You might win a few games at that scale I'll be in for some stupid moves! :)

 

I'm glad I tie my jaw shut before I have a look at your build logs.

You are really pulling all the plugs, Igor. Increadible. It is magnificent to see the result of your labour. I especially like the "underwater" shot. A great result.

Oh, thanks, Carl!
This project is also another test of another manufacturing method of water from the two-component silicone.
As you may remember for one of my current projects is very important to get a clear sea. It is very important to be able to see the underwater parts of the composition.

Best Regards!
Igor.

You make it look so easy.  But if it were we would all build in a bottle.

Just magnificent work, Igor.   I can only imagine trying that, but you do make it look easy.

Bob, I'm pretty sure many would have done it successfully :)

Thank you, Mark! I think to look is always more frightening than doing :)

Hi everyone!
Many thank you for your words of support and all your LIKES!
So, last evening I was going to fix the back of the mast and its standing rigging, and then install and fix running rigging... But it turned out that the guys on the one hand have been set incorrectly. :(
I had to pull out the mast and do everything over again.
Then I set the running rigging too. These temporary loops did their job :)

Hey Igor

 

Mistake, or no mistake, I still 'take my hat off to you". I couldn't do that even if I tried...

 

Good recovery, though, I must say!

 

Cheers

Hi Igor

Like Patrick I just sit here and shake my head. It is amazing to watch how you build and assemble such intricate parts into a bottle. The underwater profile is very nice.

Many thanks Lawrence and Michael for yours feedbacks and to all who have interest to this project!
So, I continue my story. We had 4 days of holidays and days off, so I was able to devote quite a lot of times for work with this project.
As you may recall, back mast was installed in its place, rigging taut, and after yet another validation of transactions, I just had to fix them with glue and trim the excess ends.

Just fantastic, Igor.  Sorry about the damage but it looks like you have repaired them well.
