Hello to all!
One of my current projects is a boat in a bottle.
As a basis, I took a set for the construction of a boat from LAK-Design. This boat is on the 91st scale, but I plan to place a crew there, so it will be adapted to the 72nd scale.
So, a pair of keel frames from the pear 0.7-0.8 mm was prepared in advance and I proceeded to assemble this kit.
First I prepared a "skeleton" from a double keel frame, frames and conductor.

Between the matter I cut a couple of oars and tried the figurines :).
Because my bottle does not allow to make a version with oars, the oars will just lie in the boat, but I will have to make a mast with a sail.

Then I painted the boat and the mast with a diluted bitumen lacquer. I also use it for tinting sails and rigging yarns, if necessary.

The next stage is the making of the mast attachment to the bench. Staples of thin sheet brass. Pins made of wire with glued washers.

I made round blanks. Glued them in pairs. Then I sanded them with the sandpaper and attached the guys. Then I drilled holes.

First, for the assembly of the model, I glued a double-sided scotch to the boat support onto the timber bar. Then I realized that it's easier to make another normal slipway :)

Hi Nils!
Many thank for your fedback! Yes, and boat and figures are in scale 1:72.

I again disassembled the entire structure to continue working with the hull of the boat. Here the mast with sails is almost complete.

Then I painted the gunwale and the bar with diluted black acrylic water and once again walked across the plank with bituminous varnish diluted with white spirit.

I see you still have that giant matchstick and blow up hand ;)

 

Glad I caught you in the act of still constructing this little marvel. You really do not cease to amaze me with you miniature builds. Maybe for another model, you could have the oars tossed (upright) , and have an admiral in the stern seats ...

Awesome!!

How big is the bottle?

 

Cheers....HOF.

Hi HOF!
I'm going to use a 0.5 or 0.7 liter bottle with a vertical arrangement. I'll show the photos of the bottles a little later.

Hi Carl!
I am glad to hear you again!
Yes, everything is as usual - my giant matchstick and a giant hand specially for the photo :)
 The legend for this project is gradually being created. I guess it will be three pirates who swim to the island to hide the treasure chest :). Right now, I'm making the chest.

Best Regards!
Igor.

Amazing work as always Igor.  The amount of detail you can put in at such a small scale is incredible.  Nice job!

Chest ... In a boat with pirates there must be a treasure chest :)
First I made a chest. Then I prepared all the metal parts and blackened them.
