DSiemens Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Welcome. Let us know what information you need. My suggestion to beginners has always been to look at books like Don Hubbard's Ships in Bottles. Then build a single mast ship, like a Bermuda sloop, in a sauce bottle. The opening is wider on sauce bottles and give you the feel for how it works with out being overly frustrating. From there have fun and test your limits.

Chasseur Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Welcome to the group Mr. Cook. I built the Mamoli Constitution in 1:96 scale with a full set of sails about 30 years ago. Nice kit. Is yours the same or a different supplier? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCook Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Mine was in 1/96 also. The old Revell kit. JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseLee Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Welcome to Bottled Ship Builder! I built that Revel Constitution kit when I was in High School. Moved to wood after that. My first attempt at putting a ship in a bottle turned out terrible but I learned a lot. Each one after that got a little better. Once you try it you will love it!
