Glen McGuire Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share #64 Posted November 12, 2021 Thank you, Mark! I think that's one advantage or working at such a small scale. The flaws you see on these close up pics you can't see very well when looking at it for real. Having old eyes help, too! 😃 mtaylor 1 Quote Current build: Ghost Ship Jenny - SIB Gallery: Mamoli CSS Alabama; Amati Hannah-SIB; Charles W Morgan-SIB; Aurora-SIB; Independence-SIB; Zheng He Treasure Fleet-SIB; Adventure Galley-SIB; Oseberg/Kraken-SIB; Roman Quinquereme/Archimedes' Claw-SIB, Wa'a Kualua-SIB Completed build logs: Alabama; Hannah; Morgan; Aurora; Independence; Zheng He Treasure Fleet; Captain Kidd's Adventure Galley; Oseberg/Kraken; Roman Quinquereme/Archimedes' Claw, Wa'a Kualua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen McGuire Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share #65 Posted November 17, 2021 The Morgan in a bottle is done! After surviving the broken fore mast disaster, I fixed the middle whale boat as best I could and added some whitecaps to the wave edges in the water. The base I used for the display sort of looks like a piece of driftwood (which is ok considering this is a ship), but it’s actually a weathered branch from a pinion pine tree I found last August in southern Colorado. I was climbing the East Spanish Peak and saw this really cool piece of wood lying on the ground. I put it in my pack and brought it home knowing that I would eventually figure out something to do with it. About halfway thru my Morgan construction, it hit me that the bottle might look pretty cool sitting atop the piece of wood that I’d brought back from Colorado. I found that the bottle fit a groove in the wood pretty well, so after some minor adjustments I got it lying in a place that I thinks works well. Let me know what you think. A HUGE thank you to everyone for your likes, comments, and most importantly your encouragement along the way. The work I see on your build logs is an inspiration, showing me what skill, excellence, and perseverance really look like. And your encouragement keeps me going. You definitely make a difference!

mtaylor Posted November 17, 2021 Share #66 Posted November 17, 2021 Looks really great and that piece of wood does look like driftwood and complements the display.

Landlubber Mike Posted November 17, 2021 Share #67 Posted November 17, 2021 Great job Glen! I love how it turned out, including with the wood base and the cork knot.
