I then glued on walnut veneer. I had a picture of a model that I used as a guide. Notice the mast in the picture. This was used to hold the boat steady.
I had a picture from Cape Porpoise in Maine that I used as a backdrop in the bottle. I cut it so the reflection in the water was on the bottom and cut a hole in the shape of the boat
Adding the top part of the cabin. Making the other parts that I will use. Notice the split in the roof so I can fit it in the bottle. The ship is HO scale so that I could use lobster traps, buoys, and lobsters that is available as one kit.
Nice job. The article and plans are probably those by my old friend Glenn Braun, who will be pleased to know they are still of use to modelers looking for something a little different.
What a treat! A truly charming little work of art and a testament to great patience, skill, and imagination. Something to take pride in. Thanks for sharing!
