  1. Hi, I have introduced my self on here . As I said before, after many years, finally I have found some time to enjoy ship model building. Since I'm new in this hobby, I have decided to start with The American Bermuda Sloop "Jamaica". The Bermuda sloop is a type of fore-and-aft rigged sailing vessel developed on the islands of Bermuda in the 17th century. In its purest form, it is single-masted, though some ships with such rigging can be built with as many as three masts, which are also known as Schooners. Its original form had gaff rigging , but evolved to use what is now known as Bermuda rig, which had been used on smaller Bermudian boats since the early 17th century, making it the basis of nearly all modern sailing yachts. Although the Bermuda sloop is often described as a development of the narrower-beamed Jamaica sloop, which dates from the 1670s, the high, raked masts and triangular sails of the Bermuda rig are rooted in a tradition of Bermudian boat design dating from the earliest decades of the 17th century. (Taken from Wikipedia). Here in Serbia, it is quite difficult to find brand name ship model kits, so I have contacted shipbuilder's association "Kormilo" from Kraljevo to buy a kit. Guys, Milos and Marko, has founded the association in 1998 and after many years, decided to make kit completes, so builders from Serbia can find enough material and instructions to enjoy this hobby. Since I'm new and would like to improve my building ability, I will appreciate any comment from experienced builders. BUILD LOG #1 Before I started with a build, I have made building slip. I have improvised the toll using material that I have found at home. The building slip gave me the ability to start the building with the right angle on all axes. I have checked whether all bulkheads fit the keel and after that, each one is glued. Since this is my first wooden model build, I have added balsa support between three first and last bulkheads, which will make it planking easier for me. Also using the template from a ship plan I have made a deck and mount it on a hull. So far so good. Next is planking. Hopefully, I'll be lucky enough to do it well. Regards. M.
  2. This is one of my favorite builds. I've done two now and they are quick and easy. I probably spend 4 to 6 hours on it. If you want to impress some one with a neat gift this is a good one. As far as ships in bottles go the ship is incredibly easy. What is not easy about it is the scale. This is on the small side even as ships in bottles go. Any smaller and your putting them in flash light bulbs. (Yes that's been done.) As far as the log goes I want to try and explain every thing I can so this will be as much a how to as it is a log. If you have questions or even new ideas to try at this scale please ask and share. I'd like their to be a good amount of information in this log so any one that wants to try this style build has everything they need to do so. Step one selecting a bottle or in this case vial. Here's one I got from Michael's in a package of vials. It came with a couple of these and a bunch of others. This size has been great. It's about an inch long not counting the bottle neck. I measure the opening to see how much clearance I have. This one about a quarter inch. The most important measurement is the inside of the bottle. Typically tall ships are about as tall as they are long so with the bottle on it's side you have enough space forwards and back. So what I need to know is height. You can measure the outside and guess on the glass thickness or you can just measure the inside with a paint brush bristle. The paint brush will be used for masts and spars as well. This is a regular old paint brush I don't even remember where I got it. I have enough bristles though for a thousand ships so there's no worry about wasting any. I cut one off and grip the middle with some tweezers and insert it into the bottle so that the ends touch what will be the top and bottom. If it's too long it will bend. I pull it out and slowly cut it down until each end just touches the top and bottom. That will be the height. This bottle happens to be a little over a half inch tall inside.
