Lord Nelson Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've been building SIB's since 1982. I'm a member of SIBs Association of America and the SIB builders group on Facebook Gwyl Blaser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyl Blaser Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Lord Nelson, Welcome to BSB. It looks like you have been at this just a few years longer than I have. My first SIB was completed in 1986. What ship(s), projects are you currently working on? Gwyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nelson Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have the Amati kit Golden Yacht, and a plastic model of the Great Western that I want to convert to a bottle ship. My 2 most recent ships were a small Lego kit of the Black Pearl that I put together in a bottle and a plastic model of a game ship that I converted to a ship in a bottle. That one I did for the Fanasy build on Facebook and is featured in the Bottle Shipwright and on the web of Folk art in bottles. I have not worked on the builds for a while because I've been busy painting pictures in acrylic paint. I seem to go in spurts on different projects.

Gwyl Blaser Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 It sounds like you have been busy. I too, seem to sometimes work in spurts. I am very interested in the kits you want to convert into SIB's. It sounds intriguing. The Amati Golden Yacht is a classic to me. I have always been drawn to the lines of this old personal royal yacht style. Gwyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Good to have you here Nelson. I enjoy seeing your work. I especially liked the ship you did for the fantasy build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
