Then I took the model off the slipway and stuffed it all into a bottle, applying some silicone sealant to the bottom of the bottle beforehand. I placed the boat's hull diagonally and left it to dry.

I made thinner rigging yarns, made new stay ropes, finished the running rigging, added the tiller, the flag on the bowsprit, painted the underwater part with copper and reassembled the whole structure on the slipway

I put a model on the slipway and... I decided that there would be no deadeyes in this this time...

Then, finally, I made a little slipway for my perfume projects

Then I made sails

Then I continued my sad experiments with the deadeyes

Then I drew the decor on the transom

Next step - bowsprit

Next step - bowsprit

Then I made the mast and installed the gunwales.

At the same time, I've been trying to make the deadeyes...

Then I drew an ornament on the sides of the boat

Then I continued to work with the interior of the boat

Hi to all!
One more of my small and short projects.

You can read the story of this boat HERE

So, first, I made the basis of the boat's hull.

Hi all, 

And thanks for making me very welcome to the forum,I'm sure I shall learn new skills a long the way and new friends  to help me where I go wrong ( I hope so ) 

I did make something in the past before moving on to something a bit larger and this is it ( Built in 1976 in Gutersloh) I think it's the Golden Hind . Please tell me what you think gents ?

Welcome, Niallmhor!
Now you're still building ships in bottles?

Best Regards!
Igor.

Pray...what do you use for masts?

Please do not say wood!!! Ha ha.

Hi Pete!
Thank you!
Yeah, it's bamboo. I often use this kind of tree if I need to get thin masts and spar parts.

I think the wise man knows that most of the time there are no limits. 

We set our own limits when we say we can't do anything before we try to do it...

I can see my HMS Beagle going in a box and not in a bottle.

Think its time to start again but this time with a drawing.

Why, Pete? Is there a problem?

Best Regards!
Igor.

P.S. There's a forum for bottled shipbuilders. And group in FB too.

Amazing work, Javier!

Best Regards!

Then I put the upper part of the hull in the bottle and put it in her place with the addition of glue.

Then I took off the mastes with the parts of the rigging and installed the davits with the boats

Then the wiring diagram of the rigging inside the bottle was drawn up and the davits were slightly improved 

Then I flooded the "sea" and made a second boat.

Very nice model and amazing detailed!
My congrats, Thanasis!

Igor.

So, the next step - I set up a model on the slipway.

Right down to the sails which are bang on the right colours and not just stuck on but with tiny mast rings toboot. The list is endless.

By the way, Pete, you can see the sail making process here -  https://modelshipworld.com/topic/15797-pilot-cutter-jolie-brise-by-igorsky-finished-bottle-scale-1240/page/2/

Sorry....I am late to the party.

I am totally gob smacked with your model SIB.

I do not know you but looking at the incredible tiny details of this fully planked and decked ship I do know that I am witnessing world master class SIB modelling.

I have the old Jack Needham book which is good but compared to what you are doing it doesnt come near.

If you have not already, please write a book on it including this model.

Your build has taught me so much already.

Your are in another league.

Right down to the sails which are bang on the right colours and not just stuck on but with tiny mast rings toboot. The list is endless.

Absolutely totally awesome.

I have never seen anything like it.

Thank you my master.

Pete

Many thanks for your feedback, Pete! 

My home library has several books by different authors about making ships in a bottle. But in these books there are usually only basics and simple examples. So don't limit yourself to books! Communicate with colleagues, fantasize, try to do things that seem impossible at first. 

Best regards and good luck!

Igor.

P.S. Write a book? I have another idea!
