Hi Igor

 

Once again, I see it, but, I still don't quite believe it!!!

 

Nicely done.

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Thank you Patrick!

I myself did not quite believe it))

Yes, sometimes they surprise us.  She's a fine boat and she'll look good in the bottle.

Stunning work Igor,

 

hope all goes well when the Magic Moment Comes (glueing down the hull layers in the flacon and hoisting the mast with the pre-rigged sails). Would love to look over your shoulder that Moment.....

Hi Bob, Mike, Michael and Nils!

Many thanks for your good words and all LIKEs!!!

 

Mike, of course I still have a long way to the title of master, and I am still only a student now ))

 

Yes, Niels, you'll have the opportunity to see this process in my next posts))

 

So, I am continuing.

On Friday evening, I once again checked all the details, I fixed some of the rigging and I prepared the lower part of the body for the placing in the bottle.

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

On Saturday morning, I began making the sea.

 

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

The next step - the making of the waves.

 

 

 

And ... it's still happened ... It was a sad moment when I discovered a crack in one of the corners of the bottle. ((

Resin really strongly have reduced its volume. I think there are two reasons for this failure - I filled the heated resin and I added too much hardener. ((

 

[Mirabell61]

what a pitty Igor,

 

can imagine what you felt...but the saying says  "no risk no fun"...

 

was that the end of your beautiful Flacon I lked so much,..... do you have another suitable one for the next Trial, and resin with less hardener?

This incident forced me to make adjustments to my plan of action.

I had planned to put the model into the bottle, close the bottle the cork and on this to stop. But now I have to make a stand and come up with something for concealing and fixing crack.

 

 

 

 

 

[Mirabell61]

Igor,

 

unbelieveable !, how did you fix the crack,... did you go to a "Car-Glass" shop ?

 

Nils

[UpstateNY]

Thanks for posting all details on how to do the sea and get the model into the bottle. She looks wonderful in there with the bottle shape complementing the sails.

 

Sorry about the crack of course, but certainly look forward to seeing your stand.

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

[IgorSky]

Hi Nils and Nigel!

Thanks for the sympathy!

I used CA. In the future, I'm going to make the rocks that hide the crevasse and additionally fix the fracture. Now I have some more ideases , but I'm going to implement them later, when I get back from vacation. ))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Omega1234]

Truly outstanding, Igor.  I don't quite understand how you used the CA to fix the crack, but, nevertheless, whatever you did worked.

 

Really nicely done!

 

Cheers

I press my nose flat on the screen! - Your report reads to me, like a thriller on the bestseller list!   - I wanted, I had nerve as you ...

Thank you Patrick!

I just added a little bit of CA on the crack. I hope this helps for a while. ))

[IgorSky]

Oh, Mike, many thanks for your compliment!

Maybe my other hobby helps me not to panic ))

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

 

P.S. I already was told you early that I only student now. ))

[JohnE]

Igor, I am reminded that Siddhartha, too, was only a student.

 

What you have created is truly magnificent. Not just the ship, but the shape of the bottle, the rocks, the setting, the perspective, the gestalt, and coup d'oeil. I think you have created a true work of art.

The crack fix looks like it worked very well, Igor.   I hope you have a good vacation.

[IgorSky]

Thank you John and Mark!

I'm even was embarrassed from all your words, the more that I am not quite finished this project.

 

Mark, thank you for you wishes! What could be better than 1 month holiday? Of course, the vacation during 2 months! )) We're going to spend 3 weeks at the seaside and a few days in St. Petersburg.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Igor

 

Have a great vacation!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Thank you Mike and Patrick!

 

Yesterday I had began to create a piece of rock inside the bottle.

[IgorSky]

Hi everyone!

Here a small update - part of the rock inside the bottle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Hey Igor.

 

Nice! Kinda reminds me of the Italian cruise liner (can't remember her name) that recently sailed too close to the lee shore and the ship sank. Happened a couple of years ago.

 

Anyhow, no such bad luck for your J Boat as she's safely sailing by.

 

Another job well done!

 

Cheers

Thank you Patrick!

Now I need to make a stand, the continuation of the rocks outside of the bottle and, possibly, the lighthouse tower. But I'll do it after returning from vacation.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

 

P.S. It seems that the ship was called Concordia.

[Omega1234]

Concordia! That's it!

 

Have a great vacation.

[IgorSky]

So work with this project continues too))

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

Tiny, tiny, tiny and very nice!

 

Cheers
