    Yesterday I have received a two-component silicone and pigment for it. And one of my friends presented me a set of very quality threads.

    Many thanks for your advice Neal! Yes, at first I was going to use the two-component epoxy for the sculpting. But size of this figure is very small and very fragile plastic. So I just dealt a few times this glue and a little shape it during it dries.

    Hi Patrick! What I can say ... Sooner or later we all face with so bad luck... But I'm sure you will soon show us new photos and we will not see any trace of this incident. Best Regards! Igor

    Many thanks Denis! Today is very little updating. I began to change shape old man - to add the clothes and the hat. Unfortunately in during of this process the old man's left arm was broken, and this part was lost. Now I will have to make the new hand for him.

    Hi Piet! It seems to me that the wood of cherry is similar to the wood of pear. Perhaps the bamboo will be more suitable for the manufacture of masts, spars and bowsprit in this scale. I'm looking forward to see the photos in the process. Best Regards! Igor.

    Hi Piet! Be cautious when using the bulb from the lamp - this glass is very fragile and often break down at the most inopportune moment. What type of wood you are going to be used to make boats? I like to use the planks from hard wood such as pear and hornbeam. I really like to do a small size boats. Best Regards! Igor.

    I need the liquid transparent material for the making of the base of the sea. And I wish he did not change its volume when dry. I'll use a transparent acrylic gel for making waves.

    Thank you Neal! Till the final is still far. Usually I am using the epoxy resin for the making of the sea. But this time I decided to try to use a different material. I have ordered the silicone and pigments for it, but I can not get it before the middle of June.

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

    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.

    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

    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...
