Hi Carl!

Many thanks for you feedback!

I just always have fun to try to make some new parts to test new ideas, etc. Unfortunately, it usually takes much more time than I plan earlier. :)

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

This always boggles my mind.  Working with parts that can get lost behind a strand of hair?  Yikes!  

 

I certainly admire the skill it takes but I cannot even fathom what it would actually be like doing the work.  Kudos to you, Igor!  I humbly bow.

All of these components and part is not as difficult to make as it seems :)

I'm pondering on entering an Igor instruction class. You've got so much to teach ... brilliant

Many thanks Carl!

But I also continue to learn. This model has become my testing ground for the testing new ideas and technologies :)

 

During the last weekend I was continuing to work with sails.

 

At first I have glued grommets using CA. But it was not the good idea.

Then I tried to use Titebond II.

Then I have drilled holes.

Once with eyelets were finished, I once again painted the sails with a mixture of water diluted white glue and white acrylic.

That foremost sail is interesting. I'm not sure I've seen a sail like that before. She's looking great Igor.

Hi Daniel!

I used the plans of the yacht ENDEAVOUR for making the sails

I wonder if they did that to make it easier to tack.  With the end cut off it looks like it would pass over the other jib more easily.

It was done to improve the shape of the upper part of the sail to make the boat go faster.

Very nice Igor!  Are those blocks wood?

 

Just our of curiosity, how will you step the masts into the hull?  It doesn't look like you are using a hinge - are you using a string from the bottom of the mast through the bottom of the hull?  I'm wondering because I'm doing a similar ship in an upright bottle, but still trying to figure out how to step the masts as I would prefer to avoid using a hinge.
