Beautiful photo of a beautiful ship!!

[captainbob]

WOW!  It's in the water?  I thought you were putting it in a bottle.

Hi Bob,

If I found a bottle of such size and placed in it a schooner of such size, on this photo I would stand on the deck :)

 

Best Regards!

I almost finished the second deckhouse and tried to start doing masts.

Igor, what an amazing model you are making, I have been sitting with a wide smile all through the build this morning. the way you have accomplished the tiny details is superb. I will be following along.

Hi Bob,

Welcome to a board, captain! I think your real place at a steering wheel, of course. ))

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[IgorSky]

Hi Michael,

A lot of thanks for good words!

Sometimes these so tiny details that I almost don't see them. And the most important - them it is impossible to leave without supervision because they aim to be lost somewhere ))

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Igor

 

The deckhouse looks pretty impressive. Nice, clean work.

 

Is one of the masts in the second photo?

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Is one of the masts in the second photo?

Hi Patrick,

Yes,Yes, I tried to make a mast to check some constructive methods.

On the photo you can see:

1. the heel of the mast with the diameter from 1 to 0,6 mm. I used a bamboo for it because a bamboo stronger than a usual tree and I will need to drill some bores in a mast which will reduce its strength.

2. cross element for installation of additional guys (it seems is called in English the crosspiece , but I am not sure). I used a medical needle with a diameter of 0,4 mm. A little later I will heat it that metall became soft.

3. boring bit with a diameter of 0,3 mm.

4. bamboo toothpick. I have no holder for such boring bit therefore I made a bore in the bamboo toothpick with a diameter of 0,5 mm and pasted a boring bit in a bore. Thus I received the manual tool.

5. boring bit with a diameter of 0,5 mm

So I made a bore with a diameter of 0,3 mm and expanded it by means of the sharp end of a medical needle.

 

My following task to try to stretch 2 thin threads through a needle.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[Omega1234]

Good stuff, Igor.  Thanks for the explanation.  Will you be hinging the masts at  the base as in other ship in bottle type models?  

[IgorSky]

I assume that I will place the hull of this model in a bottle without masts. Then I will establish masts serially. But it is my assumptions since I didn't make the project of installation of masts and conducting of a rigging yet. And following the aforesaid I think that I will have to establish masts by means of pins.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[Omega1234]

Ah.  Ok.  Makes sense!  

[IgorSky]

So, following small progress.
The bowsprit and first mast assembled:

 

I checked I can twice stretch a rigging thread through a tube:

 

Also I looked as the bowsprit and the mast look on the hull of the yacht:

Bets Regards!

Igor.

Interesting build,Igor. With my fading eyesight. I do not believe i could do the same work.

 

Montani semper liberi    Happy modeling

I cando with the macro photography ... my eyesight isn't getting any better either. Fortunately I can steel see some of the detail. I enjoy your build tremendously!

Hi Igor

 

I love that last overhead photo of Atlantic.

 

What a beauty!

 

Cheers

Hi avsjerome2003,

Many thanks for compliments!

Yes, my eyes this my weak place for quite some time now too. I use glasses and sometimes a head holder with magnifying glasses now.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hey Igor, absolutely incredible! I've been slowly working my scale down, but nothing close to how intricate your work is. I'm just trying to figure out what you could possibly learn from my build? I will watch your tiny build grow.

[IgorSky]

Hi Matt and Lawrence,

Many thanks for words of approval of my work!

Matt, your model of Hms Bounty Launch is magnificent! These mini tools, these details of the boat... the quality and the care of their production... I am delighted. And, of course, I try to study modes and methods of their production.

Lawrence, I will be glad if studying of my building will useful to you, but details of your fishing schooner seem perfectly!

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[IgorSky]

Today's progress (I hope that it though is a little similar to a binnacle)

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor.

 

You hope it's "similar"? You needn't worry. That certainly looks like a binnacle to me...and a good one at that!

 

Well done.

[IgorSky]

Hi Patrick,

Many thaks!

In general I managed to make a design as I think, but I couldn't execute exact processing of fine details.

I am consoled by only fact what it is possible to make out all this only by means of a macro photo ((

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[Omega1234]

Hi Igor

I know how you feel! I struggled with the binnacle for my schooner Ingomar. The hardest thing for me was how to simulate the hexagonal glass cover to the binnacle itself. I received some really good suggestions from modellers here on MSW. In the end, I decided to use a Swarovski crystal, which was hexagonal in shape. I had to carefully file the bottom flat, after which I then glued it on top of the binnacle stand itself.

I'm not sure if you're intending to do something similar, but this method worked for me.

All the best

Patrick

One more small detail:

[IgorSky]

. One question , what did you use for port holes they look so real,

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for good word!

I am sorry, but what port holes you mean?

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[Mfelinger]

Hi Igor,

maybe we all we assume that grain of dust port holes in your model, ;)

Very nice job, congratulations!

Hi Patrick,

Many thanks for good idea, but the design of the this binnacle is another. I found a photo, but I think that I am not ready to repeat it in my scale.

But I like your idea and I think to me it is necessary to visit a casket with jewelry of my wife  .

Best Regards!

Igor.

Hi Matija,

Many thanks!

I still am not sure that I understand correctly((

But if you and Lawrence mean it, I simply pasted PE ring.

Hi Igor and Lawrence

 

Sorry, but the confusion over those portholes is my fault.  I had posted a couple of photos of my model of Ingomar to show the binnacle I made.  But, I hadn't asked Igor's permission to put photos in his log; so, as it may be considered hijacking of his thread, I've removed them.

 

Igor - my apologies!

 

Cheers
