Bill Hudson Posted May 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2021 I built this in 1954 soon after getting discharged from the Navy. This was my first attempt at ship modeling. the ship was rigged before installing into the bottle then once set in the clay the masts and sails were raised by using the rigging. I built a special tool for reaching inside the bottle from scrap. It is a little bit ugly but did the job. Bill GrandpaPhil, mtaylor, G.L. and 5 others 8 Quote Fall down nine times, get up ten.
