O.B.one Posted June 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Gday all. Been keen to do a SIB since university days, after I've seen the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Back then forums like these were not really to be found. Plus starting career family etc. My lovely wife gave me the Amati Hannah kit for a present two years ago. That was a good learning start. I hope to work my way up from beginner to advanced, to master, and perhaps one day Igor's level My first scratch build is something simple and different. And that will hopefully fit the bottle I have laying around. Not really a fan of the Americas cup, but a great fan of the Ineos Grenadier. Looking forward to the build, and mostly advice from everyone. I read the copyright policy. Please delete if a screenshot is a breach?

O.B.one Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted June 14, 2022 Progress thus far was good. Nothing new just basic carving. Im guessing the scale on the foils. Please let me know what you think, if the proportions are ok: I think it's too small. Used sn empty beer can, it is very flimsy. Will also try a lid of a jar GrandpaPhil, John Fox III, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Current build HMB Endeavour SIB (Documenting on msw) slow going Completed builds: Hannah by Amati SIB Generic 2 mast schooner SIB Wyoming 6 mast schooner SIB (Documented on msw) Pirate ship from Asterix and the Great Crossing SIB (Documented on msw) Shelfed for now Ineos Britannia SIB (Documenting on msw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foil looks a bit big to me but then again I'm not an expert on these modern flying machines.

O.B.one Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Sorry comment earlier ment to say the hull is too small. I made the foils smaller. A bit better, but ran into a problem with the bottle. It's too narrow for the foils as well... unless I tuck them in under the hull...

O.B.one Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted June 26, 2022 What is a mind if you can't change it. I'm putting this one on the shelf. I think it would work well in a big light bulb. Attached is a decorative light, probably 150mm across. Halogen and used a lot. So I'm hoping it will blow at some point, so I can put the Ineos Britannia in it. These are too expensive to justify ruining a perfect bulb to open it.

O.B.one Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted June 26, 2022 Until then, I'll do a basic schooner of sorts, that will fit the bottle I intended for the Britannia. It'll be a basic generic job, unless I can find a specific Schooner worth making. mtaylor and Glen McGuire 2 Quote Current build HMB Endeavour SIB (Documenting on msw) slow going Completed builds: Hannah by Amati SIB Generic 2 mast schooner SIB Wyoming 6 mast schooner SIB (Documented on msw) Pirate ship from Asterix and the Great Crossing SIB (Documented on msw) Shelfed for now Ineos Britannia SIB (Documenting on msw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javelin Posted November 30, 2023 Share #9 Posted November 30, 2023 Just found this. Great idea, but did the bulb blow yet? mtaylor 1 Quote Roel Gallery Scratch built: 1/700 CLV Living Stone 1/700 ULCC Ti Europe 1/400 Split barge Bengel 1/100 tug Union Eagle 1/2000 Sea Installer - bottle Build logs: 1/2000 Sea Installer - FINISHED - Bottle 1/2000 Spartacus - not in a bottle anymore 1/100 LPG Tanker Chaconia - Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
