Ok , Did you guys hear the scream of joy. Yes the Hannah is in the bottle. I made a little video of putting it in, you can hear things bending to the point of breaking. When it finally slipped in, you can hear a big sigh of relief. I glued it in places , let it dry good then the fun began. Started pulling the out the lines all felt good,then snap frist pull line broke. Then the other one broke. I could see one sail off and the rear mast was bent badly 😢. 7 hours later I got it the point where I could live with it . Hannah is going to love her Hannah can't wait to give her the ship 💗 💓 The water was made by painting the bottom of the bottle with super glue , then blue, then I scratched the blue and then painted the white. Then I scratched some fish lol just made little marks on the bottle, then painted it black to show up good. Looks like sharks at the back and a couple of whales on the front. I LOVE IT! So now I have to clean it up ,glue on the bottle...easy fix. Now I needto come up with a stand.

Well today we dug our selfs out of the snow. Not bad waiting for the next one lol. With not being able to go to the model store for water effects, I played around with super glue and blue paint. It was going OK on the practice jar, but then I realized I can't paint the bottle that was supplied , no way to paint in the corner. So I thought out side the bottle in this case lol. Painted the strip on the bottom white scratches for waves and a few black spots for whales. I wish it was going to be that easy on the real bottle. Now for the stand I am thinking a mirror back ground on a oak frame, so you can see more than one ship . Have to see how that looks. So now I will paint the bottom of my bottle seal it with shellac, slip the ship in and put it on the stand. My path along seems straight forward. But you never know . These pictures will show you what I am going for. A great weight is off now that the ship part is finished. Now let's see what happens with it when I smash it up and bring it back to life. LOL.

How many kits do you have on the go at the moment?
Knocklouder replied to CaptnBirdseye's topic in Wood ship model kits
Ohh , only if I could . I am so anxious to get back to the Mayflower. Then I want to build the Nina, follow by Viking Long Boat, or the Sea of Galalie boat. Then I should be ready for the Pegasus lol. And after that I get to buy any model I want LOL -

Knocklouder replied to CaptnBirdseye's topic in Wood ship model kits
I remember when I joined 20 months ago I was so over whelmed with all the amazing logs and thought never going to happen. One ship at a time lol now that I have finished one I have three on the go One just about finished , one half way, one waiting for parts. And too make matters worse I am thinking of the Pegasus all the time lol. This is the funniest, finest hobby I every had . My head spins with all the ideas I find here. -
Ok this is as far as I go I am done. No rat lines I surrender that's it LOL. I can't do anything until I put the water in. Who knows when ,plus I still have no Idea what stand I will make . So until bottle time see ya!!! I will talk to you all soon.

Wow both you guys have great looking sails. I went with the kit sails, mainly because I have not looked into making my own sails . There is so much to learn here about ships. Some day maybe. This is my Hannah rigged. Not an easy job . But some how I think I got it. There is a few lines that I have to tighten, a few sails to surcure , but for the most part I think the rigging is done. Despite the kit sails, which I think are to large looking they do look nice, and after it is in the bottle it will look great lol. Thanks @Glen McGuire for the advice on the water. Amazon wants double the price that I can get from a hobby store in the city. So will go there, but not today we are in for another round of winter, hooray more shoveling. Here are a few pictures of were I am at now. Going to start looking for some stand ideals. P.S. I forgot the shrouds and rat lines oh boy.

Today is anchor day. After repairing the little peices I broke off , looks like I am ready to tackle this job. Yep they are not spaced right but who will see lol. The anchors are just hung by bending the eye bolt, will they fall off when I rap it all up and stick it the bottle? Also looking at making water, I been looking on Amazon too many products. I won't need much , no room to spare lol. I put a mast on temporarily to get a measurement 2/ 3/4 . I think I have 3 inches to work with going to be tight. It seem to go in and out of the bottle now but don't have the sails on. I stained the sails, but It didn't take the stain, may brush a little paint on before I insert the ship for the last time. The first Mate sewed on the bolt ropes, after I glued them on with G-S hypo cement. Was not sure if the glue wood hold after crumpling the sails up so we sewed them on as well Its going well but this is so tiny, I really like doing this ship in the bottle, but will be really, really glad to get back to my 1:60 scale Mayflower model lol. Ok need water advice very small amount lol. Later my friend's. Bob M.

Thank you. I think I will go with the kit supplied, I am finding this tiny. Going to have plenty of sails to make on My Mayflower, LA Nina, Viking Long Boat, Sea of Galilee, and the Pegasus lol But I have started to look at how to make sails with silk span

Well moving on, I have installed the cannons. Right down to the brown for the wheels. I cut some disposable paint brushs down to size, one has three hairs for production painting, one has one hair for fine detailing lol. The top left hand cannon looks like it misfired. I meant to do that lol 😆 One thing I do different is paint the name on later rather than sooner, rough handing will ware it off , I need to study a few things in the detailing of painting, three fine logs that I follow are painted different, so choices have to be made. Painting all my mast black, I thought I would get a jump on it. But, I am starting to get into this. My First Mate BFF came over and looked at it and said if all else fails, you can break it all up and put it in the bottle on a shore with rocks and say this is what it looks like after hurricane HANNAH ..LOL .. So If it all goes south I may take her up on it lol. Going to make the sails and anchors and stuff, oh my. Do you realize that no one will ever see my brown wheels? Later my friend's.

You might want to try building a small tent like a mini spray booth to limit the range of the flying projectiles just a thought. I would not want to lose any of those sheids they are awesome.
