knightyo Posted March 3, 2020 #1 Posted March 3, 2020 So this build log will certainly be different. For years now, my Syren and Triton builds have been gathering cobwebs, and also my Nina, which I ironically undertook in order to have at least one fully complete model in my display case. When I was asked to create a ship in a bottle, it was with some hesitation that I undertook the project. I did it since it was to be an extremely small model out of card. How long could it take, right? 😏 I should have created a log here, but since the build would be so quick, it felt like a log would be a bit superficial so I decided to take video of the project instead. Now that the project is done, I'm thinking it would look far, far better with weathering. If I weather the model, I'll post pics as normal. Overall, this was really a fun little project. For those wondering, I should actually be able to make progress in the "normal" shipyard in a few months!

knightyo Posted March 3, 2020 Author #2 Posted March 3, 2020 (I'm thinking of adding rigging as well since the masts are not glued in, and everything can be taken back out of the bottle fairly easily)...

Landlubber Mike Posted March 3, 2020 #3 Posted March 3, 2020 Really nice Alan! Not sure I've seen someone do a POB SIB build (usually they are solid hull or pieces thereof) but yours came out fantastic. Even more important, it fit through the neck of the bottle Thanks for sharing! mtaylor 1 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

knightyo Posted March 3, 2020 Author #4 Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks Mike! It was a lot of fun to do a POB and not worrying whatsoever about aligning planks from side to side.

mtaylor Posted March 4, 2020 #5 Posted March 4, 2020 Beautiful Alan. I'd say add the rigging and/or weather it if that's what you want to do. knightyo 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
lmagna Posted March 4, 2020 #6 Posted March 4, 2020 Very nice build Alan I also like the video presentation build. It not only shows what you did, but how you did it. Very impressive. knightyo and mtaylor 2 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey

knightyo Posted March 9, 2020 Author #8 Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks Josh I found the music for free within Youtube for that one. I think I like the music better than the video I made. lol Alan mtaylor 1 Quote Alan's POB Build Log HMS Triton 1/64 Alan's POB Build Log USS Syren 1/64 Alan's Build Log Nina 1/106
knightyo Posted July 20, 2020 Author #9 Posted July 20, 2020 Just a small addition to my Ship in a Bottle project. Once I had everything done, ship back in bottle, vid created, etc etc... I realized that I hadn't weathered the deck. Sigh....... Ryland Craze and Landlubber Mike 2 Quote Alan's POB Build Log HMS Triton 1/64 Alan's POB Build Log USS Syren 1/64 Alan's Build Log Nina 1/106

knightyo Posted July 21, 2020 Author #11 Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks Mike! I'm actually relieved to be done with that one. Now the Nina can be finished, and then Syren, Triton, etc.. 😄 mtaylor and Landlubber Mike 2 Quote Alan's POB Build Log HMS Triton 1/64 Alan's POB Build Log USS Syren 1/64 Alan's Build Log Nina 1/106
