    Hi Carl! I am glad to hear you again! Yes, everything is as usual - my giant matchstick and a giant hand specially for the photo The legend for this project is gradually being created. I guess it will be three pirates who swim to the island to hide the treasure chest . Right now, I'm making the chest. Best Regards! Igor.

    Hi HOF! I'm going to use a 0.5 or 0.7 liter bottle with a vertical arrangement. I'll show the photos of the bottles a little later.

    The next stage is the manufacture of the helm and hinges for its attachment to the boat.

    Then I again checked the location of the crew.
  5. IgorSky
    The next step is assembling on the shipway and rigging check.

    Then I painted the gunwale and the bar with diluted black acrylic water and once again walked across the plank with bituminous varnish diluted with white spirit.

    Then I installed additional rims and ducks for wiring and fixing the rigging.

    Welcome Javier! Amazing work!

    Hola Javier! The good start to your build! I look forward to the continuation! I also saw your model La Perla in Facebook. Amazing work!

    Oh, thank you, Nils!

    I again disassembled the entire structure to continue working with the hull of the boat. Here the mast with sails is almost complete.

    Hi Nils! Many thank for your fedback! Yes, and boat and figures are in scale 1:72.

    Installation of main sail ...

    Making of the front sail

    Continuation of work with standing rigging

    First, for the assembly of the model, I glued a double-sided scotch to the boat support onto the timber bar. Then I realized that it's easier to make another normal slipway

    Deadeyes I made round blanks. Glued them in pairs. Then I sanded them with the sandpaper and attached the guys. Then I drilled holes.
  19. IgorSky
    The next stage is the making of the mast attachment to the bench. Staples of thin sheet brass. Pins made of wire with glued washers.
  20. IgorSky
    Then I painted the boat and the mast with a diluted bitumen lacquer. I also use it for tinting sails and rigging yarns, if necessary.
  21. IgorSky
    Masting and sails. Masting of bamboo, sails made of percale with imitation of seams.
  22. IgorSky
    Between the matter I cut a couple of oars and tried the figurines :). Because my bottle does not allow to make a version with oars, the oars will just lie in the boat, but I will have to make a mast with a sail.
  23. IgorSky
    As a result, I received two halves of the boat.
  24. IgorSky
    Then I glued the planks.

    Hello to all! One of my current projects is a boat in a bottle. As a basis, I took a set for the construction of a boat from LAK-Design. This boat is on the 91st scale, but I plan to place a crew there, so it will be adapted to the 72nd scale. So, a pair of keel frames from the pear 0.7-0.8 mm was prepared in advance and I proceeded to assemble this kit. First I prepared a "skeleton" from a double keel frame, frames and conductor.

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.
