KORTES

Тhank you very much .

Wonderful work.

I have gone back to square one.

After consideration, I decided to glue using PVA glue. For several reasons - cyanoacrylate glue, even gel, binds very fastly, and I was afraid that the pin will be fastened sooner than it enters fully, on its full depth. The second reason is that once the cyanoacrylate glue is binded is gets very fragile and the junction may crack even at a slight bend. PVA glue is more flexible even after drying, and if there are few gashes on the pin it will hold tightly and more so as the binding time is long enough it allows to put the piece right in place. There’s only one thing bothering me - how much time does it take to bind inside the wood? Perhaps it would be better if i heat up the place where the pin is set?

My best regards.

I made a device for the axial drilling. I’ve managed to maintain a coaxial alignment. A pin is made from a nail.

Not a very nice thing to see....

It looks as if the glue failed between two parts. Hope your replacement will be a bit stronger.

There was a small rounded cut in this palce, so that when painting the line dividing the colors was clearly difined.

What happened?

My hand had accidentaly got caught on the assembled  fore-tompast stay. The outrigger remained in place , but the topmast didn't..

It's an unbearable loss. An outstanding Master and enthusiast passed away.

Its good that I have made the topmast dismountable, just like on a real schooner. I haven't had any problems with the dismantlement.

The knot has been disassembled.

Now I understand the captain who loses the mast on the final stage of the regatta. Probably every modelist faces this kind of fail.

Wonderful work .

Tung oil.

And I also had to wind up the threads so they would match the scale, using the tool for winding cable.

Thank you very much, Johann.

I took photos of some parts of   the reeved rigging, while the sails haven’t covered it. Some ropes haven’t been covered yet.

The anchors are being tied and set in place.

I'm very grateful to you, dear colleagues, for you interest in my work, reviews and kind words.

It’s ready for the blackening.

The movable stock, for lack of a lathe, was sharpened with a drill. The ending thickenings were soldered with a further refinements.

The paws were soldered with an ordinary solder,using acid, however, previously, it was necessary to heat up the horns and paws with a burner.

My greetings, dear colleagues,

I Submit for Your judgement anchors.
I never did the casting, and after talking to my colleagues I realized that in order to obtain the desired result, among other things you need to get some practice
,through a system of trial and error for which time is needed.

Therefore, after weighing everything, I decided to just cut the anchors, for the lack of brass, I used 3mm iron sheet. I had to make 4 pieces, taking my time I spent  days on it. I used a cutting wheel, files, broaching file, a drill, of course, and
the final stage a micro-drill.

Dear Colleagues, thank you very much for your kind words.  
 

My greetings, dear colleagues,

My work on the sails is coming to an end. After a series of trial and error I got almost two sets of sails. I present the final version. Material - cambric, painted with artistic oil paint diluted in white spirit.

For the moment all that is left is to make a reef-band.
