Good morning Igor, just catching up, your work and skill at this scale is simply incredible. every time i check in I am not only amazed but also learn some new way of accomplishing some detail.

Good morning Michael and many thanks for your feedback!
Every time I come up with a way to do something new, I'm also not quite sure about the result. So I'm just trying to do it. Sometimes the result justifies expectations, but sometimes I have to look for another solution. But this, of course, is an interesting and fascinating process :)

I believe this is the main reason that keeps me involved in the hobby, although I prefer to work at a larger scale this same principle holds, and the great thing is that so many of the ideas that get shared on this forum are transferable from scale to scale.

Yes, it is so, Michael!
Often it is necessary to seek a compromise between the size of the part, the authentic appearance, strength and the ability to use this part in the design, taking into account the subsequent assembly of the model in the bottle. And sometimes it seems that you have already reached a certain limit .... But then it turns out that a small change in the design or technology of making a part essentially pushes this limit :)

Then I made a couple of belaying pin planks for the stern of the boat and installed them in their places. Then I tried to stretch a loop from the thread between the plank and the board. In the future, I plan to use such loops to guide rigging in hard-to-reach places inside the bottle
