Bill Lindahl Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Built this ship in a bottle when I was in the AF in 1965. Now I am replacing some of the rigging that broke and also some of the parts that I broke trying the replace rigging.

Chasseur Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Wow Bill that is a beast of a ship and a bottle to boot! Onni, James w rogers and Bernard Kelly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lindahl Posted August 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Took me 3 months to build. Built it outside the bottle first then had to cut it up to fit through the neck. Deck is 12 pieces and the hull is 8 pieces. Then painted and put back together using magnets and other ideas. Took it apart again and inserted into bottle and rebuilt. The hardest part was rigging in the bottle. James w rogers, exwafoo, Bernard Kelly and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSiemens Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Looks great. The pieces appear to have come together pretty seamlessly. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lindahl Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 I am back online after 5 years. Also joined another model ship club, the "Ship Model Association" in Anaheim CA. They are not in a bottle but they have several MASTER model ship builders in the club. I am lucky that we have a meeting place and meet each month.
