Hi everyone!

Many thanks for your interest in this project and your LIKEs!

 

The next step - I tried to make a ladder.

The first attempt... It was unsuccessful... (

I've seen a lot bigger ladders (scale wise) that don't look that good.  Great job, Igor.

Thank you Mark!

 

As you can see I was able to make this ladder only the third attempt ((.

Theoretically, I could have done this ladder of thin plastic, but I try to maintain the certain style of the model and I think the plastic ladder was be irrelevantly in this cause.

 

Meanwhile, I continue the my build.

The next stage - the making of handrails along the hull sides. I again used the photoetched parts with the wooden stanchions.

Igor,

 

She really is coming to life ... I expect that you won't see big mistakes, because they are to big to see, so we can only see the small mistakes - which you do not make, at least you haven't shown any as jet!!! Truly magnificent

The boats were made earlier. Now it is the turn of davits. The size of the bottle's open would not allow to place the upper part hull together with the established the lifeboats, davits therefore will be installed in its place in the bottle.

I continue to work with all sorts of small details

Chimney pipe ... theoretically in time of moving under sail, it must be in the retracted position, but the client (aka the wife and namesake vessel) wished pipe in working condition ...

Just unbelievable Igor.  I love the chimney with the piping and its other associated details.  The ships boats are mighty fine, as well.

 

Love it all.

 

Cheers

I have to keep reminding myself that this is really tiny and going in a bottle.   This would look great at any size.
