Mirabell61 got a reaction from mtaylor in J-class Yacht by IgorSky - FINISHED - scale 1/1000 - BOTTLE
what a pitty Igor,
can imagine what you felt...but the saying says "no risk no fun"...
was that the end of your beautiful Flacon I lked so much,..... do you have another suitable one for the next Trial, and resin with less hardener?

The next step - the making of the waves.
And ... it's still happened ... It was a sad moment when I discovered a crack in one of the corners of the bottle. ((
Resin really strongly have reduced its volume. I think there are two reasons for this failure - I filled the heated resin and I added too much hardener. ((

Stunning work Igor,
hope all goes well when the Magic Moment Comes (glueing down the hull layers in the flacon and hoisting the mast with the pre-rigged sails). Would love to look over your shoulder that Moment.....

Hi again
Thank you all for the visits and so many likes!
@Patrick
... thanks a lot and cheers!
@Paul
... thanks a lot, always greatly appreciated!
A special case of the planking we'll find in the area of the wide groove of the openings (they will be later equipped with an elastic gasket). There I have a “flying“ plank without bearing - it's hanging in the air.
The fix of this problem shows two planks coupled on the underside (s. below).
Best regards,
Mike

Mirabell61 reacted to flyer in HMS Pickle by flyer - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 - my interpretation
Initially I joined the hatch frame corners with 45° joints. I thought a decent carpenter would work like this. Then I found in the clever books that a completely and incidentally simpler solution was used which also took the strain on those corners better.
So much for avoiding the easy way.
Whom the bell tolls...
As said before I constructed a belfry according to an illustration in 'The Global Schooner'. Sides and top were constructed with doubled and sanded 5x1mm walnut strips. The bell is from the shop and the small parts came from the kit.
Most of the furniture on the deck is only provisionally fixed. Before putting it permanently in place I will have to go over the rigging plans to find out which additional belaying points I will have to construct for the running rigging with sails set.
45° joint. Not so easy to make
joint according to several clever books
finishing work on the belfry
a simple but pleasing construction

A lovely model Patrick,
guess you can be proud that you built and shaped her exactly as you had in mind before your eyes, the Moment you began the first sequences of this Beauty.
well done !!

Hi Patrick, Greg, Nils ...
... as well as everyone else who visit “Colin Archer’s“ shipyard. Thanks for all of your feedback, comments and likes. Always greatly appreciated!
@Greg
... yes, I'm looking forward to the caulking process and the subsequent scraping of the deck toward the final shape - to this, you finde a preview of the making of in Log #76.
Best regards,
Mike

... once more a little update ...
... after some planks, I have to cut through the cockpit frames. This way, I must later milling out only to a depth of 3 mm (dimenson of planks) for finishing the cockpit opening ...
... same process for the front opening ...
... and then the planks with day lights.
Best regards,
Mike

Hi again
Thanks everyone who visited the shipyard, and thanks for all the likes.
@Carl
Many thanks for such a great feedback! ...
“... well done ...“ – thanks a lot! ...
“... something to remember ...“ – that would be a pleasure ...
“... clever ...“ – maybe a little bit ...
“... master mind ...“ – there are also other opinions – to this you have to interviewing my admiral ...
The next thing that I must prepare are the double-width planks with the deck day-lights. To this I used a milling guide to obtain easily a high repeat accuracy (s. below) ...
Location of the double-width planks
Some experiments
Making of the milling guide
Get ready for milling

Mirabell61 got a reaction from Red in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Build log part 20
putting the hull to the stand first time and marking / checking the waterline
Nils
due to the length a 3-pedestal stand is adequate
the brass pedestals are from candle holders, drilled with 4 mm centerholes for the three M4 spindles that are anchored securely in the ship`s "backbone"
the waterline has been marked with a soft pencil, all around
