How do I make a sailboat in a bottle
Union Competition bench shipmodels clearly show that is not quenched interest in this ancient art form, as a manufacturer of models in different vessels of the original form. This is confirmed by the many letters sent to the editor with a request to reveal the secret infiltration of the vessel, armed with all sails through a narrow bottleneck.
There are several ways to create such models. Today we want to introduce you to one of them, perhaps, the most affordable.
Work should begin with the selection of the vessel. The best can be considered as the one that gives the minimum optical distortion, and in shape to the future appearance of the model. For example, the model of the clipper or bark is better to put in an elongated bottle of the "Damask" and the caravel or galleon - a "pot-bellied" (Fig. 1).
A few words about the tools you'll need for the job. I'll tell you about a major, but their likeness, you can make a whole set.
One of the most indispensable tools is a pair of tweezers, shown in Figure 2. It consists of two ends of the spokes-grippers that hold the details mikroparusnikov. Forceps simple, but it can be done through a variety of other tools. For example, a pair of scissors. They differ from the forceps only differently sharpened ends and additional sliding sleeve (Fig. 3). At first, you'll need another hook and plug (Fig. 4).
We turn to the production of the model. It is almost exactly the same as any other mikroparusnik, is evaluated, confines equipping. However, there are special requirements.
Begin work on a housing need to verify whether it can pass into the neck of the vessel, and it should be noted that the model is put into the bottle, along with a folded mast (Fig. 5). It is necessary to pre-decide - whether to produce the whole body or only to the waterline. Last, for many reasons, it is preferable.
To ensure ease of assembly models, must be very carefully cut out the slots for the mast - Steps. Its shape is shown in Figure 6. The width of each groove must exceed 0.5 mm diameter spur of the mast.
After processing, dyeing and finishing of the case can be taken for the production of mast. Machined and finished all of its elements, it is necessary to drill a number of masts and bowsprit pair of holes - their number exactly twice the amount of the stay on the model (Fig. 7). As can be seen from the figure, each forestay at one end is attached to the mast, and the other series is pulled through the hole in the mast and ends on the bowsprit. Before fitting the strut towers are set spurs into the slots on the deck.
Now gently pull the forestay - in this case will be the vertical mast. The ends of the stay should be temporarily secured to the bowsprit and proceed with the installation guys and fordunov, and then - yard, running rigging and sails. Remember that no detail of rigging must not be mounted "tightly", otherwise the mast will be impossible to "fill up" before.
Now prepare the vessel. If the body of the model is made to the water line, the bottle is desirable to simulate the water surface - there you can put a little bit of polyester resin, tinted in blue-green color. This should be done with caution (Fig. 8), so as not to stain the vessel wall.
