ATLANTIC by IgorSky - FINISHED - 1/600 Scale - BOTTLE - three-masted schooner

[Tuffarts]

Have you thought about small magnets hidden in the hull to pull the parts together firmly. 

I am sure you don not need them but the joints may be even tighter with them.

Incredible work you do by the way.

[IgorSky]

Hi Tuffarts,

Thanks for council! But I am conservative in these questions and I prefer traditional tongues )))

[IgorSky]

It was actually the White waterline, that I was curious about. Is it painted, or is it a wooden plank that you bent around to meet nicely at the stern?

Hi Patrick,

No, it isn't painted and it isn't the curved wooden plank.I inserted a thin wooden plate between parts of the hull and also I processed everything together an emery paper.The top and lower parts of the hull didn't allow to grind off more than it is necessary.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Small advance forward today

Hi Igor.

 

She's looking great. The addition of the simulated frames on the bulwarks adds a really nice touch.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing more updates.

 

Cheers

The following step forward - I try to construct deck superstructures

[Mfelinger]

Igor, excellent work, I like it.

It's something different and interesting (for me).

I follow with curiosity.

 

 

Cheers, Matija.

[Omega1234]

Very nice Igor and well done! She's growing more and more with each update.

 

Cheers

Hi Patrich,

I watched some photos to understand these elements are visible or not. On some of them they were hidden by a covering, on some are well visible. But I am going to establish a gunwale over boards and additional thrust blocks are necessary for me to paste them as thickness of boards is too small for this purpose.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[Omega1234]

Ok. Thanks Igor. Sounds like a good plan. I look forward to the next update!

[IgorSky]

Hi Matija.

Many thanks for the words of support!

I think that your models are more excellent!

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[IgorSky]

Thanks Patrick!

Now came time for production of small details. Small details sometimes demand a lot of time for considering and production, but progress in these cases is almost imperceptible. ))

 

Bets Regards!

Igor.

Hi, everybody! I continue construction the first of deck superstructures

 

 

Also I start doing the second of them

[IgorSky]

My first attempt to make the boat for the ATLANTIC appeared not absolutely successful. The boat turned out too big therefore I decided to make it again.

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

I really like the deckhouse that you've built. The rounded edges that you've put on the roof is a nice touch, as is the skylight you've also built. Well done on both scores.

 

As for the ship's boat, well she's a beauty! I guess if she's too big, you can always display her proudly elsewhere.

 

I look forward to seeing more.

 

All the best!

[IgorSky]

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for good words!

I yet not absolutely finished the build the build of the deckhouse. It is required to establish windows, to complete brass lattices at light windows and so forth.

But now I continue to build the new boat:

[IgorSky]

For the first big boat I made a steering wheel (a big steering wheel:)). For the second small boat I tried to make the small steering wheel. I used a brass wire 0,15 mm thick and a boring bit with the diameter of 0,5 mm.

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

 

Nicely done!  The small details in the second photo really bring a touch of realism to the boat.

 

Cheers

Igor,

 

Beautiful work. Inspirational and out of this world.

[captainbob]

The little boat is looking better than the big boat.  The little steering wheel is amazing.

 

Bob

[IgorSky]

Thanks Bob.

Now I try to make a windshield for the small boat.

 

Best Regarsd!

Igor.

[Mfelinger]

Igor,

You always surprise me, when I think that this limit, you skip it ...

your work is amazing.

 

Regards, Matija.

[IgorSky]

Small progress today.

For the boat I need to make a windshield.

I used for this purpose thin transparent plastic and a brass wire with a diameter of 0,15 mm.

Now I can establish a steering wheel and a windshield on the boat, to compare the new boat with old and to try to set it on the deck.

[IgorSky]

Hi Matija,

A lot of thanks for a compliment!

I often think that I already reached a limit too, but then I try to use other materials, other tools, other technologies and it appears that I was mistaken .

[IgorSky]

Railings...

I tried two options, possible for me, - from a thin wire and with application of photoetched details for models in scale 1:700. I think that on the model I will use the second option. But I think to add to photoetched details of the racks from a wire.

[captainbob]

The little boat is lovely.  It's nice to have the bigger boat to practice on, I like the little one better.

Hi Igor

 

Great stuff! The last photo of the ship's boat resting on the Atalntic's deck shows just how just tiny it is and the skill required to achieve what you've done.

 

Well done.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[IgorSky]

Tiny progress today

[IgorSky]

It is a little positive for raising spirit in the middle of the long way ))
