Schooner AMERICA by IgorSky - BOTTLE - scale ̴ 1/800 - Finished


Recommended Posts

Hi everyones!

I had a break in the shipbuilding for more than 3 months. Now, before I go back to my current projects, I decided to do another short mini-project for restoring of my skills.

 

So, I begin as usual with building of the hull.

Brilliant Igor.

 

I don't think you had to "restore your skills" your skills never went away!

Igor, that is amazing. My first thought was "Don't Sneeze".   :)

Thank you Ian! Yes, the work with small details has some specifics ))

The next stage - the masts and the standing rigging. So first foremast.

After seeing this level of detail and the size... I'm giving up and taking up knitting.  Wonderful work, Igor.

Hi Patrick, Pete, Bob, Patrick, Mark, Mark and all my friends!

Many thanks for your words of encouragement! I really appreciate your feedback and I am agitated!

I am pleased that the results of my modest creativity bring pleasure to you too!

 

Today I'll show you how I was installing a second mast ).

Igor,

 

Great work!! I see you have bought some more large instuments to fool us besides that giant matchstick of yours. It seems hardly - if at all - possible to make those minute deck furnishings. Marvelous work on the masts and the rigging mate!!

 

Cheers,

Carl

Ah, I just caught up on your America in a bottle build Igor.  Marvelous detail at that scale, just lovely.  This makes my fingers itch to start my Dutch fishing boat in a lamp or bottle.  I'm taking notes my friend, your pictures are a good teacher.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

I think you are from outer space.  You have some insane skills.  Very proud to know where to find these pics so I can show others.  

 

 

Simply beautiful, man...holy crap.

Many thanks Piet!

I think that to build a ship in a bottle is not a difficult task for you. In any case, I am ready to help if necessary.

What kind of Dutch fishing boat are you talking about? Can I see the photo?

 

Best REgards!

Igor.
