IgorSky Posted September 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2015 Hi everyone! Another my mini project here )) Some time ago my friends gave me the empty perfume flacon with the quite the unusual shape. The shape of the bottle did not leave much choice for the type of ship, the model which could be placed inside. So this will be a model of the yacht J-class. This model does not have a specific prototype and it is a kind of generalized image of these beautiful yachts. As usual, I am starting with making of the hull Omega1234, michael mott, mikegerber and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael mott Posted September 21, 2015 Share #13 Posted September 21, 2015 Nice work, Igor. I can't up with your progress! You're moving ahead so quickly! But I have started this project last Thursday (17.09.2015). )) And I have not yet finished reading the emails since getting back from the coast. Igor obviously there is not a lot of physical material involved in your work, but working at such a small scale requires extreme precision which is not something that I would think is a fast activity. Amazing so far! Michael Omega1234, IgorSky and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks Michael! Yes, you're right - it needs a very small amount of material. It's one of the nice sides of the building of SIB. )) Best Regards! Igor. Omega1234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega1234 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #17 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Hi Igor Nice, as always. Can I pls ask a favour? Can you please show how you did the metal gooseneck on the boom? I never seem to get those sort of fixtures looking as good as yours and Captain Bob's. If you could, I'd really appreciate it.

IgorSky Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted September 22, 2015 Can you please show how you did the metal gooseneck on the boom? Hi Patrick, Do you mean it? mikegerber, Omega1234 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega1234 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #19 Posted September 22, 2015 Yes please! I always stuff these things up, especially at these tiny scales. How do you make your metal work look so good? Also, do you use super glue to fix it onto the wooden boom? Silly questions, I know, but I'm really keen to learn better ways of doing things.

IgorSky Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share #20 Posted September 22, 2015 Patrick, I used the needles from the syringe of different diameters. I cut short pieces and glued them on the ends of the boom. And every time I try to use the different ways of attaching the boom to the mast. mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega1234 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #21 Posted September 22, 2015 Aah, ok, thanks Igor! I've heard you mention the syringes before, but I never thought about using them in this way. I'll have to remember that one for the future. Thanks and all the best! Patrick IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnE Posted September 24, 2015 Share #29 Posted September 24, 2015 A loooong time ago I sailed with Dennis on Freedom for the quals, as trimmer. Anything to do with the old America's Cup boats makes me perk up and take notice. I've seen lots of J-Class boat models, but never one that can sit on your fingertip. I do not have the words.
