    Many thanks Nils and Mark for your comments! I do not know how will this project in its final form. New ideas and solutions come in the course of buiilding. Next step - I did not like the details fixing the mast and decided to make they more similar to the real one. I used brass 0.1 mm for the manufacture of new parts.

    I made the blanks for the manufacture of mast and booms.

    I am not really like the way I have painted my fishes, but now I put them away and I started to improve the boat.

    Thank you Denis, Nenad and Patrick! Patrich, I'm sorry, but I did not make photos during the building of the boat. But this is a common boat from the kit.

    Then I have painted the shark

    At this point, I decided to check the overall composition and arrangement of the elements of this story.

    I decided to do the shark in motion
  8. IgorSky
    Now I need to make the shark mako It seems that this shark needs still in a couple of visits to the dentist

    Next - priming, sanding and finally painting the Fish
  10. IgorSky
    Then I continued to work with the Fish - plaster, processing, making of "sword"

    Next, I found a few photos marlin and mako sharks in the Internet, again have read "The Old Man and the Sea" to refresh in memory details and started this project. The first step is the making blank for Fish and I began to remodel the existing figure of the captain Smollett in the old man.

    I was tormented by doubts for some time, but at some point I put the bottle, the boat and one of the figures and ... EUREKA !!! I saw a very old boat and the old Fisherman's ... My imagination added the fish, tied to the boat and a shark in the water close to the boat ... Of course, this should be a scene from book "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway and nothing else.
  13. IgorSky
    But recently I got the kit of the figures in the scale of 1/72 based on "Treasure Island" by R L Stevenson and the another kit with the set of boat's rowers ... My thoughts began to move toward the crew manning the boat ... So, too, is nothing special ..

    Hi to all! So, one more of my projects here ... But at first, we come back at some time ago. Several years ago I built a boat in the 72-m-wide while staying on vacation. By the way, it is very convenient - you have the small kit, minimum of tools and you not lose your time on vacation. This boat was on the shelf of my bookcase since. About a year ago I had got the empty bottle of Japanese whiskey with a fairly wide neck (25 mm). And this boat could be held a the throat of this bottle . But nothing were occurred to anything but banal theme: rearmament boat spars, rigging and sails, and the replacing it all in a bottle. In general, anything interesting either in technical or in artistic terms And I continued to explore possible options for upgrade the boat…

  16. IgorSky
    Yes, Patrick, I'm going to open the build log, but a little later.
  17. IgorSky
    Bravo, Bob! You started using a high-tech in your build! Best Regards! Igor.
  18. IgorSky
    Yes, Patrick, the solution of complex tasks increases the pleasure of working I now have a small pause in the construction of the "Lena". But I started another project in the bottle. This is the story based on the novel Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea." Best Regards! Igor.
