Colin Archer by IgorSky - FINISHED - scale 1/230 - BOTTLE - Lifeboat RS1


Recommended Posts

Hi Igor

 

I'm sorry, I'm late with my support. Unfortunately I have created up to now still no plans to this topic, but here I send you a few pictures of "Stavanger's" winch, which is almost similar to "Colin Archers's" winch.

 

As you have already surmised, she is probably slightly too big (but little, appreciated 10 to 15%), but let me say, that I like your small winch - top craftsmanship!  :) 

 

Best regards.

Mike

Hi Bob,
Yes, it is true!
So, my today's attempts to make the deck houses:

First they were too big -

And I was forced to do them again -

Bob, I tried to build boats of different sizes, but I could not place them of all in the bottles. I think Dimitris will may not worry about this :)

Hi Mike!

A lot of thanks for these photos! Yes, it seems my winch a little bit similar on real winch ... :)  I think to try to blacken her tomorrow. And I can not figure out what it is (see photo) This is reminiscent to me of the exhaust pipe. O, it seems the winch is behind the mast?

That probably a really large match, right? Something on the order of a 50 year old tree trunk?    :D  :D :D    You seriously make my jaw hit the floor with your details.

Thanks Carl, Patrick and Mark and all for your likes and comments!

 

In fact, this construction is very simple and consists of only three parts. I used the brass tube with the diameter of 0.8 mm, the brass wire with the diameter of 0.4 mm and the thin strip of brass that bent in a corner.

Yes, Carl, I agree. Large scale gives the opportunity to make more of the details.

Patrick, honestly, without an increase in these parts and I myself can not see well them. My wife asks me why I do these small parts if they are not well visible.But all I can say - this is what I'm doing them for yourself, to know that they are there :)

Mark, I would love to find couple of matches of this size, for example, from pears, boxwood or hornbeam :) :) :)

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Igor

 

I'm exactly like that as well. I often wonder why I love to build the internals of the ships that I build, even though it can't be seen easily. I guess It's like you've said...because I'd like to know they're there.

 

Keep up the great work!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thanks Carl! 
The first option of the winch will be in the box with garbage :) 

Yes, I have somewhere the box of matches for the fireplace, but  usually I am using a different match for my photosYes, I have somewhere the box of matches for the fireplace, but  usually I am using a different match for my photos - image.jpg:)

Hi Igor

 

Ok, ok, ok....I'm really speechless now. How big is the match? It's amazing how easily the eye can be tricked into thinking the match is a normal sized match....joking of course!!!!

 

Seriously nice work, Igor. I still don't know how you do it!

 

I hope you're going to make good use of the first winch. Maybe you could build a bigger version of the RS1 and put the bigger winch on that one?

 

Cheers

And one more today's small update - preparation for the mast. And just at the second attempt :)

 

Best Regards!

Igor.
