    Many thanks, GrandpaPhil!

    This project is now complete...

    Hi Pete! Yes, I use bamboo for masts and spars in almost all my projects, with a few exceptions. They're just bamboo toothpicks. I treat them with sandpaper using a borax machine. But you can't overheat the bamboo. I usually print an electronic drawing in the size I need. I use a steel medical needle to make these parts

    Many thanks. GrandpaPhil, Pete and Mark! That's my third slipway. This device really makes the job easier. Such small and short projects are sometimes necessary for me to distract myself and test some new technologies. Beat Regards! Igor.

    And made "the waves" on the surface of "the sea"
  7. IgorSky
    Then I added a couple drops of "sea"
  8. IgorSky
    Then I put the leeboards on the sides of the boat
  9. IgorSky
    Then I placed the bottle on another slipway, pulled out all the gear of the standing and running rigging, fixed their CA, cut off the ends and set the flag in the stern.

    Then I put the mast in her place

    Then I took the model off the slipway and stuffed it all into a bottle, applying some silicone sealant to the bottom of the bottle beforehand. I placed the boat's hull diagonally and left it to dry.

    I made thinner rigging yarns, made new stay ropes, finished the running rigging, added the tiller, the flag on the bowsprit, painted the underwater part with copper and reassembled the whole structure on the slipway

    I put a model on the slipway and... I decided that there would be no deadeyes in this this time...
  14. IgorSky
    Then, finally, I made a little slipway for my perfume projects
  15. IgorSky
    Then I made sails
  16. IgorSky
    Then I continued my sad experiments with the deadeyes
  17. IgorSky
    Then I drew the decor on the transom
  18. IgorSky
    Next step - bowsprit
  19. IgorSky
    Next step - bowsprit
  20. IgorSky
    Then I made the mast and installed the gunwales.
  21. IgorSky
    At the same time, I've been trying to make the deadeyes...
  22. IgorSky
    Then I drew an ornament on the sides of the boat
  23. IgorSky
    Then I continued to work with the interior of the boat
  24. IgorSky
    Hi to all! One more of my small and short projects. You can read the story of this boat HERE So, first, I made the basis of the boat's hull.

    Welcome, Niallmhor! Now you're still building ships in bottles? 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.
