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!

How can you see something that small and work on it without losing it?

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.

Igor this model is amazing.

Michael

Many thanks, Michael!

Great work like always, I just love all of that very fine tiny detail that amazes me just to sit back in take it all in, Well Done, ENJOY. 

Regards   Lawrence

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.

Another masterpiece.  Well done Igor!  Thanks for sharing!

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.

My very first attempt at using the fixture was pretty successful.

WOW! Very good idea! Many thanks for sharing, Frank!

Best Regards

Igor.

Well, Igor...just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any smaller, you come up with this teeny tiny beauty!!! 

A little masterpiece! 

Well done. 

Cheers 

Patrick

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

sweet, sweet, Igor, 

what was first, the shaped bottle (flacon), or the idea to find a mini bottle that fits a lighthouse ? 

super work ! 

Nils

Thank you, Nils!

This bottle was me for a long time, but I did not know how to use it.

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.

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.

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.

Sail ... I used a piece of colored tissue paper.

Mast and boom ... I did the parts of the spar traditionally from bamboo

I had handled the sandpaper these parts and in the end I got the boat hull.

Then I made a billet for the underwater part of the hull from the two pieces of the red hornbeam.

Then I made a water line from a piece of white plastic.

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

This is beyond amazing, Igor.  So much detail on such a tiny ship.   Marvelous.

Many thanks, Mark!
