Hello guys, I just joined the forums today and would like to share my sib build. Now please hold back any rude and unnecessary comments, this is my very first ship in a bottle build. I am a novice wood carver, I first started carving faces in trees about 8 years ago. From what I seen so far from sib builders is that their level of detail and craftsman"ship" far exceeds the skills needed to carve faces in trees. I would love to be a part of this group. I took some pictures of my project so far and I came across a hiccup. I would like to shape the ship to represent a real ship. With faces, I'm allowed to wing it. And I started doing that with this, trying to make sure the hull fills up a good portion of the bottle. The hull fits snugly in the bottle neck and there should be enough room to add railing and hinged masts on top of the deck. What I would like to hear is some suggests of ships that I should attemp to build and which one best represent the shape and style of the hull I got semi completed. Also which one would fill the bottle up nicely.
