htmlhttp://lib.sportedu.ru/Mirrors/Www.katera.ru/172/172_10.html Best Regards!

Hi Patrick, Yes,Yes, I tried to make a mast to check some constructive methods. On the photo you can see: 1. the heel of the mast with the diameter from 1 to 0,6 mm. I used a bamboo for it because a bamboo stronger than a usual tree and I will need to drill some bores in a mast which will reduce its strength. 2. cross element for installation of additional guys (it seems is called in English the crosspiece , but I am not sure). I used a medical needle with a diameter of 0,4 mm. A little later I will heat it that metall became soft. 3. boring bit with a diameter of 0,3 mm. 4. bamboo toothpick. I have no holder for such boring bit therefore I made a bore in the bamboo toothpick with a diameter of 0,5 mm and pasted a boring bit in a bore. Thus I received the manual tool. 5. boring bit with a diameter of 0,5 mm So I made a bore with a diameter of 0,3 mm and expanded it by means of the sharp end of a medical needle. My following task to try to stretch 2 thin threads through a needle. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Michael, A lot of thanks for good words! Sometimes these so tiny details that I almost don't see them. And the most important - them it is impossible to leave without supervision because they aim to be lost somewhere )) Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Bob, Welcome to a board, captain! I think your real place at a steering wheel, of course. )) Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Mike, I expect continuation of your construction. And incidentally I saw the drawing of RS from the book by Tor Borch Sannes, “Batbyggeren Colin Archer”, Norsk Maritimt Forlag, 1984 Best Regards! Igor.
-
Yes, Patrick, I have the same problem. I come to despair when I see parts of my models in big increase. But I am consoled by that fact that other audience doesn't see these details in big increase :) Good weekend! Igor.

Hi Bob, If I found a bottle of such size and placed in it a schooner of such size, on this photo I would stand on the deck :) Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick, It is excellent! OK, I will try to think up something still. For example, let's imagine that it is the yacht in 1935 and in its saloon there is a Cup of America won in 1934 :) I incidentally found couple of photo of the last replica Rainbow: Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Patrick, It is magnificent! Perhaps, to add to the yacht interior some pictures and a photos on walls? )) Best Regards! Igor.

Is there a better #11 blade handle
IgorSky replied to roach101761's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I use scalpel handles and scalpel blades within long time. -

Hi Nenad, I think you can look at the photo etched or laser cut details. For example or Best Regards! Igor.- 4,151 replies

Railings... I tried two options, possible for me, - from a thin wire and with application of photoetched details for models in scale 1:700. I think that on the model I will use the second option. But I think to add to photoetched details of the racks from a wire.

Hi Matija, A lot of thanks for a compliment! I often think that I already reached a limit too, but then I try to use other materials, other tools, other technologies and it appears that I was mistaken .

Small progress today. For the boat I need to make a windshield. I used for this purpose thin transparent plastic and a brass wire with a diameter of 0,15 mm. Now I can establish a steering wheel and a windshield on the boat, to compare the new boat with old and to try to set it on the deck.
-
For the first big boat I made a steering wheel (a big steering wheel:)). For the second small boat I tried to make the small steering wheel. I used a brass wire 0,15 mm thick and a boring bit with the diameter of 0,5 mm.

Hi Patrick, Thanks for good words! I yet not absolutely finished the build the build of the deckhouse. It is required to establish windows, to complete brass lattices at light windows and so forth. But now I continue to build the new boat:
-
My first attempt to make the boat for the ATLANTIC appeared not absolutely successful. The boat turned out too big therefore I decided to make it again.
-
Hi, everybody! I continue construction the first of deck superstructures Also I start doing the second of them
-
Thanks Patrick! Now came time for production of small details. Small details sometimes demand a lot of time for considering and production, but progress in these cases is almost imperceptible. )) Bets 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.
