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

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

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

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?

... It is the chimney of the furnace.

I had not thought of that. Yes, I should to do this chimney of the furnace. Thanks, Mike!

Hi Igor

 

Really nice work! I especially love the way it's all coming together into another tiny masterpiece. The ships boats you've built were also very nice. Which ship do they belong to, out of interest?

 

Cheers

Hi Igor

 

... here is a great model photo (RS1, Norsk Maritime Museum, Oslo) - perhaps helpful for the deck layout.

 

best regards.

[IgorSky]

Many thanks for this photo, Mike! 
Yeah, now I got some answers!
And I will have the opportunity to try use the Lawrence's experience  in the making of the signal lights

Patrick, the large boats I made it just to try as it work.  2 smallest boats are for Atlantic

Best Regards!

Igor.

Next small update - I try to make the light windows in the deck

Thanks Pete and all who put on the button Like for your interest to this project!

 

The smal, very smal today's progress:

 

Best Regards!

Very, very nice, Igor!

[IgorSky]

After lot of attempts to make running lights...

I'm glad you are working on a somewhat larger scale than your last bottled ship ...

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

My eyes see them, but, my brain refuses to believe!!!

 

Seriously good miniature stuff!

 

Cheers

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

[IgorSky]

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have done the second version of the winch.

[Mirabell61]

amazing Details Igor,

 

very nice looking

 

Nils

[IgorSky]

Thanks Nils!

[cog]

bit sloppy that right one ... I know we used to have matches of 40 cm long, to use to light the oven or the wood stove ... you are using those right ...

 

Very, very, very B E A U tiful work Igor

[IgorSky]

Current state

 

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 -

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

Hi Igor

 

As you do that! - simply inconceivable! 

 

Are the deck lights filled with resin?

 

Best regards.

Mike

Hi Patrick, Mike, Pete, Mark, Bob and all who are interested in this little project!
A lot of thanks for likes and good words! I'm really flattered by the your compliments!
I think that each of you can make the same and I'm sure in that when I look in your's logs!

 

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

 

Best Regards!

Igor.
