Boat by IgorSky - FINISHED - LAK-Design - 1/72 scale - BOTTLE

[IgorSky]

I started the assembly with the lock. Then I painted the chest with bituminous lacquer. Then I installed metal bands with loops, a latch, a lock loop and hung a lock

And the try-on in the boat

I think that only the captain knows about the contents of the chest

Yesterday I painted pirate figures. This was practically my first experience of painting figures. Figures from kit by Alexminiatures. At one of the figures I changed the position of the hands. Then I covered them with a primer from the ballon. Then I painted them with brushes.

Because pirates are going to the island to hide the treasure chest, they need a shovel.

 

[Omega1234]

Hey Igor 

 

I’m really digging your shovel!  Sorry, bad joke there...😉

 

Top job, as always.

 

Cheers.

Then I made a couple more bottles of rum

 

[IgorSky]

Then I coined some gold doubloons and piastres

[John Allen]

Igor,

 

You never cease to surprise. The boat, painting of the figures (perfect), to all the accessories.

You get 2 Kudos

Then I again assembled the model on the slipway for the final check of all the elements.

 

[IgorSky]

Then I took everything to pieces again.

 

 

[IgorSky]

Then I washed and dried the bottle

 

[IgorSky]

And now the time has come when I started the process of moving the model to the bottle!

 

[IgorSky]

Then I installed the benches on their seats.

After assembling the hull of the boat, I proceeded to pour the "sea". First I prepared the silicone. And I checked how the captain would sit down in his place.

 

[IgorSky]

Then I hung the boat with the threads and filled the silicone into bottle.
The fill of the "sea" was made in the evening. In the morning, the silicone was already half-set, but it was found that, due to the leakage of the seam between the halves of the boat, some of the silicone seeped into the boat. I had to spend a couple of hours "scooping up" the "water" from the boat. The last photo was made during this process.

Then I proceeded to form a light ripple on the surface of the water.
