IgorSky Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Then I set the upper part of the hull in its place, added a little glue and tightly pressed her to the bottom part of the hull.

IgorSky Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Then I prepared the rear mast and set it in place.On this moment I decided to make a break in the work, because I needed more time to carefully check the rigging and then finally I will to fix the mast and its rigging.

IgorSky Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) So, I was going to fix the back of the mast and its standing rigging, and then install and fix running rigging... But it turned out that the guys on the one hand have been set incorrectly. I had to pull out the mast and do everything over again. Then I set the running rigging too. These temporary loops did their job. And than after yet another validation, I just had to fix them with glue and trim the excess ends.

IgorSky Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Despite my misgivings, the bridge was set almost immediately, but then ... I was horrified to find some damages... In this state, this was leaved until the next morning... James w rogers, Lboro, JesseLee and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Excellent photography. Â The sea is incredible, I really like that you can see the prop under the water. Â The line situation looks tough. Â Are you able to get the ship out at this point? Â Â IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I continue this story... In the next morning I started to repair the breaches. At first, I pasted the eye in  hole. I made a small and simple tool for the job. Preliminarily, I conducted several training sessions on the stand to test this idea.  JesseLee, James w rogers, IOAN and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorSky Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I could not cut off some of the threads that were hard to reach areas, using a conventional tool. So I had to make one more tool and to use the way, that usually I do not like to use. JesseLee, James w rogers, IOAN and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorSky Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Many thanks for your support and feedback, friends! I try to make a detailed description of the process of the building of the model so that you can see my mistakes and possible solutions. Unfortunately, I can not avoid mistakes in almost every one of my projects. But I am glad that usually  these are new mistakes, not a repetition of the old ones  18 hours ago, JesseLee said: I too love the way you can see through the sea. Fantastic work Igor! Jesse Jesse, this time I'm almost satisfied with the result I received. Now I can continue to work with another of mine projects - the Old Man and the Sea. Best Regards! Igor.
