Hey Igor

 

Nice job, especially with the brass handles on the doors!

 

Cheers

Thank you Patrick!

Hi Igor

Just wondered where you found a match that large. Had to be one of the biggest matches I've ever seen.

All jokes aside, keep up the great work. Love how she's coming along

[IgorSky]

Yes Carl! In our case the main secret - this is a special match for a photo ))

[captainbob]

Such fine work.  Yes, it's a pun.

 

Bob

[IgorSky]

Thank you, Bob! Today I admired the your Dragon!

[mtaylor]

Small update indeed.... tiny little structure but big in detail. 

[IgorSky]

Thank you Mark!

Here is next update - I am continuing to make the deck elements

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Thank you Patrick!

[Mirabell61]

beautiful work Igor,

 

but I ca`nt believe that this steam schooner will go through the bottle neck , unless you are able to perform a miracle ...

 

Nils

[IgorSky]

Many thanks Nils!

I hope that a miracle will not be necessary for this and will be quite enough use normal methods )))

 

Best REgards!

Igor.

 

P.S. In a pinch I can always use a hammer ))

[IgorSky]

Hi everyone!

Many thanks for your LIKEs!

So, I went on to build the deck houses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Igor

 

Nice work on the cabins.  I'm still mystified how you're going to get the main deck with all the tall deckhouses through the bottle's opening.  Are the cabin's going to be positioned individually after the hull's fully installed?

 

Cheers

Yes, Patrick, I'm going to set the main deck house separately after placing of the hull in the bottle.

[Omega1234]

Ahhh.  Got it, thanks!

[IgorSky]

The next step - I have tried to make something like a binnacle ))

[Omega1234]

Igor!!!!  You've done it again.  That miniature binnacle looks just brilliant!

[IgorSky]

However, I continue to work with the hull's elements

[IgorSky]

The next stage - the making of steam windlass

 

 

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

The next step - making the steering wheel

Hi Igor

 

Ok.  Now, I'm shaking my head in envy and amazement!  

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Ha-ha-ha Patrick, if you only knew what I feel about myself, when I look at on your Symphony ))

[Omega1234]

I think we're always our own worst critics. However, I wish, truly wish I had all the skills I needed. For instance, me and metal work just don't seem to mix. But for you, it just seems like second nature! Me envious? Damn right! But, always willing to learn and improve!

[cwboland]

Igor,

 

If I hadn't seen your fingers in the earlier pictures, I would have thought you brought out that giant match again. Great detail at such a small scale. Impressive work

[IgorSky]

Thanks Patrick and Carl! ))

Ευχαριστώ ioannis! ))

[captainbob]

I understand a giant match but where did you get the giant finger?  Or maybe you have us all fooled and you are a giant.    

Great work.

Hi Bob!

A bit of illusions, a bit of sleight of hands and ...voila ))

Thank you Bob!

 

Best Regards!
