Sea Installer - 1/2000 - Bottle

This is my first ship-in-bottle project. Decided to go for something different since I'm more familiar with styrene than with wood. 

The vessel is the Sea Installer from the DEME-company. A traditional dredging company, it has turned its attention to the installation of offshore wind farms. They bought the Sea Challenger and Sea Installer vessels from a Danish company a couple of years ago. The model shows the original Sea Installer configuration, installing a Transition Piece (TP) on a monopile foundation. 

In the meanwhile the actual Sea Installer was upgraded, the hull widened, the crane lengthened and strengthened in order to handle the recent larger wind turbines. 

I also etched the DEME logo in the bottle, since I was researching and prototyping after all. 

 

Although I had some larger plans with the base and lay-out, I eventually decided to go for a scaled down and simpler base. The letters and logo on the base were cut out of Vinyl with a stencil cutter. 

 

Some bubbles in the epoxy, but in the end I'm quite happy with how this turned out.

Really fabulous. Well done. I live by the sea and often see ships with large turbine parts go by.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
