DCook Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Anyone put a Viking ship in a bottle? I think the sail would be easy, but what about the oars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 The sail and rigging are pretty easy. They aren't as complicated as most ships. I've never done oars. I've seen a couple methods used. One involving putting all the oars on a line and folding them in similar to the mast then unfolding once they're in. The other method is put the oars in one by one. More tedious but simpler. The other thing to consider is the raised bow and stern. Very often these rise up higher then the bottle neck. By making them detachable you can fit the hull in then attach the pieces making the hull larger than the bottle neck which makes for a real magical ship in bottle.

DCook Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I can see attaching the bow after inserting in the bottle, but the stern would be hard. Or so it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just a little further to go. A long pair of tweezers helps. DCook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
