Bottled Ship Builder

HMS Trincomalee

Recommended Posts

Lifeboat hooked up to the davits then get the deck on. I try to offer the deck in one piece through the neck of the bottle,

usually by steaming the thin veneer(deck) and then forcing it through. Most times it works without splitting by it does sometimes warp the veneer a bit.

Glued the stern surround complete with ships lanterns.

Introduced the mizzen mast and fixed it in place. Hope to maybe finish her this weekend.

Hasn't been all plain sailing(forgive the pun).The foremast actually turned out

to be the most difficult to get in place probably because the angles inside the

bottle are greater at that point. Rat lines were difficult to attach to the hull and the two anchors 

even more so. Foresail just wouldn't go into the right position so I guess the miniature able seaman

in charge of that sail has been disciplined by the captain!-_- Added a few cannons but they are not

really to scale as of course neither is the ship as the masts should be much taller.
