DSiemens Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 The hardest part of bottling one like this is the fine rigging. I'm guessing you use wire. I have a friend that build in this scale though he specializes in passenger ships and thats what he uses. The problem with it is, in regards to bottling, it doesnt fold well and would not look as clean as the unbottles versions. Its also hard to find thread as this as wire. I don't blame you for not bottling these. It would require a bigger scale or out of scale rigging. I appreciate you sharing your wonderful work with the group.

joe100 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Miniature ship models have always fascinated me, but it would be impossible and very limiting to place them inside a bottle. Although the glass case she’s in is semi permanently sealed. DSiemens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Thats why they call them impossible bottles. 😁 Glass cases are great. They can add to the art as well. You would probably like my firends work. Google Bob Fivehouse ship models. Heres an example. https://www.shipmodel.com/acadp_listings/queen-mary-ii/ Onni and exwafoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
