Russian Schooner "Polotsk" 1788 - Master Korabel - Scale 1:72

What now? :-D

Built a smaller anchor, fixed the rudder and the boat got a compass :-)

How did you make the compass? I'd be interested in the materials.

Hey Tony, the compass is made from a brass tube, white paper behind with a compass rose drawn with a pencil, a drop of "Micro Crystal clear" for the "glass" and a small box of pear veneer around :-)

So, I think that's really it :-) The boat got its rig.

I was wondering about the glass. Thanks!

[Dubz]

You are welcome Tony! :-)

Next is gaff and boom. 1:72 is sometimes challenging for me.

Thanks for your likes guys, good to have you here. You are always welcome to post your stuff here too ;-)

I have built the yards. I did it differently for me this time and made the tapers before turning. Works better :-)




I deliberately don't make the yard formwork and cleats in black. On the one hand I like the contrast, on the other hand the single components are shown more clearly and encourage to ask questions.

I split the ropewalk thematic to a new thread:

Time for something different. The anchors :-)

Working on the guns.


Breaching ropes







Hooks, best (and shortest!) Hooks I know made by #dafi #dafinismus.







Already bended Hooks.

It's a bit slow the moment but I can show a few macros :-)

BTW "baking" my rope was a very helpful decision. It's great to be able to cut them easily now without unraveling.
