  1. Valeriy, I tip my hat to you. As always the highest quality posible and an outstanding mastery. My best regards.
  2. It’s all down the hill afterwards - I made ribs of a parrel, I oil-coated and pre-assembled it.
  3. Next, with a little tightness, we stick a workpiece on a toothpick, which is clamped in a cartridge, and process with a sandpaper, on one and then the other side to the desired condition. With a little practice the elements are practically of the same size.
  4. I have made parrels. I have made the parrel - trusses by myself. If anyone would find it interesting. During the working process I have tried several modes of making parrel trucks. Taking into consideration the size of the elements I found that the following mode was the best. I have grinded out a template, in my case D = 2,3 and 2,1 mm , I cut it in required sizes. Then I have drilled the holes (I haven't spent much time on the hands free tool, made it out of the things I had on hand, the mode is the same as when I drilled the holes in dead-eyes).
  5. Вопрос Ваш я понял. Мне непонятны два момента. Первый, - о какой шлюпке вы говорите? Второй, -почему вопрос поднят в разделе такелажа а не ранее ? И наконец, если речь идет о шлюпке « Гиацинта» : I think the time that would be necessary. And if we are talking about the saving of a life, in this case even longer. As we are talking about a navy sailor, who is not a VIP person to travel with the greatest comfort possible. I'm sure you agree with that. My best regards.
  6. My greetings, Sergei, I'm sorry, I didnt understand the context of the question?
  7. I made the studding sail yard too thick. After getting remarks from experienced Master - I remade them thinner, I hope now they have the right thickness.
  8. I made a winding on sailyards of the gall and the sail boom. I’ve installed studding sail yard.
  9. The minimum diameter of thread was 0,32mm that i got from the material i had, this was the one that I used for the ratlines. I binded using the simple pattern.
  10. Greetings, Rob Thank you so much. I have always had a profound respect for the modelists who work in a small scale. I think its a very special category of people. You are right, such a detailing is really on the verge of comrehension. It requires special vision, skills and instruments. My best regards.
  11. Thank you, dear Dave for such a high evaluation of my work. I was also studying on the works of such outstandings Masters Dmitriy Shevelev, Mihail Bezverhiy, Sergey Bykov, Igor Kapinos, Aleksey Baranov and many others, whose level of mastery is unattainable for me. But the attempt to reach even for a little their level of mastery gives the possibility to grow. You are right - if one has the feeling of dissatisfaction, then one has to try to remake the knot or the work, in some cases I had more than three of such attempts. My best regards, Alexander.
  12. Greetings, Mark. You're right. In fact, in the first version, the chain was longer, but sagging did not look very aesthetic and I removed one link. I would now remake this knot. Chain links needed to be made smaller - in that case everything would work out. BUT, in my defense, I can say that the length of the chain does not interfere with the turn of the control blade, I have checked that.
  13. Thank you very much, Gary, Yes, You are right, its sometimes hard to decide to do such remakings. But, I guess at that time I was in this kind of mood so I decided to remake. But at the end, You are right, remakings are hardly noticable to an unaided eye, and for many remains incomprehensible. Can be noticed and evaluated only by our colleagues - model makers. My best regards.
  14. Greetings, Andrey. I;m very glad to see You and Your amazing work on the forum. My best regards.
  15. Much to my regret I had to redo all the rigging, which was already installed, except for jackstay of foremast , which, as it turned out ,had the right winding on. I put a bit of tone on the turnbuckles of the shrouds, although to my point of view they looked better before. I won’t post many photos, as nothing had changed except for the winding on of the cable.
  16. After a very constructive critics regarding the direction of the winding, I spent 2 days on the making new ropes with the right winding. Alexander (Beliy) has explained really well the difference and the reasons for the established tradition, I quote: The rope of cabling winding is inweaved out of 3 ordinary ropes, and if those ropes are laid in a clockwise direction, than the rope of cabling can be made ONLY counter clock wise. The standard of winding was created for a reason, the ropes of two windings cannot be laced together, because they will unwind each other, and the the ropes winded counter clock wise dont hold the knots. That is the reason the running rigging is clock wise, and vangs, jackstays, anchor cable - counter clock wise. While I was winding the anchoring cable I clearly verified this rule - if winding is made in the wrong direction the component ropes will simply unwind.
