Steam schooner LENA by IgorSky - BOTTLE - scale 1/290 - Finished


Recommended Posts

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

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

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

 

patrick

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

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!

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

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.   :P   :D

Great work.
