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.

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…

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.

Many thanks Mark! I wanted to make a traditional braided cord neck bottle, but could not find a suitable cord. So I decided to make the easiest way. So on Saturday I finished this project and the boat went to place of parking of whole my fleet.

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.
