    Then I started to do the second anchor. P.S. My first anchor disappeared during this process.

    Next item is anchor. It was the first attempt to make an anchor using the PE parts. I cut off the excess metal to get the right size. Then I glued parts and processed the anchor using needle file. And I painted him.

    Many thanks, Lawrence, Patrick, David, Michael, Nenad and all whom is interesting this project! Oh, David, of course, from time to time some details disappear right before my eyes. So, I continue. I made another the running light, but with the red color.

    Today's small update - another attempt to make the running lights.

    Many thanks, Michael!

    Many thanks, Lawrence! After a long break, I again continue to work with this project. Yesterday, I decided to use new bottle. Since I need to continue my experiments with the using of silicone for the manufacture of the sea, I think that this shape of the bottle best suits my needs. Best Regards! Igor.

    Oh, Michael! I hope that soon everything will be okay with your leg, and I wish you a speedy recovery! With my best wishes! Igor.

    Many thanks, Mike! Have a nice day and good luck to you!

    Many thanks all who was enjoying this mini-project! Subject of miniaturization long been interested in me. And gradually I am moving in this direction. In the course of this project I had some new ideas that I will check later. However, already a need to find other materials and other tools, other methods. Thank you for your feedback, the words of encouragement and your interest! Best Regards! Igor.

    WOW! Very good idea! Many thanks for sharing, Frank! Best Regards Igor.

    Many thanks, Patrick! Each time, I also think that I has reached the limit... But then it turns out that we can go a bit further

    Thank you, Nils! This bottle was me for a long time, but I did not know how to use it.
  13. IgorSky
    Then I put the cork and sealed it. All - this model is complete!

    After complete drying of the sea, I inserted the mast with folded front sail into the throat of bottle. Then I expand the front sail and glued its corner to the bowsprit.
  15. IgorSky
    I made the sea from two-component colorized silicone. This was my first attempt to use this material. I poured a few drops of the mixture in the bottle and after a few hours, when the mixture was a little dry, I put the hull of the boat in the sea.

    Lighthouse ... I carved it out of bamboo and colored paint. Then I did the rock from epoksilin. I also cutted out parts of the pedestal from the pieces of pear.
  17. IgorSky
    The nameplate ... I printed it on a printer, laminated tape and glued to 0.5 mm veneer. Then I made the frame from pear strips 0.5x0.5 mm and handled fine sandpaper.
  18. IgorSky
    Sail ... I used a piece of colored tissue paper.
  19. IgorSky
    Mast and boom ... I did the parts of the spar traditionally from bamboo
  20. IgorSky
    I had handled the sandpaper these parts and in the end I got the boat hull.
  21. IgorSky
    Then I made a billet for the underwater part of the hull from the two pieces of the red hornbeam.
  22. IgorSky
    Then I made a water line from a piece of white plastic.
  23. IgorSky
    Choosing a boat and lighthouse prototypes came somehow by itself - I like this combination in a long time and I even tried to draw them. So, I started this project with the building of boat. Based on the size of the interior space, the scale is around 1/3000. I started to build a boat in almost the same technology as the rest of my models. First I made the deck from several small strips of pear, which I previously whittle away with sandpaper to 0.3 mm. The deck is also the basis for the above-water part of the body. Then I glued the boards of black hornbeam.

    Hi everyones! First of all I want to thank to Piet. His miniature diorama in some way inspired me to this mini project. From time to time I have a desire to try their skills in the direction of further miniaturization of shipbuilding in bottles. Here, a short history of one of these small projects. The flask with strange shapes, reminiscent of a heart with an asymmetrical arrangement of the neck, lying in a drawer of my desk for a long time, but I did not have any specific ideas for using it as a receptacle for the construction of a model in a bottle ... And then ... As always, the idea came unexpectedly - sea, rock, lighthouse, boat. On this photo this flask is in the center

    Many thanks, Mark!

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.
