DSiemens Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share #62 Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks Kat. If you like the QAR you really should see the other Dan's version. It's incredible and follows closely to researched history of the ship. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3741-queen-annes-revenge-by-shipmodel-1710-136-scale/ KAT 1 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSiemens Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share #65 Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks J. Yea bending masts are one way of doing it. There's so many methods out there. Which is one thing I love about this craft. Your right about fitting a lot of ships in small spaces. I keep three on a shelf in my office and eight on a shelf in my living room. There's actually a couple of members of my local club that have started bottling ships partly because they have ran out of space for bigger models.

DSiemens Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share #66 Posted July 4, 2014 Finally got a little more done on the QAR. She's really close I hope to have her done soon. Just a few more spars and sails then I got to prep the bottle and put her in. I've chosen to have the main sails furled. Partly because its a little easier, shows the deck better, and is a standard battle position which is fitting for this ship. Also I had posted a little sloop I did for a kid that was researching pirate ships. Since I had so much fun with it and I gave the other one away I had to do another. I should do a full log on these because they really are so quick and simple. It would be a great build fo some one who wants to get into the real miniature building. shipmodel, jct, JesseLee and 5 others 8 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSiemens Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share #69 Posted July 15, 2014 I was hoping to get the last two sails done before I posted but with in laws in town I haven't found the time. They went home and I found enough time to post. Here's where she's at. I can't say she's the best ship I've ever done but I've learned a lot in the process so she's been worth it. Just got two more sails and she's ready to bottle.

DSiemens Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share #70 Posted July 15, 2014 Oh and as far as the transom goes. I've decided not to add anything.

DSiemens Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share #74 Posted July 19, 2014 Well....She's in. It was a tough battle and she looks it. The mizzen sail came partially off and I couldn't fix it with out removing the ship. The sails in general had trouble and I also lost some rat lines. Not the best ship I've ever built but this ship was experimental and I learned a lot so I am happy with that. I'll try this scale again some time and see if I can't do better. For now I want to get back into my normal scale and a log on the super small ship's I've built.

Omega1234 Posted July 19, 2014 Share #75 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Hi Daniel Seeing your ship and, especially how tiny it is, has taken me back to my childhood! I used to build two and three masted ships not much bigger than yours, with sails, that actually floated. I spent countless hours sailing them in our garden fish pond. At that time, there were no computers, or anything like that. All I had was an imagination and an ability to put it to good use by building and sailing models. Your ship has captured the essence of model building in that it brings joy and wonderment to those who marvel at your skill and are baffled by the age old question of "how that ship could possibly fit in the bottle..." Thank you for bringing joy and taking me back to my childhood! Look forward to seeing more of your extreme miniatures! Well done..

molasses Posted July 19, 2014 Share #76 Posted July 19, 2014 I like this micro miniature a lot. It turned out well considering the limitation of a bottle about the size of a thumb and that it is almost entirely an experiment in new techniques. I especially like the furled courses as if she had just engaged her latest victim - and it fits with the bit of "battle damage" Daniel pointed out. Well done, Daniel.

DSiemens Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share #77 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Omega that's quiet the compliment. Thank you very much. If there is any thing I hope to achieve with my models it's what you describe. David thank you as well. I appreciate your help and support through this build. I've also learned a lot from your recent build. I hope to use some of what I've learned in my next larger build. As far as the next build goes I'd like to do the super miniature sloop next. I need another anyways because they're to easy to give away. Then my son William really wants me to build the Prins Willem. Just so happens Story of Sail has the plans so I guess I'll have to do it.

DSiemens Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share #86 Posted July 20, 2014 It's funny once you start looking what you end up finding. My favorite bottles I've gotten from friends but I've found some good ones in thrift stores including a 1950's wine bottle. I think I may put a 1950's yacht of some sort in that one. I'm not sure yet. I've also found bottles while out walking the dog.
