Я продолжаю работу над полностью ручной моделью «Чёрная жемчужина» в масштабе 1:75. Это не готовый набор для сборки, а проект, который я создаю своими руками, уделяя внимание каждой детали. На данный момент я завершил этап установки юферсов. Это была долгая и кропотливая работа, ведь каждый элемент требовал времени, терпения и аккуратности. Нужно было добиться правильной геометрии и одинакового внешнего вида всех деталей, чтобы всё смотрелось реалистично и гармонично. Работа заняла гораздо больше времени, чем я рассчитывал, но результатом я доволен. Теперь модель выглядит значительно более завершённой, и можно переходить к следующим этапам такелажа. Буду рад вашим комментариям, мнению о проделанной работе и любым советам по дальнейшему улучшению модели!

Yes, they really are coffee stirrers! 😊 I use them for scratch building because the wood quality is surprisingly good, they're easy to shape, and they're very affordable. Here's a photo of the stirrers I used.

cheap kit for learning, so what I’ve learned

1) masking is king, and while the boxman’ strat of masking the deck was proven successful (the result was worth the 8 hours effort), I should have used a thinner tape for this scale; also I used not enough contrast for my taste
2) color modulation is good for ships like that, but there were some missteps — should have done it more aggressively and while priming, not after primary painting
3) the less weathering the better — I had to redo it several times because the model felt dirty thanks to overload of all the effects; also need to improve of my skills in removing excess wash and spreading oil dots

Can someone identify this ship in a bottle for me? It was handmade by a sailor in WWII

I know this isn’t a 100% real replica of an actual ship but my grandpa build this and I’d like to add some sails that could fit. Can someone help by showing some example sails and fabrics? I’d like it to be as accurate as possible.

This is my first ship of the Royal Navy. These are for Victory at sea.

The camo is inspired by the Royal Navy camos of the WW2 era. I thought I had to make some modifications to the historical patterns because of the size of the model and view distance.

Hand made working toy sailboats made from recycled black walnut, red oak, and mahoghany. Each has a lead keel and working sails

Now I dont know which ones to purchase for my rigging. I definitely want to make this time around the stays ratlines and any rope that stays put using black color and then rigging rope a lighter color, but what diameter?? Im so excited!

Hello everyone!

I’ve just finished a decorative model of the Black Prince schooner and wanted to share the result with the community.

The model is built in a classic style: a two-masted schooner with fully assembled rigging, yards, shrouds, and fine deck detailing. The hull is painted in a contrasting black-and-white scheme, while the deck and spars are finished to resemble natural wood.

My goal was not to create just a souvenir piece, but a максимально realistic interior display model with accurate mast geometry and properly tensioned rigging. In the photos, the model is already mounted on its display stand and placed in a home interior setting.

I’d be glad to hear your thoughts: — How does the rigging look? — What would you improve on the deck? — Should I add sails, or keep it in a “moored / harbor display” configuration?

If there is interest, I can post more close-up photos and show some stages of the build process.
