DelmerModels Posted October 4, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2021 After finishing a 7 month complex project, I needed a quick-hit fun project. After watching a few vids on Ships in Bottles, I chose the 1:300 Amati Hannah. So far, it been pure fun. Little commitment, no stress, and totally different. While I want to produce a quality finished model, the ridiculousness of my large hands trying to craft a 1:300 scale ship and then raise the masts and sails inside what looks like an old-west elixir bottle is comical. But it’s working out so far! For anyone looking for an entertaining diversion, I’d highly recommend trying it out.

Glen McGuire Posted October 6, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2021 I just finished one of these about a month ago. Definitely lots of fun, but I did manage to find some stress (self-induced) in the process! Enjoy the ride!

DelmerModels Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted October 6, 2021 Yeah Glen I’ve already been pulled into a false sense of security And found myself reshaping the hill to fit some of the PE parts. This model is some and complex at the same time. But really fun. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landlubber Mike Posted October 6, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 6, 2021 It's a fun little kit. Two things to look out for: (1) make sure the height of the ship can clear the bottle (it's an awfully tight fit), and (2) be careful with the bowsprit and masts, which are very fragile and prone to snapping.
