Thank you Patrick! Yes, I suggested my wife to choose the bottle from several options and she chose my favorite bottle. I could not refuse.

Hi everyone! During the 5 days I was away, so there you can see quite a small update here. Best Regards! Igor.

Yes Patrick, it is only the upper part of the hull. As it turned out, the bottleneck is not quite round. But I have thought about the other bottle for this ship.
-
The next step - I have completed of gluing the planks to the bottom part of the hull. And now I will have a lot of fun - sanding, sanding and again sanding

Hi Harry, )) I buy these wooden rulers and often I am using them for making hulls. It's quite cheap. Tree is well dried. They are very smooth. Construction is not as fast as I want (( Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick! This is only the first stage of the construction of the deck. I'll show you what I did with the deck afterward. Best Regards! Igor.

Thank you Bob! The next stage - the deck. The important point - the first deck plank should be glued exactly in the center of the deck

Hi Patrick, Many years ago I have started to make the model of this ship. But at that time I have done too large hull and could not find a bottle for him. This hull lies in my bookcase now. The name of my wife is Lena also So, I begin. The first stage does not differ from other models. The housing consists of several wooden plates.

Some time ago I promised my wife to make for her a ship in a bottle larger sizes than previously made. I begin to fulfill a promise - it will the model of the steam schooner with the glorious history and the symbolic name "LENA". History: The wind power meets the power of steam in late 1800’s . In this period of maritime history, a hybrid generation of ships appeared combining these two. They kept the glory of sail ships and added independency from wind. Lena is a little steam schooner like that. She was launched in 1875 in Sweden by Motala. She was 26.8m long, 4.95m wide and 2.59m deep. While sailing by wind, the funnel tilts back so that the sail boom can move freely. She has an interesting story beginning with Nils Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld’s polar expedition. She joined the expedition as an auxiliary ship up to a point. She took part in Russian revolutions. She was reconstructed several times. Once in 1938. She was extended two meters in length, a new boiler was installed and living quarters were rebuilt. In 1959, she was planned to be reserved as a historical vessel. But the attempts failed in 1967, the damage she suffered was beyond repair. But the model ship builders will help her to live forever. - by Captain from Free Ship Plans Best REgards! Igor.

Thanks Nigel and Patrick! I have ordered the tree for pedestal and I need wait when I can get it. Maybe next weekend I'll pour the sea into the bottle so as not to waste time. Best Regards! Igor. P.S. And I started another project of the SIB on Saturday.
