A masterpiece, Igor.   I'm always amazed at the detail and the vision you put into your work.

But recently I got the kit of the figures in the scale of 1/72 based on "Treasure Island" by R L Stevenson and the another kit with the set of boat's rowers ...

My thoughts began to move toward the crew manning the boat ... So, too, is nothing special ..

Yeah, I made a mistake :(. The amount of sea is too small for this composition, so there is a lot of empty space at the top of the bottle :(

Hi Igor,

 

Your work is really wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Very inspiring!

 

I hope you don’t mind if i ask: how did you tint the silicone sea? The rubber mixture doesn’t mix well with most colorings. 

 

Also,  I agree with Cog^ - you created a great sense of proportion and drama. Don’t always need to fill up the bottle space with the ship.  

 

Thank you!

I use the pigment for this silicone.
