That, my friend, is very nifty indeed. I would never have thought of such a simple, and yet effective method. Well done!

Thank you, Carl!
This idea came up suddenly. But I liked the ease of making these parts.

Igor, there are many things that are wonderful in that series of photos!

My favorite is the precision with which you threaded and sewed those sails! And kept the fabric looking utterly pristine!!

I have to remind myself that this ship is a mere 10cm long ... Increadible work on those masts and sails, Igor. I see you still have the giant match.

Yesterday I decided to make a new boat for the schooner.

I am building the "Atlantic" from the Bluejacket kit and found your blog while searching for others doing the same. Amazing! I certainly hope to follow your progress until the model is safely installed in the bottle.

What type of magnification & lighting do you use while working? A photo of that would be appreciated.

Very impressive work, thanks for sharing.

Many thanks, Carl, Mark, Daniel, Patrick, jerrynast and Moab for yuore feedbacks!

I'll try to answer your questions soon.
Now I have already started the process of moving the model into the bottle. And I'm going to show you the photos of this process.

Hi Moab!
Most of the time I use the cloth, named percale, to make sails.
Please, look at these my logs - there are some photos about the process of making the sails - 

 

If you have any more questions, please, ask me.

Best Regards!
Igor.

Igor.

Sorry....I am late to the party.

I am totally gob smacked with your model SIB.

I do not know you but looking at the incredible tiny details of this fully planked and decked ship I do know that I am witnessing world master class SIB modelling.

I have the old Jack Needham book which is good but compared to what you are doing it doesnt come near.

If you have not already, please write a book on it including this model.

Your build has taught me so much already.

Your are in another league.

Right down to the sails which are bang on the right colours and not just stuck on but with tiny mast rings toboot. The list is endless.

Absolutely totally awesome.

I have never seen anything like it.

Thank you my master.

Many thanks for your feedback, Pete! 

My home library has several books by different authors about making ships in a bottle. But in these books there are usually only basics and simple examples. So don't limit yourself to books! Communicate with colleagues, fantasize, try to do things that seem impossible at first. 

Best regards and good luck!

Igor.

P.S. Write a book? I have another idea!

By the way, Pete, you can see the sail making process here -  https://modelshipworld.com/topic/15797-pilot-cutter-jolie-brise-by-igorsky-finished-bottle-scale-1240/page/2/
