J-class Yacht by IgorSky - FINISHED - Scale 1/300 - BOTTLE

[IgorSky]

Hi everyones!

 

I decided to give this building the separate log.

Some time ago I bought a new material for the making of the sea for one of my current projects. I've never used this silicon, so I decided to first try it with some simple project.

 

 

Thus, about one and a half years ago, I made this hull for yacht, but at that time I was not satisfied with the result, so that the hull was lying in the drawer of my desk all the time. Now I have decided to slightly improve this hull and use it for this project.

 

 

[IgorSky]

First of all I have improved the lattice on the deck hauses and did the loops fastening steering. I have used some photoetched parts for it.

Hi Igor

 

I really like the work you've done on the cabins and skylights.  Nice!

 

The hull's looking very fine and beautifully crafted as well.

 

Cheers and all the best!

The next stage - the production of the steer wheel

Many thanks Patrick!

[IgorSky]

Another small detail - it seems that this is winch

 

 

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

Nice wheel!  Is it photo etched as well?

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Nice wheel!  Is it photo etched as well?

Yes, Patrick, it is PE too

 

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

Thanks for that.  It's also great to see you back at the ship yard again.  I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms....!

 

Cheers

On the deck should be binnacle

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

Aha!   Sooooooo....it's true.  Your giant matchsticks really do exist: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13801-bluenose-ii-by-cwboland-–-bottle-–-small-scale-unknown/#entry426702       

 

Nice work on the deck furniture, as always!

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Thank you Patrick!

[cog]

Here we go again, can't stop him playing with those huge matchsticks

 

So you found where I found out about it, Patrick .......

 

Igor,

 

Some major beautiful work. I love the detail on the cabin's e.a., and as usual, you astonish me with those enormous pieces like the binnacle, and winch. It must be hard on your eyes from time to time.

 

Now I see you about with the steering wheel, I remember I've got the PE for that too. Need to add it a wheel to the Sea Witch. Thanks for reminding me

 

Cheers

Yep!  Secret's out now.

[IgorSky]

The mast and the boom. These parts have been made long ago. Now I just replaced some of the details (cross-pieces) and have drilled the necessary holes.

Igor, I can only aspire to your level of detail in my BN2 build. Looking great at your usual small scale

[Landlubber Mike]

Really great work Igor!  Glad you're posting here as well as the SIB site.  I wish I could build as cleanly at 1/64 as you build at 1/300!

[captainbob]

And here comes another beautiful boat from the IgorSky boat yard.  She's looking great.

Many thanks Carl, Mike, Bob and all whom is interesting this project for your support and feedback!

Oh, Carl, I think it just looks complicated, but in fact it is pretty easy in making

Hi Mike! I'm sure to make the good model in 1/64 scale is much more difficult

Thank you Bob!

 

I would like to clarify that this is not the model of a particular yacht. I have used the drawings of the hull of the yacht Rainbow. But I have changed the proportions. I also used the photos of the yacht Endeavour to make the deckhouses. Length of the hull of this model is 95 mm and I chose the scale of 1/300, only on the basis of my preferences

 

And a small update. I made a lot of small rings. I'm going to use them as eyelets and clips. (I'm not sure that I correctly translated these terms)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

I like the way you did those clips!  A really neat idea which I may just nick for the next time I need to do them.

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Yesterday I tried another method of making rings. I used the wire diameter of 0.15 mm and the drill bit 0.4 mm diameter . New rings look a bit better than the old.

 

 

 

Cork ... I'm trying to come up with that can be placed inside the cork.

 

 

[cog]

Yes, Igor, only slightly better. Now they are hardly visible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DSiemens]

Great work as always Igor. Shes looking exceptional.

 

This sounds crazy but I've always thought the idea putting a sextant in a bottle. If you could fit one in the cork I think it would look really neat. Not sure how you would do it though.

Thank you for feedback Carl and Daniel!

Sextant... Interesting idea... Daniel, do you have any photo?

[captainbob]

I once saw a model off the SPRAY in a bottle where he put a globe in the glass stopper.

 

Bob

[Hyposphagma]

A cross section of the mast frame inside the cork would be great! Whatever, this is gonna be your best ship Igor. A real beauty!

[DSiemens]

I don't have a picture if a sextant in a bottle. I don't think it's ever been done. Here's a picture of a sextant though.

[cog]

Or a simple working compass, although the sextant seems to me a big challenge

[IgorSky]

Hello everybody!

Here are the small updates after a long break in work.

First I completed the mast and boom attached to it.

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

The next step is the making of the sails. First I tried to make them my old way, but I did not like the result.
