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!

 

-Josh

Many thanks for your feedback, Josh!
I use the pigment for this silicone.

Many thanks for all your feedbacks and LIKEs, friends!

second version?.....how can you improve your first masterpiece?   love the name plate........puts the finishing touch to a lovely model.

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

Amazing work as always Igor.  You are a true master!  Thank you for sharing with us.

 

One question - did you wait a while to cork it to allow the resin to dry?  Just wondering if you’re experience has shown that it’s best to keep the bottle open for a few months before forming.  

Many thanks, Mike!
Yes, the bottle has been open for some time, but I use two-component silicone to make the sea. It dries within 24 hours.

I'm pretty certain that I would go insane if I attempted this kind of work, which partly explains why I have never attempted anything like it!

Oh, thank you, Chris! But I think you could just try to make an SIB. And I'm sure you could have done it too.

Took you a while to get those men in the bottle - should have been two ginies, a lot easier

And again a wonderful built Igor

Hey, Carl!
This time, the genie's help wasn't needed.

My best wishes to you in New Year!

Hello to all!
Many thanks for all your feedbacks and LIKE!
A few days ago I finished this project too.

P.S. I put this model in a glass cabinet and started looking for a new bottle for the second version of this diorama.

So, I put a cork in the bottle's throat. Now this job is complete ..

And a few final photos...

Then I needed to do the wiring for all the rigging, fasten them and trim the ends.

Then I installed the mast...

Hi to all!
So, the next stage is to place the surface of the case in the bottle, install it in place, bring the ends of the rigging out..

In a bottle???

Yes, of course, Carl!
I have three bottles of perfume Chanel round shape and different size. I want to make a series of three boats by Eric Tabarly. But now I have drawings only Pen Duick I.

Well done, Reci!
My congrats! 
I am also going to make a model of this yacht.

Best Regards!
Igor.

Nice work. Your builds fall into the tutorial class easily.   Well done builds and you show us how.  

Many thanks, Mark!

Hi Michael, druxey, Carl, Patrick and all who liked this project!

Many thanks for your feedbacks!

The next stage - I placed the underwater part of the hull in a bottle, poured silicone, formed a ripple and foam from acrylic gel and white paint.

Best Regards!
Igor.

Many thanks for yours feedback!
So I cleaned and cleaned the bottle again. Then I determined the volume of the future sea.  I also finally fixed some parts of the rigging and cut off their free ends.  In general, I carried out a final check of all elements of the model before the process of filling up.  And finally, I disassembled the model into parts, at the same time drawing up an assembly diagram and marking the threads.

What can I say outstanding.

Thank you, John!

Hello to all!
So ... The boat stood on the shipway during almost a year in anticipation of the process of placing in the bottle. About a month ago, I returned from vacation and, in the remaining few days before going to work, I, nevertheless, poured the sea, put the parts of the hull in a bottle and ... In general, as of sundays evening, everything looked like this -

I'm going to tell about the process of moving the model into the bottle a little later.
 

Best Regards!
Igor.
