Botik of Peter the Great "St. Nicholas" by IgorSky - FINISHED - BOTTLE - 1/300 Scale

[IgorSky]

Hi to all!
One more of my small and short projects.

You can read the story of this boat HERE

 

So, first, I made the basis of the boat's hull.

[IgorSky]

Then I continued to work with the interior of the boat

 

 

 

[IgorSky]

Then I drew an ornament on the sides of the boat

[IgorSky]

At the same time, I've been trying to make the deadeyes...

[IgorSky]

Then I made the mast and installed the gunwales.

[IgorSky]

Next step - bowsprit

[IgorSky]

Next step - bowsprit

[IgorSky]

Then I drew the decor on the transom

[IgorSky]

Then I continued my sad experiments with the deadeyes

[IgorSky]

Then I made sails

Then, finally, I made a little slipway for my perfume projects

[IgorSky]

I put a model on the slipway and... I decided that there would be no deadeyes in this this time...

[IgorSky]

I made thinner rigging yarns, made new stay ropes, finished the running rigging, added the tiller, the flag on the bowsprit, painted the underwater part with copper and reassembled the whole structure on the slipway

[IgorSky]

Then I took the model off the slipway and stuffed it all into a bottle, applying some silicone sealant to the bottom of the bottle beforehand. I placed the boat's hull diagonally and left it to dry.

Then I put the mast in her place

 

[IgorSky]

Then I placed the bottle on another slipway, pulled out all the gear of the standing and running rigging, fixed their CA, cut off the ends and set the flag in the stern.

[IgorSky]

Then I put the leeboards on the sides of the boat

[IgorSky]

Then I added a couple drops of "sea"

[IgorSky]

And made "the waves" on the surface of "the sea"

[IgorSky]

And some final photos...

Excellent!

[Peter Cane]

Beautiful.

Exquisite modelling.

I am taking all this on board.

Sweet!   I like your miniature slipway also.   Watching SIB's being done is fascinating.

[IgorSky]

Many thanks. GrandpaPhil, Pete and Mark!
That's my third slipway. This device really makes the job easier.
Such small and short projects are sometimes necessary for me to distract myself and test some new technologies.

Beat Regards!
Igor.

What I like about your slipway is you have incorporated eyes at each side to take care of the shrouds and everything port and starboard.

Apart from it being a piece of furniture in itself!!

Glorious to see your hands at work.

My slipway is A la Jack Needham whereas every rope goes fore and I have to tie a series of knots in them to remind me what mast etc etc.

Your method makes far more sense.

Ingenius.
