I don't think so. I think you are trying to see how you can best get it in it's bottle :D

Yes, Carl, I'm trying to understand, but I do not have confidence yet...

You will, I know you will ... just don't squeeze it in ;) You might try a bottle with a wide neck ..

What is causing the uncertainty? So far you have slid quite a few ships in different ssized bottles ... I would expect you slide this one in just as smoothly ...

Hi Carl!
I added a few new items in the rigging of this model. This leads to complicating the process of assembling the model in a bottle.

Why do things easy when you can make it complicated ...

 

So you revert the changes and slide it in the bottle, or keep the elaborate rigging and look for a sublime solution ... As I do not know the specifics of the problem, I cannot - unfortunately - make my limited brain capacity available to you ...

 

Hope things work out though

Hello to all!
So ... The boat stood on the shipway during almost a year in anticipation of the process of placing in the bottle. About a month ago, I returned from vacation and, in the remaining few days before going to work, I, nevertheless, poured the sea, put the parts of the hull in a bottle and ... In general, as of sundays evening, everything looked like this -

I'm going to tell about the process of moving the model into the bottle a little later.
 

Best Regards!
Igor.

Igor that looks wonderful! If you have too many of these small models and they are filling up your display space you can always send it to me, I would send you my address if you need it.  Please!

ONLY ONE SINGLE PICTURE!?!?!?!? In a year's time ...!? You have been on vacation mate. Must have been well worth it for leaving such a sweet model gathering dust ... Hope you did have a good vacation ... that you are well rested for new model challenges ...

 

I'm looking forward to see more of this wonderful model and learn how you got the genie in the bottle ...

 

Cheers mate

Many thanks for yours feedback!
So I cleaned and cleaned the bottle again. Then I determined the volume of the future sea.  I also finally fixed some parts of the rigging and cut off their free ends.  In general, I carried out a final check of all elements of the model before the process of filling up.  And finally, I disassembled the model into parts, at the same time drawing up an assembly diagram and marking the threads.

I am amazed that you can keep track of all that looking at you diagrams. the ship out of the bottle looks incredible.

Hi Michael, druxey, Carl, Patrick and all who liked this project!

Many thanks for your feedbacks!

 

The next stage - I placed the underwater part of the hull in a bottle, poured silicone, formed a ripple and foam from acrylic gel and white paint.

Nice work. Your builds fall into the tutorial class easily.   Well done builds and you show us how.

Hi to all!
So, the next stage is to place the surface of the case in the bottle, install it in place, bring the ends of the rigging out..
