It's always a pleasure to see your work Sasha. The buoy is wonderful, love the details.

VojtasS these are keel blocks for boats from DeAgostini. They are made of plywood. I threw them away and made others from black hornbeam
Breathtakingly beautiful. The precision and accuracy of your work, especially with the rigging is inspiring me to raise the standard of mine soon to come.
Thank you for posting these amazing photos they are visually pleasing and a great reference.
Congratulations Sasha.

Colleagues, good day. Thank you for your comments and likes, this inspires me to continue working.
I am asking you for help. I need the sizes of the flags and the proportions of the stripes as in this picture for the stern flag and the union jack. I found out that the ratio of the sides for the fleet is 1:2. I am looking for the sizes of the flags themselves and the proportions for the stern flag

Next-level ship modelling I can only dream of...
True story
Hello everyone. I made a 28-foot pinnace. The technology is exactly the same as with the other boats. I made a blank, sheathed it with frames, then with sheathing slats. After that, the internal filling. And installed all the boats in their place on the deck.
No one has shared any information about the size of the flags, perhaps it is a big secret. I decided to make the flags myself. I made markings on the fabric and colored them with a gel pen. I am still in the process. I have not decided whether I like it or not.
Started making coils. Manufacturing options 2.
I'm trying to depict something similar

Some very skilled work there. Beautiful

Barges are soo nice!
Good morning Sasha. Wow that Pinnace is modelling excellence. Cheers Grant
All your work is first class Sasha. Love your rope coils too. They are my bane though.
Lovely work my friend. How you put so much love into a ship that you won't be keeping is difficult for me to imagine....
Paul, it's a question of philosophy and approaches to construction. For me it makes no difference whether I made a model for myself or for a customer. All other things being equal. This model has a high degree of alterations and detailing. The previous model of the schooner "Albatross" was a more budget version, but I still couldn't just assemble it from the box (it was pure garbage).
Well, it's still a clear labor of love. To pay you fairly for the work you are putting into this model is impossible. Or maybe I misunderstand the prices being paid for models made by master builders in Russia... I know that no one would pay my asking price for the Vasa or the Kingfisher
. Of course, my children will one day sell my models at a garage sale for $50...
Paul, this is also a very difficult question. Not everyone can afford to buy a model for the price I want for it. In working with "Victory", several factors simply coincided. The customer wanted a model, but he did not have much money, and I was interested in this project as a test of my skills and capabilities. In the end, we came to an agreement. Yes, this is not the price I would like to receive for 3 years of work. But I got something else for myself - invaluable experience in my work. Such a small compromiseWell, it's still a clear labor of love. To pay you fairly for the work you are putting into this model is impossible.

Good day to all.
The construction is moving towards its logical conclusion. An alternative to making flags is printing on fabric. It looks like this.
Giving shape and rigidity is not difficult. We dilute liquid PVA glue to the consistency of milk and process the flag with a brush. After that, we bend it and let it dry. I attached small clamps to the corners of the sail in the form of a load and the flag bent and dried in its natural form, this can be seen in the photo. To speed up the process, you can dry the flag with a hair dryer.
This is how it looks on the model

And a small announcement. The final working photo. The construction of the model is finished. All that remains is to do a photo shoot and put it in a case. I'll show everything a little later.
