Hi David,

 

I use these threads for rigging

 

 

And I used for this model the planks of the light pears (0.5x0.5 mm, 0.5x0.8 mm, 0.5x1.2 mm), the planks of the pink pears and bamboo toothpick

I knew google couldn't translate Russian, it's Dutch translations are just as horrific!! That needs some serious interpretation ...!!! Thanks Igorski

Nice rigging! One query though. As the bottle has the swirl pattern on it, would the visibility of the ship be impeded?

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick,

One side of the bottle made of smooth glass.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

[Omega1234]

Ahh. Ok. Makes sense, then. Thanks Igor.

This is absolutely amazing! I'm definitely going to pick up some inspiration from you, Igor!

[IgorSky]

Thank you Chrome! ))

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your interest in this project and your Likes!

Weekend is a perfect time for a hobby!

So you can see the photos of the next steps below.

 

I finally glue the ends of the standing rigging to hull:

 

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

The next step - I made the sea and I have put in the bottle the lower part of the hull.

The next step - I carefully pasted and glued all elements of the deck and prepared the upper part of the hull to the placing in the bottle

 

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

Finally, came the most important stage - I put the ship to the bottle

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

Next, I need to set the upper part of the hull on its lower part, to raise the mast and to pull the rigging.

 

 

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

The next step - I pulled, glued and cut the threads of the running rigging. I used a small tool that was made for this project.

Cork ... every time you want to come up with something original... but do not always succeed ... ))

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now needs just hang seal.

[UpstateNY]

Hi Igor,

 

So another of your small jewels is complete and at rest in her bottle, other than the seal of course!  Really enjoyed this build and love the look of the "waves" in the bottle.  Seems to allow the ship herself to stand out more.

 

Lovely work and congratulations!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Hi Igor

 

I see it...but, I still don't believe it!!!  How you can do these tiny boats and keep track of the rigging in the bottle is amazing.

 

Lovely stuff.

 

Cheers

Thank you Nigel and Patrick!

Igor,

 

I've tried to work small, but you really make exteraordinairy tiny builds ... and the wonderful thing is, they still look like ships/boats ... I don't know how you manage to realise such a feat ...

[IgorSky]

Hi Carl!

Many thanks for good words!

I think really it just looks so complicated, but it's not very difficult. All you need to do - just try to do it. And I am sure that you will do it also succesfully.

 

Best Regards!

Igor.

A beautiful boat and a great job. I like your stopper design.

Thank you Bob!

He does it again! 

 

Amazing work Igor.

[IgorSky]

Thank you Jan! ))

[Omega1234]

Well done, Igor!!

[IgorSky]

Thanks Patrick! ))

Another major bottle build, Igor. Very well done. Love the bottle too. Maybe you could blow your own bottles before starting abuild ... All home made ships in bottles

[IgorSky]

Thank you Carl!
But I'm not sure that I understand correctly, this expression - blow your own bottles (( Sorry, my English is not very well ((

[cog]

Igor

 

Your English is very good, you just do not know all the expressions, which is normal. A blown bottle or glass, used to be made by people blowing on pipe with glass at the end, thus forming a baloon shape which could be used for lamps, bottles, and other glass objects. Nowadays it's done by machines, which make every bottle identical, and are less a health hassard
