Shipbuilder Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Look at this! Someone sent me the link, and it is a really good example of a SIB.

Raindog Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Oddly enough I'm building a four master like this at the moment. I can't guarantee it'll be anything as good as this one, but those photos will help me with some of the detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbuilder Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Which one are you building? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 It's a 'Generic' four masted ship I haven't tried modelling particular vessels yet, but that will come, I'm sure. If I model a particular ship, it will have the advantage of photos and info which are reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbuilder Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Lord Wolseley, 1883. Typical four-masted barque. Quite complicated for a bottle! Bob ModelsInBottles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hehehe! That reminds me, I must buy another thousand yards of Cotton. I can, at least, copy it's paintwork Joking aside, I think I'll make an attempt at doing some extra rigging. Some of the standing rigging would be relatively easy to do (I hope!).

Alex Bellinger Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is a very interesting site Bob posted at the beginning of this and he's right, the work is very good. Can anyone who is better at languages than I am give more of an idea about where the site is and the craftsman (craftsperson, to be PC) who created these models?

JerseyCity Frankie Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Great website! Poking around on it I found this gem: Raindog, ModelsInBottles, John Zuch and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasseur Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 The site is in Sweden and the English Translation is Bottle Skippers. I too was on it today and there are some really nice models there. Once you're on their site use Google Translate and you're good to go!

ModelsInBottles Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Lol that periscope is hilarious The ships on that site are really nice. I can't wait for the day that I learn to put so much more detail into my own work. I'm still new to this site and haven't seen a lot of everyone's work here yet but I bet I'm in for some pretty impressive shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
