KORTES

I ‘ve choosen the technology of Dmitriy Shevelev for the fabrication.

The second part was painted with desaturated bituminous varnish.

Sails.

No matter how much you study the experience of the Masters, you still make your own mistakes.

I tried to dye the fabric in a folk way, in the broth of onion peel. I liked the color, but  problems began later, when gluing. Thre was an unexpected reaction of the colored fabric and the glue MOMENT Carpenter. So the first set of fabric went to the bin.

Valeriy, I tip my hat to you. As always the highest  quality posible and  an outstanding mastery.

My best regards.

It’s all down the hill afterwards - I made ribs of a parrel, I oil-coated and  pre-assembled it.

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. 

 

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).

Dear Keith.

Your work inspires admiration.

My best regards.

Thank you, Keith,  for such warm words.

My best regards.

I apologize to the moderators, but I will ask a question in Russian: как долго сможет сидеть матрос на этой банке в этой шлюпке? Even the American understood... I ask a serious question, I had to work the oars for a long time, sometimes calluses appeared on the ***!

 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 greetings, Sergei,

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.

I made a winding on sailyards of the gall and the sail boom.  I’ve installed studding sail yard.

Thank you very much dear colleagues.

Winding on of the bowsprit and the outrigger.

I installed jack-yard and standing ropes.

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.

    Well Kortes, your work is quite a step above what most of us here can produce and it can make a lot of us feel somewhat inadequate.  On the other hand, work such as yours can only inspire us to try to do better. 

    I feel you about your desire to remake portions of your project that you are unhappy with as I find myself doing the same thing with my Phantom.  I have remade some of the ships deck houses several times, until I was happy with the results.  While there exists the popular notion with some people to “just get er done” as they say, I don’t subscribe to that school of thought at all.  As I often said at work, “Why does it seem that there is never enough time to get it done right, but always time to do it over?”

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.

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. 

I’ve made the winding of control blade.

 Thank you very much dear Keith.

I’ve installed the quarter boat in place.

What a difficult decision to make, but it would have troubled you every time you looked at the rigging.  I take my hat off to you for correcting what few people would have noticed.  This is just one of the many reasons why your model is so wonderful and you as a modeler are so excellent.  Well done Alexander.

Thank you very much, Gary,

Thank you very much Johann.

Greetings, Andrey.
