Masting...

And one more small update...

And shrouds

Making futtock of shrouds

Making deadeyes and the first attempts to make ropes.

We can see the large bottle on one of the photos. I decided to try to do it 

Next step - making the mast.

Continuation of work with the hull of the boat.

Then I continued to work on the edges and the surface, so that the parts of the boat fit tightly together. Also I added intermediate frames and gunwale.

Then I glued the planks of boards to the frames, the stem and the ahterstern. 

Then I wrapped the parts of the template with a thin film. I also drew a line for the first plank of the boat board.

So, then I cut through the grooves for the frames. I made frames using double slats 0.5 mm thick. I stuck the frames only to the bottom plate of the above-water part of the hull.

Then I made the mold-template for making the hull of the boat.

Then I made the simple drawing using these photos.

Okay, so, uh I could not use my familiar technology of making the hull of the model for some of my future projects, so I decided to try another technology. For this, more year ago I decided to make a simple project just to learn and test this technology.
I think you remember how Jack Sparrow appears at the beginning of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". This is the moment I chose for my training project. 
First I made a few screenshots

Hey, everybody!
More than a year ago I started another project. 
Today it is almost finished, but I will tell you more about the construction process.

Best Regards!
Igor.

WOW! Amazing work, Nelson! My congrats!

Hello all.

Was wondering if anyone knows where to get mini black nails at a decent price in the U.S? I started to order some that I found at modelers Central for $3.75 p150 but the shipping was a crazy $20! NO WAY! I don’t have a hobby store near me that caters to our hobby unfortunately. I’ve heard of guys making their own but no idea how that works. I’ve got no problem buying some. Just not going to pay a ridiculous shipping and handling charge like MC wants. I need them for the Amati Viking ship I’m building. It came with brass nails but I’ve seen a build that used black and it looks a lot better . This model is 1:50 scale if that helps anything. Thank you.

Hello irishrover1970

Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to use brass wire. You can cut it into pieces of the right length, shape the hats of the nails with the file and then darken it with chemical fluids.

WOW, Patrick! One more amazing model!
My congrats!

Best Regards!
Igor.

WOW, Patrick!
Amazing collection!

 Thank you, Igor.  I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but I review your posts as inspiration to take my projects to a higher level! I have many new ideas and am excited to share them.   

Thank you, Josh!
I think the most important thing is not to be afraid to try to do something new!
Good luck and my best wishes!
