Thank you Patrick! As often happens, it was made much easier than I thought before.

Hi everyone!

In long time I wanted to try make the basket. Yesterday I have done it. The diametr of this basket 7.5-8 mm.

Many thanks friends for all your comments, feedback and LIKEs!

Best Regards!

Igor.

WOW! Thank you Captain Al!

Next small update - knife of old man ... ... for the cutting sausage with cucumber slice ... ... to cut of tuna or...  to harpoon to shark  ...

Beautiful project. What did you use for sea in the bottle? It is a lovely color and texture!

Nathan

Thank you Nathan!

In this project, I used the colored epoxy resin for the manufacture of basis of the sea. And I used a clear acrylic gel and white acrylic paint for waves and foam.

Just have no words and no breath ! Outstanding!

Many thanks Nenad!

Super nice!

Thank you Patrick!

And the next small update here: one of boxes for fishing lines, several coils of fishing lines, the bottle for water, one more patch on the sail

Sorry for the typos Igor and for not being clear.  I was referring to the end of the story where the Old Man brings in the sword fish and there is nothing left of it but its carcass, or bare bones.  I thought the word for swordfish in Spanish was a "dorad."  So I'm wondering if you will take the story to the conclusion in your diorama.

Hi Captain Al!

Thank you for your clarification, I now understand.

I'm going to show other scene here, which was a little earler.

Hemingway wrote about this episode so:

He was a very big Make shark built to swim as fast as the fastest fish in the sea and everything about him was beautiful except his jaws.

His back was as blue as a sword fish’s and his belly was silver and his hide was smooth and handsome. He was built as a sword fish...

When the old man saw him coming he knew that this was a shark that had no fear at all and would do exactly what he wished. He prepared the harpoon and made the rope fast while he watched the shark come on. The rope was short as it lacked what he had cut away to lash the fish.

The shark closed fast astern and when he hit the fish the old man saw his mouth open and his strange eyes...

Marvellous work, Igor.

 

I can see exactly what you're trying to achieve by the placement of the fish and the Old Man, ie a picture paints a thousand words.

 

Nicely done, as always.

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick!

Many thanks for your feedback!

The next small update - I have did sail and attached it to the mast

Now I can check again the entire composition

I'm so glad I tuned into this log.  Thanks for making my day Igor.  Will be following to the conclusion.  I can't wait to see how you build the carcass if the dorad.

Thank you Captain Al!

I am sorry, but I do not quite understand what it means the phrase "the carcass if the dorad".

Really amazing job Igor.  Can I ask how you did the grating in the bow of the boat as seen in this picture?  Is it some kind of mesh? 

Hi Mike!

Thank you!

This boat was made from kit with the laser cutting detailes.

Beautiful build.

 

Bob

Thank you Bob!

Thank you Elijah!

I could not choose which the scheme of installation of the sail to use, but Spencer Tracy helped me do it

I also have thought that in some places there may be some amount of rust.

It shows the entire process of making the new anchor

Many thanks Patrick!

New harpoon looks so

Thank you Nenad!

All of us on this forum make models. But our models do not tell a story, yours does. This is why this is art, and what the rest of us are doing are mere ... models. Very clever idea Igorsky! I have loved all your previous scratch builds, but a diorama ... in a bottle ... of one of my favourite Hemingway novels surely is the icing on the cake. This is imagination on something which is different to what most of us attempt, and I love it.

Oh, thank you KeithW!

I admire the skill of many of my friends on this forum and, of course, I continue to learn and with them too. The peculiarity of this project for me is that I do not have a precise plan of all process of the building. Many of the ideas come in the construction process. And now I do not know what wiil happen in the end

Two new parts - two variants of an anchor and a harpoon.

P.S. I made these details are not too good, so I'm going to make them again.

Then I installed these details on their places. I also try to make this boat a very old

I also made one more mount for the helm.

Then I blacked out these details
