Glad you are back, Igor, and up to your increadible standard too. Great details. It seems you improve yourself with every build you make ...

[IgorSky]

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.

Hi Igor

 

I like!  The sails will add a further dose of realism to your ship.

 

Nicely done.

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Thank you Patrick!

[Landlubber Mike]

Fantastic work as usual Igor!

[Julie Mo]

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

Hi everyone!

Here is the small update - I am continuing to make the sails

 

 

 

 

Best Regards!

HI Igor

 

Very nice job on the sails.  With respect to the last photo, would I be right in assuming that you've put the sail into a vice so that you can glue the bolt-rope onto the edge of the sail?  If so, what a nifty idea!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick 

[IgorSky]

Thank you Patrick!

Yes, I use the vice for this work.

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.

 

 

[IgorSky]

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

I then attached the sail to the mast

And again, fitting of the sails on the yacht.

Hey Igor

 

You actually laced the sail to the mast? At this tiny scale??? Unbelievable!

 

Nice job.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Many thanks Patrick!

I think the scale of 1 to 300 is not such and tiny

[DSiemens]

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

 

 

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[DSiemens]

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.  

[captainbob]

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

Hi everyone!

Here is the next small update - guys with "blocks"

 

 

 

[cog]

Stunning Igor ...

[IgorSky]

Stunning Igor ...

Many thanks Carl!

[Chasseur]

Awesome Igor I love it!

[IgorSky]

Awesome Igor I love it!

Thank you Jeff!

[Landlubber Mike]

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.

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

Very nice work on those 'blocks'. Once again, you look like you're doing a top job on some pretty tricky bits and pieces.

 

Well done!

 

Cheers
