Onni Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Mizzen mast in place complete with spanker sail. Ship's double wheel is under the spanker but a little difficult to make out. Lifeboat hoist in front of the mizzen mast. I decided to make a weather beaten canvas awning,with the date and name of the ship incorporated into the stand. I think some of the fun of building ship in bottles, is coming up with your own unique stand designs.

Onni Posted May 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Main mast goes in.Because this is a bigger bottle than I originally intended to use,she looks a bit on the small size but it would of entailed an almost complete rebuild or at least reworking the masts to be higher. At least there is good space to work inside the bottle and I can fill out the empty ice pack with tents/huts/stores etc..

Onni Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Before I permanently fix the foremast in place, I position lifeboat davits on the port side complete with hanging lifeboat and add some more deck features. Next will be fixing the jib. The advantage for me in adding each mast separately is you don't have to deal with a vast amount of tangled threads as one usually has with the traditional folding masts. Not saying this is a better way of doing them but it works alright for me. Most of my earlier ships I built with folding masts,copied from 'Sailing in Glass' and Jack Needham's book but found the hulls were a bit on the small side ,so I began experimenting with split hulls and individual masts too allow bigger vessels. Still learning though ..... use a lot of styrene in builds nowadays because it is so versatile and easy to cut and use instead of thin wood veneers.

Onni Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Fixed the bowsprit in place ,complete with dolphin striker and bobstays and then threaded the jib ropes through the bowsprit using the cotton loops that I had made earlier (first picture).Glued the jib sails in place and after everything was dry cut off any excess threads and she's done! Turks head knot on the end of the bottle completes the look. Had to photograph her in the last little bit of snow that was left remaining in May!⛄ Bernard Kelly, IgorSky, John Zuch and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artur Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 The Terror - wyprawa do Arktyki przez Leon27 » 20 Lut 2019, 11:27 Pewnie większość temat przespała. Ja obejrzałem 3 dni temu i nadal jestem pod wrażaniem. The Terror to 10 odcinkowy serial zainspirowany prawdziwymi wydarzeniami, "Terror" koncentruje się na niebezpiecznej wyprawie Królewskiej Marynarki Wojennej, która wyrusza na nieznane terytorium w poszukiwaniu Przejścia Północno-Zachodniego. Załoga stanie w obliczu zdradliwych warunków, ograniczonych zasobów, gasnącej nadziei na przetrwanie i strachu przed nieznanym. Czy komukolwiek uda się wyjść cało z dramatycznej walki o przetrwanie? Przenikliwy mróz, samotność i uwięzienie na samym końcu świata – "Terror" świetnie pokazuje, co może pójść źle, gdy grupa mężczyzn desperacko walczących o przeżycie, musi zmierzyć się nie tylko z żywiołami przyrody, ale także ze sobą nawzajem. Specjalnie zbudowano na potrzebę filmów w studiu niezbędne części okrętu The Terror. POLECAM. Na Filmwebie ma 7.5 na 10 co jest bardzo wysoką notą biorąc pod uwagę, że nie każdy z oglądających jest fanatykiem morskich przygód. Reżyseria Rydley Scott - mistrz reżyserki na podstawie powieści Dana Simmonsa . Do filmu użyto prawdziwych historycznych rekwizytów.
