Mediterranean Sea Boat by IgorSky - FINISHED - Scale 1/200 - BOTTLE

[IgorSky]

Another of my small projects. I recently have seen the photo of the model boat, which was interesting me.

 

 

I have wrote to the author of the model and he told me that this boat is a typical for Sardinia the southern Mediterranean area Andalucia.

 

A couple of weeks ago I started building the model of this boats in a bottle.

 

Best Regards!

Hi Igor,

 

I've never watched a ship in a bottle being made before so I'll follow along if you don't mind. 

 

The hull looks fantastic!   

 

Cheers,

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for the compliment!

Yes of course!

This is the very simple model, but I try to use the same methods which I use in the construction of more complex models.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[IgorSky]

Thanks Michel!

I am continuing ...

At that moment I did not know how I'm going to do a sail, so I have prepared the cloth for the sail.

Hi Igor

 

Another great start to a really clever and nicely executed model. This one's gonna be a beauty, with loads of character and charm, for sure.

 

Nice!

 

Cheers

Hi Igor

 

What's your secret for doing the blocks?

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Hi Patrick,

The block is just a node and a smallest drop of glue.

 

A couple of small details

 

Best Regards!

[Omega1234]

Ahhh! That's the same as what I've done on occasions....great minds think alike.

 

Thanks!

 

All the best

Hi Igor,

 

Love the furled sail and the rigging as well what I believe is the anchor in your last picture.

 

Can I ask if you using a microscope do to this work? I find things hard at 1:60 scale.....can't imagine doing all this in something that fits into a bottle!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Hi Nigel,

Hey Igor. Congratulation. This became a really nice ship. I am not really sure, but I think I like it most of all the ships you posted so far. The proportions, the different woods, everything fits and looks nicely. When looking at it I get into mood to stop my current project of a 1:200 Flying Cloud and build a mini boat for bottling again. Lets see. Looking forward to see yours bottled. Regards. Harry

[IgorSky]

Hi Harry! 
I'm glad to see you in this log! And of course I hope to look at the construction of your SIB also.
Yesterday I have added some the little detailes. And today I have started to place the boat in bottle.

Best Regarsd!

Hi Igor

 

..ahem...I actually have exactly the same magnifiers!  Damn useful they are, too.

Beautiful !!

Hi Igor

 

Very,very nice! Heaps of character and charm. I especially like the color of the sea, which is somehow reminiscent of a calm Mediterranean sea (turquoise/bluey green).

Yes, Patrick, that's what I tried to achieve

Igor,

 

That is beautiful and amazing.

 

You will have to slow down because I can't keep up with your work - it is so fast! :)  

[IgorSky]

Thank you Jan!

In fact, I made this model for 2 weeks in times their spare of the main project. The design of this boat is very simple and it has a little parts.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.
