I will have to keep some of his tips and tricks in mind during the next couple of steps while inserting Hannah into the bottle.

Landlubber Mike Posted March 9, 2015 Share #36 Posted March 9, 2015 Hey Carl, not sure if you already got your model into the bottle or finished it. I got my model into the bottle last night and raised the masts. I need a little more time tonight to arrange the sails a little better and she will be done. It was getting late, and I didn't want to make any mistakes from being tired or otherwise rush it. I'll try to post my log tonight, but if I can't get to it, I just wanted to pass along a couple of tidbits. The insertion process is very stressful! First, I couldn't get the rear mast folded down due to the way that I ran the rigging. For some reason, the jib staysail (the inner one) was restricting the mast from fully lowering. I ended up having to cut the line from the top of the main mast, tied that line (on which the jib staysail was) to one of the spars, and ran a separate line from the top of the main mast to the exit hole. So, make sure your masts can be fully folded down. Once that issue was resolved, I tried to figure out a better tool to insert it into the bottle than the string technique the kit calls for. The model is too heavy for the string technique in my experience (or it needs perfect execution to work). I ended up taking a piece of annealed copper wire, bent it to the same configuration as the other metal piece, and then taped it to the handle. When the ship was in the bottle, I cut the tape and pulled out both halves of the tool. The bottle opening is incredibly tight. I filed down the inside bottom edge of the bottle to help push it in. Even then, it required heavier pressure to insert than I was expecting. It was that tight even with the fact that I had sanded off the keel bottom since I added sea to the bottle. Once inside the bottle, I used the insertion tool and other tools to pull the masts up and position the sails. Be careful to do it slowly, and watch for any bent masts, The top of my main mast was bent somehow through the process, which was a little tricky to straighten out. The bottle is pretty narrow inside, making any tool work pretty tricky. The key I think is to make sure the ship is firmly glued to the bottom of the bottle so that you can pull the masts up. Anyway, don't mean to scare you or anything, just wanted to make sure that you were prepared. I'll let you know when I get my log up, but otherwise, let me know if you have any questions.

cwboland Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share #37 Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks for the heads up Mike. No, I haven't had time to insert my ship in the bottle yet. Been delaying the process. I'm thinking of making a little stand for the bottle to rest on for displaying before I actually put her in. I have some scrap Douglas Fir that looks like it would work for this. I'll be posting updates when I have time to work on it, hopefully this weekend.

b dylan Posted March 11, 2015 Share #38 Posted March 11, 2015 Hi Carl I made the Amati Golden Yacht kit a year ago. Here is a youtube link - showing the build: I found that using a surgical alligator forceps (obtained from ebay ) worked nice to hold the end of the ship when inserting it in the bottle. I made my own stand and first glued it to the base of the bottle before inserting the ship. shawn32671, IgorSky and Landlubber Mike 3 Quote Current Build - Confederacy Completed Builds - Amati Revenge, USN Picket, US Brig Syren, Mayflower, Hannah SIB, Concord Stagecoach Completed Scratch Build - Ship in Bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted March 12, 2015 Share #39 Posted March 12, 2015 Great work on the Amati Carl. It's a tough build especially getting it into the bottle. Mike's given some great advice. If your interested in ship in bottle techniques the best websites out there, at least in my opinion, I've put in the links section of my blog. http://www.siemensbottlingco.blogspot.com/p/links.html I especially recommend the Facebook forum and Michael Bardet's website and Folk art in Bottles. There's a lot of great information out there. Good luck getting her in the bottle. For as tough as it can be it's the most satisfying part.

cwboland Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share #40 Posted March 24, 2015 Finally back in the shipyard and work continues on the Hannah. Built a small wooden stand, similar to the one in the link that Hamilton (post #31) provided a while ago. This was crafted with some spare Douglas Fir I had laying around in the shop. Simple construction was the key here. I just had to narrow the two pieces I was using, as the original boards were about 6” wide and too big for what I needed. I was able to finish the stand using a water-based semi-gloss finish from Minwax. Three coats of this (similar application to a WOP) and it's as smooth as glass with a mild sheen to it. I also managed to get the ship's stand into the bottle. Using the tool provided, I placed some tape on the stand and applied some CA to the brass wire and placed it on the tape. I found this easier than using two-sided tape on the wire and trying to get it to stick to the brass sheet on the stand. Five minute epoxy was then applied to the bottom of the stand, and the whole assembly was slid into the bottle. The location for the stand was determined using a sheet of paper, with the outline of the stand traced onto it, taped to the bottom side of the bottle. After about ten or fifteen minutes, the brass tool and tape were removed as the epoxy had cured enough that it would not move if pressure was applied to it. I also had to perform some minor surgery on the Hannah herself. If you look back to the placing of the brass keel, it sticks down below the hull too far. This was causing issues with the test insertions into the bottle I did. Using some of the Admirals nail polish remover, I was able to un-stick the CA that I used for gluing the keel in place, cleaned out the slot, and re-laid the keel.

cwboland Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share #43 Posted March 27, 2015 Just a small update today. Re-painted the keel after the surgery from the last post. I also borrowed Mike's idea to paint the seal on the bottle cap. Still some minor touch-ups to do. All the colours I used are Tamiya acrylics, except the grey. I used Model Master Steel for the grey, as I thought it looked more like a knights helmet than any of the other greys I have lying around. There does seem to be some clouding on the brass plate on the stand in the bottle that is probably from the CA used to place it in the bottle. Any ideas on how to clean that off? I was thinking some acetone on a cotton swab, probably some more of the Admirals nail polish remover. You should be able to see it in the below picture, on either side of the tape. Next update should be inserting the Hannah into her final resting place in the bottle, raising the sails, and corking the bottle.

Hyposphagma Posted March 31, 2015 Share #44 Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Carl. Just found your log. Your Hannah came out nicely. I built her too. And because it was fun I bought the Amati Golden Yacht too which is a little more detailed than the Hannah. But same principle and fun to build too. If you are interested you will find both bottles and more in the gallery in my profile here in MSW. I saw that you glued the stand already inside the bottle. Because I was scared not being able to sit the Hannah straight on that 4 pins i soldered two little brass "V" on the front and aft pin to make the landing area for the ship bigger. It worked out pretty well. If you want to do the same: Just one hit with a screwdriver under the stand and it will come out again. Then you can clean it easily too. Best is acetone to remove CA. Wishing you luck with the bottling process. Take your time and don't rush. It is no rocket science. The result will make you happy.

cwboland Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share #47 Posted April 3, 2015 Finally managed to insert the Hannah into the bottle. Took a little bit of fiddling to get in to sit on the stand properly, but I managed to do it without having to file down the neck of the bottle itself. That was a couple of days ago. Had to let the epoxy set up enough to raise the masts and tie off the pull lines. Finally complete, got the cork on the bottle. Used clear indoor/outdoor silicone to seal the cork in place rather than epoxy or CA, as the silicone can be removed if the ship needs to be stood upright in the event of an accident. Finally complete, she sits pride of place right next to the Bluenose II on top of the (current) china cabinet. The Admiral suggests that I build a dedicated shelf for the two of them. I have to find the time to be able to do that among all the other projects she's got me doing right now. So ends my version of the Amati Armed Schooner Hannah SIB.
