Now I was able to start assembling the model in a bottle. First, I installed and glued the engine room.
-
Then I set the upper part of the body in its place, added a little glue and tightly pressed her to the bottom part of the hull.
-
I also lifted up the boats and drawed rigging scheme I also made one additional tool to work with standing rigging
-
As you remember, I set on the deck several lifting eyes for fixing the rigging. Lifting eyes have a hole diameter of 0.2-0.3 mm. Since I'm going to put the mast in the bottle separatly from the hull, it will be quite a difficult task to stretch the thread through the lifting eyes. So I decided to insert the temporary loops from threads into them.

Meanwhile, I continued the preparatory works. So, I added some quantity of the gel to increase the size of the waves. I also made this tool for drawing of foam

Hi, Patrick! I am glad to hear you again! Many thanks! I would say that this model is a good school for me. I was able to check out a lot of my ideas, technical solutions and technologies. Of course, I could not avoid some mistakes, but I hope that the experience of this project will allow me to avoid them in the future. So, we go ahead I then installed the davits complete with the lifeboats and began compiling the assembly diagrams and marking of the ends of the rigging

And, finally, I was able to proceed with the final assembly at the stand. Assembling was carried out in the same order in which it will be made later in the bottle. At this stage I revealed some mistakes that are likely to affect the assembly in the bottle, but ... something to alter it's too late Although, of course, I will try to fix some of them. For example, I'm going again attach ladder to the bridge and I will to lift up the lifeboats. So, first I installed the rear mast, the engine room and the bridge.

Hi, Carl! Many thanks! The handrails in front part of the hull were broken off several times in the process of the work, because I glued them too early
-
Then I laid anchor chains from the deck hawse through the windlass to the steam winch. They especially will not noticeable, but let them be
-
I also added the waves in remote places of the bottle, to which had not got around and added a little "waviness" in the field of foam crests.
-
Then finally were glued on the bridge the steering wheel, binnacle and negotiation pipes
