After installing standing rigging, I held out a running rigging. Now all the gear has been carried out. It remains to align the guys with the mast and proceed to the final fixation and trimming of the ends.

Took you a while to get those men in the bottle - should have been two ginies, a lot easier ;)

And again a wonderful built Igor

Amazing work as always Igor.  You are a true master!  Thank you for sharing with us.

 

One question - did you wait a while to cork it to allow the resin to dry?  Just wondering if you’re experience has shown that it’s best to keep the bottle open for a few months before forming.

Hey, Carl!
This time, the genie's help wasn't needed. :)

I'm pretty certain that I would go insane if I attempted this kind of work, which partly explains why I have never attempted anything like it!

Oh, thank you, Chris! But I think you could just try to make an SIB. And I'm sure you could have done it too.

Yes, the bottle has been open for some time, but I use two-component silicone to make the sea. It dries within 24 hours.
