[IgorSky]

It shows the entire process of making the new anchor

 

 

 

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

I also have thought that in some places there may be some amount of rust.

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

I could not choose which the scheme of installation of the sail to use, but Spencer Tracy helped me do it

 

 

[Elijah]

Wow! This is an awesome idea! You are doing a great job!

[IgorSky]

Thank you Elijah!

I'm so glad I tuned into this log.  Thanks for making my day Igor.  Will be following to the conclusion.  I can't wait to see how you build the carcass if the dorad.

Then I installed these details on their places. I also try to make this boat a very old

Really amazing job Igor.  Can I ask how you did the grating in the bow of the boat as seen in this picture?  Is it some kind of mesh? 

[IgorSky]

Beautiful build.

Thank you Bob!

Hi Mike!

Thank you!

This boat was made from kit with the laser cutting detailes.

Thank you Captain Al!

 

I am sorry, but I do not quite understand what it means the phrase "the carcass if the dorad".

[IgorSky]

The next small update - I have did sail and attached it to the mast

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I can check again the entire composition

Marvellous work, Igor.

 

I can see exactly what you're trying to achieve by the placement of the fish and the Old Man, ie a picture paints a thousand words.

 

Nicely done, as always.

 

Cheers

Sorry for the typos Igor and for not being clear.  I was referring to the end of the story where the Old Man brings in the sword fish and there is nothing left of it but its carcass, or bare bones.  I thought the word for swordfish in Spanish was a "dorad."  So I'm wondering if you will take the story to the conclusion in your diorama.

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...

[IgorSky]

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

Many thanks Nenad!

[Captain Al]

Just wanted to say thanks again for providing us with these images.  You're extremely skilled and creative.  To add, Old Man is one of my favorites all time and I have a first edition copy.  A treasure.

[Captain Al]

My photography could be better, but here you are:

[IgorSky]

WOW! Thank you Captain Al!

Next small update - knife of old man ... ... for the cutting sausage with cucumber slice ... ... to cut of tuna or...  to harpoon to shark  ...

Just amazing, Igor.   Your ships in a bottle are detailed but this is going beyond detailed.  I'm,just fascinated by it.

[Piet]

Just caught up with your new bottle build Igor.  I have been much too busy with house and yard work leaving me very little time for MSW.

What a great idea and what great work you have done so far. 

 

Cheers,

[IgorSky]

Many thanks friends for all your comments, feedback and LIKEs!

 

Best Regards!

Igor.
