DSiemens Posted December 17, 2017 Author #69 Posted December 17, 2017 Thanks every one. Popeye. The technique of putting the masts in one at a time has been around for a while. I've only done it once before and that was on a more folkart style model. With the way the ship broke up when I first tried to get her in I thought this approach would be better for this model. It worked out nicely I may have to use it in the future.

Landlubber Mike Posted December 19, 2017 #70 Posted December 19, 2017 Daniel, were the lines run from the masts to the hull outside of the bottle (i.e., with long slack lines) so that all you had to do was tighten and tie off? I'm thinking about that approach for my SIB build which is using an upright bottle. popeye the sailor and Omega1234 2 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

DSiemens Posted December 21, 2017 Author #71 Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Mike, No long slack lines no. While puting the masts in one at a time is not new I did take on a new technique as far as the rigging is concerned. I used paint brush bristles which stay straight but still bend with out breaking and will spring back into place. All of the rigging was made from paint brush bristles. I cut the lines precisely so they would line up where they met the hull, masts, yard arms or bowsprit. Once in I dabbed some glue and glued them down. I didn't have to cut any lines in the bottle at all. Just careful manuevering and glueing.

DSiemens Posted December 22, 2017 Author #76 Posted December 22, 2017 Thats a good question. Right now my ship yeard is in flux. We are expecting a little one in February so I need to get my workshop out what will be the baby's room. I am getting a murphy desk so I'll move my workshop there. From there I have a few projects. More sibs of coarse but I've also gotten into a miniature naval warfare I made up and now play with my 5 and 8 year old. The rules are simple enough for them to play and I play as a sort of dungeon master making up ships and monsters that we fight. I want to make more miniature ships for that game. I'm doing 1:1200 scratch built ships like my Queen Anne's Revenge. I might do a Xebec or bermuda sloop at this scale. michael mott, Landlubber Mike, Omega1234 and 4 others 7 Quote Daniel We're ship in bottle builders, it's an occupational hazard. www.siemensbottlingco.blogspot.com http://www.bottledshipbuilder.com Current Builds: Bermuda Sloop Wood Krafters Pirate Ship Completed: 20 Gun Frigate Olympic 470 Bermuda Sloop Super Mini Queen Anne's Revenge German Cutter Mercury Santa Maria
